Can someone tell me if the bass drum hoops (also) made of poplar or maple?

Poplar, same as the shell as far as I know.

Animal,

They are poplar. However, if you want nicer glossy black maple hoops, you can spend about $120 and use a pair of the the 16" Pearl Competitor series 1.5" black marching bass drum replacement hoops. They are all maple and lacquered all around so they would really be a classy looking upgrade.

I've used them to replace damaged Masterworks hoops when I've had black kits, and you can't tell the difference.
