For instance :

Starting from a circle :

  • Add a circle
  • In edit mode (Tab) extrude E and stay in place (Esc or RMB)
  • Scale S
  • Select all and extrude again E

Or from a cylinder :

  • Add it
  • Remove top and bottom the faces
  • Then same principles as above

enter image description here

Or using curves :

  • Add a plane
  • Keep only the edges X the 'only faces'
  • Back to object mode convert it to a curve Alt+C then curve from mesh
  • Add a bezier circle curve
  • Set the previous plane as bevel object
  • Tuning : move the plane vertices (or scale or other) to make the hole appear (here in edit mode, select all then grab along X)

Another one !! Using spin tool :

  • Add a plane
  • Keep only the edges
  • In edit mode offset it (and eventually scale it)
  • Go in front view (viewing the plane on its side)
  • Then spin tool Alt+R, set the rotation, the amount of steps
  • Remove double (for the last step which overlaps)
