Tube Drum Lugs

Tube lugs seem to be the lug of choice for most "custom" drum companies and for good reasons - they look great on any drum and usually solid brass which makes them very durable. There is however some characteristics about tube lugs that could make them difficult to work with for the amateur drum builder. You may have noticed that many lugs have an insert inside the lug that can move around slightly to accept the tension rod. Tube lugs do not have this move-able insert so your drilling must be precise.

You may not have thought about tuning your drums and thought that the tensions in the heads when you bought the drum kit were correct at the time. With a little bit of extra work you can tune all your drum heads for the different drums in your kit.

The drum head is the white or clear surface on top and bottom of the drums When many people think about the drums, they don't usually think about tuning.
