hi Pinoydrums forumites,
im a regular on guitar central but i need your help on my nephew's ddrum problem.
as based on this thread
http://talk.philmusic.com/board/index.php/topic,25381.0.htmlsandythedrummer quoted, mahina nga yung lugs ng drums - i do confirm it. 1 week ago, my nephew recently bought a diablo punx kit (ala bonham) at JB. he knows how to play drums but noob yet to gears and maintenance since this is first kit. to my dismay, pagkauwi namin, biak na agad yung lock para paa ng floor tom (or whatever you termed it, di ko po kasi alam
). good thing they replaced it after returing that specific part the next day. this is the sad news, a week later, while he was tuning the snare, one of the lugs broke. same thing did happen on one of the floor tom. i think its made of cast zinc tapos manipis pa yung walls ng lugs. i presume it can't withstand the tension that's why it broke off.
reading through some of the threads here, well i really learned my lesson that hardware sturdyness should be one of the primary consideration when buying a kit. well anyway, i can't bring back the past. please take note also that the lugs presented on ddrum's website is completely different from the ones sold here.
with this, can you help out guys with this problem. your suggestions are highly appreciated. i am having a dilemma that some of the lugs will be experiencing the same thing (oh well i hope not). To add up to it (and since i really a noob), i think the lugs are not in the same size like those available at lazer, although i haven't checked it personally yet. mas maliit yung agwat ng screws ng lugs ng ddrums over dun sa available sa lazer. for me ok lang naman kahit anong matibay na lugs na magkakasya dun sa butas ng shell. the snare lugs is also different from the standard lugs. It has a different set of lugs sa taas at sa baba ng skin
here's my questions
1. where can I source locally a sturdy/hard/durable lugs that will fit the screw holes punx kit shells?
2. is there anyone here fabricating custom lugs? sa machine shop ba pwede magpa-fabricate?
3. is it okay to rebore new holes to the shells to fit the commercially available lugs? but as much as possible, i don't want to resort to this.
if this is a double post pardon me or a thread like this is already existing, can you reply back to me the thread/s pertaining to this?
HHHEEELLLPPP!!!!
