Well, I just made a boo boo with this drum set

I put 1" tom lugs on the bass drum...tom lugs don't have the height for the tension rods to screw in straight if you use them on a bass drum....so I'm getting the 2" BASS DRUM lugs shipped to me as we speak. I plan on drilling another hole an inch below the lower lug hole for the 2 in lug....then i'll have an extra hole in the middle...I could just leave it and use them for my air vents all 20 of them!...but I think i'm going to try to stick LED lights in the holes and somehow use a trigger to light them up every time I kick it. I'll keep you posted....

Just get some chrome spacers as Gretsch did on their early Broadcaster bass drums...

I've got a bunch of 1" bass drum tubes – i'll swap your 20 tom lugs for 20 bass.

I actually got this all worked out. Ego Drum Supply is doing me good. They are sending me some 1" bass drum lugs and letting me keep the 2" lugs. There was a little confusion with my order, which was partly my fault, maybe partly theirs, so they are making it right, which is great because I'll be doing more business with them because of this.

Here is another picture. This one is the toms, i'll get a better picture when the set is done!
