While not for a vintage drum (I'm hoping one day it will be). I built and finished my own snare drum from a 1" super solid maple shell. It sounds truly amazing. I bought some lugs - after a long and unrewarding search - and powder coated them myself. I've never been happy with them and now I'm on a mission to get the right ones in place. The resources online are very poor - and I don't say that lightly. I've spent hours trying to locate something decent.
They're just under 2" hole spacing, let's say 48-49 millimeter and I was looking for something special. Even if you know of a site that has good stuff, etc. it would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul.
