the tacked bottom toms will already have a bearing edge in them, Under the pigskin bottom head, so the lugs is all you have to do, finding the lugs will be a tough one to do. also my L/L/'s are 40's the floor toms at this time where 16x16 an 18x20",, there where no 16x18" until the 50's,

There's currently 4 single-ended lugs on the Bay, and I just saw a set of non-snare double-ended ones on there a few days ago.

Cool, the real Imperial lug is a two piece lug, that is what is on my kit, the lug has a bottom plate that it sits on.

Sorry, I meant to get back to you on those earlier. I went to the shop yesterday and unfortunately they were gone. They sold them to a collector about two weeks ago. Upon remembering them, they were quite shallow and wouldn't have had the room for another row of imperial lugs anyway.

Here are a few pic's of a double sided real Imperial lug.

That's cool... I appreciate you checking on that for me, regardless. :)

Yeah, those are like the double-ended ones that ended last week on eBay, and very similar, obviously to the single-ended ones on there now.

This is part of the plan, although Keller doesn't offer a 3-ply mahogany shell. Only a 6-ply. :(

Jon, I own both leedy and Ludwig ludwig drum kits both being conn era drum kits,, I also own a Keller Vintage Mahogany shelled drum, the Keller shells sound nothing like a real conn era shell, just my 2 cents!

That's why I want vintage 3-ply mahogany/poplar/mahogany shells... ;)
