I have come up with a solution to some questions about grommets Now this solution is maybe not for all of us, but for those drums and owners that 100% accuracy is not vital, and you want a solution on the low down, I found, quite by accident, these eyelets in the sewing section of Michael's. I was looking at grommets for the rescues and there just weren't any that would work. Then I was walking down another aisle and these just drew my eye. They are very cheap, I think 2 bucks for the pack of 12 sets, or 24 pcs. They are two different sizes and for my money, and the process I use, it works superbly. And a bolt that is tapered on the head, with a nut drawing it down makes it nice and tight. The pack says "12 sets of 1/4" eyelets" and they fit a grommet hole well, if you choose to use them in place of ordering the ones from any of the drum supply sites for .89 ea up....
pics are: package, larger dia, and smaller dia. For my money, they look great and serve the purpose of making an ugly hole attractive,Cool Dude sorta like the difference between tap beer and micro-brews, one may taste better, but they have the same effect.....Falling Do
