Hello, Slavic brother!-)

This Eastren bloc stuff is always funny... I really like it, especially because the age when it was made is over...

I dig the wrap and the lugs!

Hi Gilnar!

There are many different posts "buy & sell" in Russian/Ukranian/Belorussian drum forums - choose it.

But horror lugs with thread directly in mould, without swim-nut - its a really rare to find... :)

I never saw the kit...........someone just told me about it on the phone in N.Y........

He said it had a "Gretsch" sound to it (no re-rings I recall)............

Thanx for sharing this Eastern series with us. I really greatly appreciate that you have taken apart a lug to show us how it works. It's an interesting idea to make a combined piece of metal for lug AND fixing screw thread!Mind Blowi:D

Well Ralf,it was obviosly cheepest way to do it with lugs.No die cast,just what you can do in better equiped home work place.Many of the eastern drums were also made from card board plies put together in shell.Best drums here during seventies and 80-ties were Amatai,older ones with re-rings and older Tacton(former DDR),also with re rings,but i think they were one play.Later in 80-es,Amati produce without re rings,deeper shells,and Tacton switched to card box.
