[COLOR="DarkRed"]Did you buy it Avedis ? Did you happen to notice if the lugs are cracked at all ? B&B lugs had a great tendency to crack...they were not the best design.

No worries if some are, that is typical. For $100, it still is a good deal even with cracked lugs. But as Plough said, you are going to have to address those lugs even if they are not cracked.

So, when you get the drum, loosen the tension on the heads and inspect.

Do NOT retighten the tension until you have checked out the forum which Plough suggested. Lots of good tips on maintaining those lugs.

You can also buy new reproduction replacements which are much stronger but expensive.

Nice find !!!! That's a pretty rare drum ![/COLOR]
