Lugs for MIJ drum set.

Posts: 7 Threads: 1

Hi,

I bought a red sparkle, three piece kit (bass, rail mounted tom and floor tom) about ten years ago. It has no badges and no serial number anywhere. The wood grain goes from hoop to hoop and the floor tom leg bracket says Japan. So, I'm guessing MIJ Pearl kit. Here's the problem, over the years two bass drum and two floor tom lugs have broken off and I would want to replace them. Any idea, where I could get these lugs?

Any help would be appreciated.

Alex

I'm trying to upload more than one picture, but I am not able to. Maybe this one will help.

One day I decided to see how many variations there were / I had of the Slingerland tom lug. (All MIJ)

Well, I collected and compared - and discovered that after a SHORT gathering I had 4 different ones. I suspect there are even more and sometime I will share my findings in a dedicated thread.

Point is - there are MANY variations - be sure to research this before you guys make a deal. Prevent frustration and potential inconveniences (or even conflict) between forum members.

All the Best,

John

I had a great day! Instead of sleeping in and wasting the day, I got up at 8 and I had all my slacking done by noon!

These are GRETSCH copies, not Slingerland. The OP is seeking Slingerland (as far as I can tell from his pic)

Well, I don't think they look anything like Slingerland.. but a side profile pic would help... and maybe post a pic of the underside as well.
