Solid Brass Lugs - Minimum Contact, Maximum Resonance
In the tradition of a fine brass horn, we designed our lug to become an extension of the drum shell, creating a unified body that resonates as one.  They have no hollow cavities like the cheap die cast lugs used by 99% of all other drum companies.  The little "air pockets" in die cast lugs act as sound absorbers in the same way that a double plate glass window does in a recording studio.  That dead air space kills the vibration of the shell and dampens the overall resonance.

Spaun lugs were designed to be small yet sturdy, and they attach to the shell with a single screw to insure minimal contact and maximum resonance of each drum.  Our solid brass lug is a 2 piece design.  It consists of a solid "body" and a threaded "insert".  We designed our lug this way so that the insert can float within the body. This allows for variances in counter hoops, and insures proper alignment of the tension rod with the lug.  In addition, this design reduces tension rod back-out which plagues simple and cheaper solid lug designs that have no inserts.

Spaun solid brass lugs are available in both brass or chrome plated finish as the standard, with a multitude of optional powder coated colors as well.

Vintage Tube Lugs
For that "classic" look, we offer vintage tube lugs.  Like our proprietary Spaun lug, they are machined from solid brass.  Their two point contact to the shell does inhibit vibration and reduce the drum's resonance.  We use a 1" vintage tube lug on toms and kick drums in an effort to reduce this effect.  Snare drum lug sizes vary depending on the depth of the drum.  Our more affordable "production style" TL Series feature the Vintage Tube Lug.
For maximum resonance and uniqueness, the Spaun Proprietary lug is your best choice and unmatched in the industry.
