Replacing a Bass Drum Lug.

Step 1: Well first, this is the broken lug, because of a cheap kit and hard playing

it broke, so we´ll need a new lug, usually you can get the original bass drum lug, but we´ll use a double lug.

Step 2: Place.

Well, lug used to be there, so we´ll gonna search the remaining screws.

Step 3: This is it

All equipment we will need, notice that´s a double lug, is originally form snare drums, but we´ll convert it to a bass drum lug.

Step 4: So we start.

Taking the tom or toms out, we nedd our Bass drum to be disengaged from any equipment.

Step 5: Disabling the screws.

after disengaged from toms and pedal or pedals, we got to wind out the crews from the lugs.

Step 6: I�m double working.

because there´s a second lug broken, but we´ll see...

Step 7: 1...2..3...

Step 8: Finally done.

so we did it...with the screws, so we take the ring and head out to start on the real job.

Step 9: There is it, ready to be worked out.

Notice the order of the screws, It´s lacking of one.

Step 10: Pop�em out.

Take out the old screws, or be sure the holes to be open.

Step 11: We go for our new Lug.

wind screws out.

Step 12: Like this.

our lug got to be looking like this, so we are targetting that spring in the center, specially the sleeves in tne extremes of srping.

Step 13: Push.

both sides of springs, push it, sometimes get really hard, so if you do it with something else, be careful of pieces to fly.

Step 14: Sleeve.

this is the sleeve we´re taking out, the snare drum screws are different, so we must convert, got find the broken Lug, and search that piece, when you...

Step 15: Seems shitty.

BUT, we must look for the old sleeve AND spring, because is bigger and brings best results; so we put it like this behind the sleeve, that way it push...

Step 16: Remember is a double lug

so it means double sides, then attach the "original" sleeve to it, so it can hold it.

Step 17: like this

Step 18: Then attach to the Bass drum like this

carefully, when its there, attach it with soft hits.

Step 19: Exactly.

when attached, go for the screws and go to the inside of the bass drum.

Step 20: You are getting it.

Do it hard, the hardest you can.

Step 21: Got to be like this

after that, you can start to put the head on, the ring, and screws on the lugs =]

Step 22: There it is!

Like brand new, now we can rock it on!! \m/

Step 23: By the way, remember sleeves are not the same, so don�t throw them away!

you better keep´em

Step 24: And that�s all...!
