Now to decide on 8 or 10 lugs
Thinking I’ll get a DW Mag strainer with the 3 way butt plate and Tube lugs …

Attempt at humor. When my kids would say, “Do you know what?” I would respond, “Yeah, he’s a good friend of mine.”
You know people, I know what.
I’ll get out of your thread now.

Great job on the snare!

That’s hilarious !!!
 
So @Houndog i am curious, are you drilling the shell for hardware or was it already drilled? I want to do some of my own work but it is a bit intimidating. Then again, when I was a teenager way back before the internet and all the how-to videos I didn’t give a second thought to drilling my new Ludwigs for a mix of Roger’s Memory Lock and Tama hardware. With an electric hand drill no less.

I had it wrapped and edged and had snare beds cut in by a pro .
I did all the drilling . Measure 6 times !

A lay out mat is a must .

I drilled holes in a brand new DW bass drum years ago , they didn’t drill the holes for the woofer mount ……
I drilled holes in a nice GMS Floor tom to put legs on it …

Measure measure measure !!!!
Use a sharp bit !!!
