Not sure if you watched the video, but the lug on that Weckl snare has the anti-rotation pin above the screw. I've never seen the older MC square lug with the pin below the screw, but from what I've observed on the interwebs, it didn't make a difference...

I had a look at my Bordin copper, and the seam is aligned with the lugs. However, the seam is fully brazed and there is no "butt join" that can be seen anywhere (although the join is clearly visible). I know I'm using a newer copper model as a comparison, so perhaps it's not comparable to an...

My current mobile phone plan has 3gb data per month included (which I never ever get remotely close to using). I get an email telling me "based on my data usage", their more expensive 20 gazillion gigabyte plan would suit me much better. Some moron has given some stupid fast loan company my...
