ABSTRACT:
Lug assemblies and associated methods of attaching a drum head to a drum body. The lug assembly may comprise a lug body having a seating surface; an elongate link having a proximate end disposed proximate the drum head and a distal end disposed distal from the drum head; a stop assembly adjustably coupled to the link. The stop assembly constrains the link distal end from movement toward the drum head when the stop assembly engages the link and bears against the seating surface. Engagement surfaces constrain rotation of the stop assembly and thereby allow the stop assembly to be moved toward the link distal end when the link proximate end is closer to the stop assembly than the seating surface. The stop assembly may be inserted into the recess from a direction that is generally tangential to a periphery of the drum body.
