Snare Lug Showdown: Can you Hear the Difference? | Season Five, Episode 1

What’s the perfect number of lugs for a snare drum? How many lugs does a snare need for it to be a professional model? Well, it really depends on what you want to do with the drum. In fact, the number of lugs may have more of an impact on the capabilities of a drum that just about any other feature.

Extra thanks to ASBA Drums for letting us use their TopLug snare drum for this episode. As a result, we were able to produce a true single-variable comparison. Learn more about the TopLug here: https://sladl.ink/TopLugPage
