6061 Parts

There's more to it than just Lugs! Have a gander at the rest of the goods! But first, what’s 6061? These parts are made of solid 6061 Aluminum alloy then clear anodized leaving a soft, raw satin look. Used for building airplanes, bikes, scuba tanks, and having great corrosion resistance, this stuff is tough and light. These parts are on TreeHouse’s Made in USA drums, and are now available for you to retrofit your own drums.

What we have here is a multi-purpose piece. It’s used in pairs to hold things. 6 on a floor tom = floor tom leg brackets. Put 2 on a mounted tom and your post-style arm suspends your tom. Next, use a pair on each side of a bass drum to hold curved spurs.

Nodes

These are the parts of the 6061 Lugs that attach to the drum shell. Instead of calling them “Snare” and “Bass,” they’re called “Short” and “Tall.” This has to do with how far off of the shell they hold the Tubes. Each are available in two versions — Through and Pocket. Through Nodes allow the Tube to pass completely through them to customize your Lug spacing. The Pocket Nodes are only drilled part way through so the the Tube only exits in one direction. The nipple, or part of the Node that goes into the shell fits into a 5/16” hole and is hollow to allow both the Hex Set Screw to hold the Tube in place and the Backing screws to hold it the Lug to the shell.

HoopClaws

So ya wanna wrap a hook around your bass drum hoop to hold your head on? Cool, but where were your claws made? Most are imported. Another way to secure tension rods to bass drum hoops is by attaching small brackets directly to the hoops; pass rods through the HoopClaws into the lugs and there you have it!
