hey all, i'm considering investing in some lug locks. specifically these: http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/ProjectSAM-Lug-Locks-1Pack?sku=500973
anyone have any experience with these or lug locks in general? how well do they work? are they a gimmick? how many do you use?
i've never used lug locks before and was originally thinking about buying lug locks for all the tension rods on my kit (both batter and reso sides) but i have been told that they're only really necessary on the batter side, and even then only on the lugs that you frequently strike (where you typically rim shot.) still, is it worth it to outfit the entire kit with lug locks to completely prevent it from coming out of tune?
thanks!
