tard, thanks for the info (I put approx prices to fit a ten lug drum (batter head only)). Actual mileage will vary. NOTE: I don't rim shot too much, but like to do the rim clicks during breakdowns.
and Bill - Thanks for the great tip!
So I picked up a 100 piece bag of these nuts for $6.
My only question is, at this price and for what they do - WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE DO THIS?

I've tried a couple products on the market without much success, but I found what I think to be the best and cheapest solution:
Go to the hardware store and buy 12-24 nuts in stainless steel. Thread them on to your rods and then once your snare is tuned to your liking, tighten the nuts down against the lugs. That locks them in place and the problem is absolutely solved. You can smash all day everyday and they never go anywhere. You can punch into a recording long after the fact and the drum will still sound exactly like it did the first time.
