Luis, hope you don't mind if I use your question to back up Gary's design principal, & Gary, please feel free to shoot this apart if I'm on the wrong track.Gwaco, sorry if you've already answered this but I've looked this over a couple times and can't find exactly how you tune the reso head...
Why would you be worried about what I thought?Man, You had me sweating !
Gary...As I've said before, I've thought about an equivalent design to what you've got, but the fact that you can't individually tighten the heads to different tensions....that's why I stopped thinking about this design. I tune my toms so that the reso head is a full octave above the batter head. From what I am seeing, this can't be accomplished with your lugs. That fact would prevent me from buying this system. I am just being honest, calling it how I see it. I know you've really put in the blood sweat and tears, and I apologize for highlighting issues, but if I don't someone else will. I have a feeling that a great proportion of prospective buyers may want the different tension capability, I know I would. That's my biggest stumbling point. How would you respond to these concerns?
Jer - I love you ! you just created another brainstorming session ! I now have another prototype to come up with , alittle different than your pic , but it ignited the idea !
Maybe i'll call it the JER-e-RIG !

Also, in the case of snares, the thinner reso head would stretch more than the batter head, resulting in a higher tension on the reso compared to the batter (if my logic is correct). Is this the case? Same issue w/ 2 ply batters and single ply resos I would guess.
Can you explain to me something that will disspell any doubts?
Again I apologize for the challenges.
Just a small update, but first I want to thank everyone that gives Jennifer support and helpful criticism.
As far as what is happening with me and Wac'd Drums , I have been having quite a few ups and downs over the last two months. My enthusiasm is still running high but some reality has hit. The investor and partner I had needed to back out due to his immediate work obligations. So that meant I also lost my start up capitol.But I still have managed to get a number of snare sets out to some members here for their feedback and results.
So once again I am behind the barrel so to speak on getting things fully operational, but in due time I'm sure it will happen. I actually have a meeting next week with another possible investor, so wish me luck.
In the mean time I have been very busy continually taking things from the drawing board and getting them into the prototype stage. The Bass Station has gone from drawings to being roadtested as we speak. The results have been nothing short of spectacular. I will get more indepth with it once we get some road time in with it. Also the prototype tom holder that will work with the lugs is proving to be a great addition to the lugs.
I invite everyone here to check out my Facebook page and look under the product photos and take a look , and while your there hit me up ! I would love for everyone on this board to follow me along with this.

Thanks Luke , I will get that fixed !
It was great to see you again John! Thanks for the vote of confidence, much appreciated!
Heck of a clinic wasn't it ?
edit; Luke I just tried it again and it worked, but I'm not sure if it links it because its on my computer or not!
edit , edit : O.k. try this and let me know if it links - http://www.facebook.com/people/Wacd-Drums/100002092039436
Luke , I got your add, Thanks ! As I had said in my previous post I would be having a meeting with another investor and that meeting was today.That link works for me, I just added you! I think you have the perfect solution for my current setup, I've got a set of carbon fiber tubs made by Monolith, back when they were still around. I want a free-floating lug setup on my toms, and I think yours are brilliant!
I will be glad to make another video to show how this works.
