How do y'all keep sticks on your bass drum?

[eric_B]

For my home studio I spray painted a piece of PVC pipe and attached it with 2 tie wraps.
For gigs I'm using a promark holder which you can clip onto a stand.

Full length lugs.
Wisdom of the ancients.

Evans, and maybe someone else also, makes a magnetic key that solves this.

Only if you have steel lugs...

on a wood drum yeah ok!

I was replying to this:

Key on the Knee, I hate the way they vibrate when left on a lug

Pete, what's that got to do with a wood drum shell? Yammie, you mean "only if you have steel tension rods", right?

(Are tension rods ever made from something other than steel...?)

He said "lugs", old bean.

He sure did. I guess we need Pete to confirm, but it sounds like he's referring to a key sitting on a lug's tension rod, as some are wont to do, and rattling with the drum's vibration.



Who has kept a key on an actual lug, and how?

And - who has kept one on a KNEE and how? Cyanoacrylate adhesive perhaps?

Wood Snare brass lugs, where do I put the magnetic key? Key on the Knee of the said drummers suit similar to the Gretsch key holder , easy to grab and not drop or lose. just silly ideas guys..Gretsch has the snap on key holder but I'd rather have it in an easy to reach spot.

Same people and method of keeping sticks in a quiver on one's back, I suppose.

On a lug's tension rod, as pictured in my previous post. (That key shown isn't a magnetic one.) The magnet inside the opening solves the vibration problem.

Sorry for being silly, I'll try to be more serious .. you are waaaay cool!
