drum hostage

hey!
so I'm messing about with a meinl handbale
I just want to see how versatile I can make it - just for funsies (just a micro hobby mod project - I alwasy wind up learning something when I do some project. I'd build a battlebot but I'd win too much and I promised I wouldn't make my fellow geeks cry)
the other half, if I can make it get a few decent sounds it might make a nice campfire drum to accompany everyone who brings an acoustic guitar or uke (not enough kazoo as far as I'm concerned and [French] horn...ahhh, the warm summer evenings of my childhood singling along to horn) or other hootenannie-type conditions - It's inexpensive, with a fairly burly steel shell and shallow so it could pack OK
I put a fiberskyn ambassador on it and that seems nice for brushes (which the wife can play...and I can make noises with)
but I digress, I'd like to put a half snare on it (the handbale is single head)
I was hoping to maybe find replacement units (the whole mechanism, not just the wires) for tama or meinl effects snares...something that is at last TRYING to be real (doesn't LP make one too)
having a little trouble finding sources.
thoughts?
