I love these @tunerfishluglocks! Though popularly used for snares, I hit my toms really hard, and the lugs tend to come undone. So I finally got try these "lug locks" at practice last night, and they held by tuning amazingly well! Very impressed! 🥁🙌 👑 🍻 🤯 ⚒️ 👏 ❤️ #drums #drumming #drummer #drummers #ilovedrums #jonpienkowski #jepienkowski #jep #pdp #pdpdrums #remoheads #gibraltarhardware #tunerfishluglocks #luglocks #lugs #drumlugs #tunerfish #drumtuning (at Vancouver, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3f4jwIJPjN/?igshid=xab9hdvyb0k2

Absolute game changer! Put some @tunerfishluglocks on your snare drum and say goodbye to retuning after every song! Love ‘em ❤️ . . #drums #drummer #luglocks (at Rebel-Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPSyWD2LGhk/?utm_medium=tumblr

In Appreciation of Tuner Fish Lug Locks

It is usually the case that the best new innovations in the world of drumming come from drummers themselves. In the case of Tuner Fish Lug Locks, Skunk Anansie's Mark Richardson in collaboration with Mark Bigwood and Ian Aguado-Bush have tapped into a need which I think every drummer who plays regularly will relate to.

Whether in the studio or on the stage, if you hit hard, and in a particular a spot near a lug, for example rimshots, they are prone to detuning.

The Tuner Fish Lug Locks serve as a handy solution to this issue and could not be more easy to use. Fitting them is easy. The lock is a fish shaped attachment with a star shaped cavity that fits over the tuning rod, so that the “tail” rests against the hoop, locking it in place. 

I was kindly sent some Tuner Fish secure bands and they provide the extra security you need allowing you to wrap the band around the rod and in turn onto the lug ensuring that they stay on. 

I tried a combination of between two or four lug locks on my snare drum as well as a couple each on a rack and floor tom (on my four piece setup). In all cases, I put the Lug Locks nearest to where my stick comes down and strikes the drum as this is where I have commonly had the most issues with detuning.

Of course, you can put them around every lug, top and bottom, of every drum if you so desire, but I have found that just the small number of Tuner Fish I have at my disposal is so invaluable to my drumming. 

Since attaching the Tuner Fish Lug Locks, I have had many hours of fantastic usage with them and have not needed to retune. The Tuner Fish are available in a variety of colours. I went for the Hot Pink Sparkle variety matched with suitable secure bands. 

I'm looking forward to using them in a recording session over the next few days. Having rehearsed and gigged with them, their durable polycarbonate construction is standing up to my hard hitting. I'm also looking forward to purchasing some more so that I can add more to my other toms for my larger setup.

The online 'noise' that the Tuner Fish Lug Locks are getting is indicative of what a fantastic, affordable and essential product they are. If you're serious about your drumming and keeping your drums sounding great for longer, my advice to you is to get some and put them on your drums. You will start reaping the rewards immediately.

Big thanks to Mark, Ian and all at Tuner Fish Lug Locks for making such a brilliant product.

Please check out my YouTube Channel at www.youtube.com/ninjadrummist Playing some Jazz on my new Meinl Byzance Vintage Pure Ride. Really pleased with this cymbal and it seems to respond to everything I want it to do. That's all my old cymbals replaced now with beautiful Meinl instruments!

Thought I'd see how well this 14" @bigfatsnaredrum records and I ended up channelling my inner Clyde Stubblefield (James Brown's drummer and a huge influence of mine who sadly passed away recently). I was surprised how much it bought the pitch of my snare down as you'll notice I usually prefer high tunings for my main snare. I think I'd probably need to tune to a more medium pitch to really get that fat 70's sound. It doesn't really get in the way of the response of the drum at all and felt like playing my regular high tuned snare, but with a deeper, more controlled pitch and sustain. Can't wait to try it on a gig!

Please check out the full video at www.youtube.com/ninjadrummist A quick breakdown of this chop I came up with a few months ago. It's a Paradiddle that starts on the last 16th note of the bar before. This creates a left handed Inverted Paradiddle that I'm moving between the Snare, Hi Hats and Floor Tom. Here's the sticking pattern: (R) L-R-R-L R-L-L-R L-R-R-L R-L-L-R Hope I slowed it down enough for you all! This is the second of many lessons I'll be uploading in the future!

Please check out the full video at www.youtube.com/ninjadrummist Here's another clip from my drum cover video of "Have You Ever" by @4everbrandy. Thought it was time I posted a ballad as most of the songs I've covered so far are a medium to fast tempo. I find songs like this can be tricky to play along to as there is a lot of space and you can explore the full dynamic range of your playing!
