Boom Alley Drums® composite lugs
Boom Alley Drums® composite lugs are standard on all tom- toms, floor toms and bass drums built by Boom Alley Drums®. This sleek lug design utilizes a pivoting aluminum tension barrel housed in a high strength composite lug body which retains the vibration qualities unique to each drum shell. The lugs minimal weight and functional design maximizes the feel, tone, and dynamics of each drum.

Boom Alley Drums® - Keller VSS™ Shells
Boom Alley Drums® has primarily used Keller® maple shells for most, but not all custom sets. Keller VSS™ shells and quality control are unparalleled in the industry. Tom shell thicknesses are chosen for vibrational properties, grain similarities, and veneer appearance. The shells are then machined with bearing edges complimenting drumhead collars to maintain proper head seating and vibration. Shells are then finished in a custom lacquer finish or specified covering.
Shell specifications are as follows:
• Snare drum shells are 10 ply-5/16ths inch thick (with 10 ply r-rings) . The sturdiness of this shell provides great attack without sacrificing warmth and sensitivity. Contrary to currently accepted thought, our research and customer feedback indicates that todays professional player prefers snare shells to vibrate as little as possible to decrease snare buzz.
• Tom shells are 6 ply - 3/16ths inch thick. • No R-Rings (this re-enforcement is detrimental to the overall vibration, dynamics and sound of the drum.)
• Bass Drum shells are 8 ply -1/4 inch thick. • No R-Rings
• Bass Drum Counter Hoops are 10 ply – 5 /16th’s inch thick.
• Available in a variety of woods: curly maple, solid oak, birch, basswood ect.. |

Finishes
Boom Alley Drums® offers many various solid and fade finishes in custom colors. Our lacquer finishes come in either a matt or gloss sheen. I recommend the matt finish to customers because it provides low reflection (great for taking pictures) and minimal smear detection (user friendly).

New E-Z Nub™
Boom Alley Drums® E-Z nubs™ are an industry first! The design makes head changes possibly the fastest and easiest since the inception of the drum claw. They are a standard component on all bass drums.
BoomAlleyDrums-EZnubs advantages:
• Head changes are attainable in the playing position.
• Eliminates removal of tension rods from the lugs to remove hoop and head.
• Re-assembly of claws and tension rods on the drum hoop are eliminated.
• Drastic overall weight reduction.
