I was tuning up my LP bongos when one of the lugs decide it was time to snap in half. I called around and found one at a drum shop 25 miles away, but at $4 /gal for gas, who wants to do that. I started looking on line and found them at Guitar Center for about $7 each plus shipping. I placed my order for 1 and after looking in the shopping cart I saw that they came up as a store clearance item for 1 cent a piece! Hey, I'm not stupid, so I ordered 4 of them. Then it said that they were shipping out of Kalamazoo (2 hours away) so I called immediately after finishing the order just to make sure they really had them. I got the drum manager on the phone and he said "yes, they are right here in front of me and my GM is grabbing them to ship in an order"! That was less than 10 minutes after I placed my order! Great deal, great service! Now I have 3 spares! Geez, I hope that was MY order... hmmm...
