Yeah, the lugs are amazing. How do you like it so far?
Wow! A SPAZ badge! Very cool! I'm also interested to see how those lugs work.

That drum looks amazing!
Looks like a quick release mechanism.
I was guessing it was a quick rim release, but man it looks like it could be a real chore tuning it. Or are the tensioners accessible somehow we can't see. Allen wrench? Are the rims special too? I know......... stay tuned.
Fascinating looking stuff going on with this company . I came across this video on MANIC's website which demonstrates the lugs in combination with their own hoop - quick tuning on the fly as well as very quick head changes:

Yup... I'm also working on a deal for a full drumset but might be a little bit as the pricing is well.. not cheap. But how awesome is that tuning ability?!
You can quickly change anything and everything on the fly. . . And fine tune through the quick release with a regular drum key.
I can see the std tuning rods now in the pic BFD supplied and how the system works. Pretty neat in a way. My only worry would be how they hold up over time and use with all those moving parts, hinge points, pins and plates etc. It seems as though the tension should hold everything tight and hopefully avoid rattles.
Gorgeous snare.
AMAZING!!!! After years of R&D, they have managed to come up with drums that sound just like the drums of old at probably 5X to 10X the price.
The other "trick" stuff is about as necessary as................................................ .............................(pick your analogy).
My 'Stang has a digital readout that will tell me my tires air pressure to my 0-60 times and a sensor that will automatically roll up my windows if the guy in the car in front of me farts.
When they come up with drums that when hit, sound like Jennifer Lawrence whispering sweet nothings in my ear, tell them to give me a call.

Drum is finished and ready for shipping!
You see no value in being able to switch heads in about 27 seconds... all tuned and ready to play? I don't need one but it's a cool idea.

My only fear would be getting things caught on the flip levers. I had a hard time with my old DW snare with the mag release strainer because of that. You’ll just have to be extra careful when handling and packing it.

Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
Snare drum looking like an old person walker with tennis balls on it! hahahahahaha
Reminds me of those old raincoats with the flip over clasps.
I guess you could take off a head and stuff it with pimentos if you don't like it
