Do you mean lug mounting screws? Specifics needed here!

The metal screws that fasten the lugs to the metal drum shell........

clear enough? :-)

Seems clear enough ... now

Most likely, if your lugs are the pressed brass 'bread'n'butter style lugs, your attachment hardware will be a slot-head 10-24" gauge U.S. standard thread screw, with lock washer and flat washer underneath. Exact length of screw I can't recall off hand. Same basic screw as used on Camco turret lugs.

If lug style is the "beavertail" model, they normally accept an 8-32" gauge U.S. standard thread screw, identical or similar to those used by 60s/70s Ludwig, Slingerland, and Gretsch drum lugs. Many mid-60's & later vintage Rogers drums use a hex head 8-32" gauge 'cutter screw" (with a cut-away wedge shaped recess on the tip) as a cost-efficient construction method in which the lugs are cast without internal threading, and a power driven 'cutter screw' simultaneously cuts the threading and securely fastens the lug to the shell.

[tip to the wise] ...Once a cutter screw has been removed it's best to 'correct' the internal threads which it left using a quality tap. This (time consuming) process will allow you to 'shake out' or remove with a Q-tip any loose bits of cut chips from the lug casting's threads while assuring you that the lug threads are neither stripped nor damaged when you are ready to reassemble your drum.

I highly recommend this additional step whether or not you intend to reuse the original cutter screws, because original cutter screws, when reused to reassemble, will often misalign with the original threads they created, and damage the lugs. This is because over time the internal threading becomes deformed from stress or 'burred' from tiny bits of remaining cut metal chips. Matching dies can as well be used to 'correct' the cutter tip screws themselves, but with far less effectiveness and a very high risk of damage to both die & cutter screw.

Good luck on your project!

p.s. - one final word -- I have found that nothing ever shocks or surprises me any more when restoring vintage drums, regardless of make/year/country of origin, especially in regards to thinking that 'all such drums from a given make and year use x....or y.... size thread screws, etc... Whenever I think I've learned all there is to know, another model and size from the same year and company arrives using screws or methods never before encountered! I learn something new everyday about old drums -- which makes restoring and playing them all the more enjoyable!
