so i was wondering how he got those white lugs on his tom, i think they look really cool, and if anyone knows where i could purchase some?..
It looks like that guy is playing a ddrum kit, which is the only company I know of that makes white lugs. You could probably order some from there. Some of their sets are on musiciansfriend.com

ahhh thats what i thought too, but i wasnt really sure..
are those quality sets?..i seen them at my local music store, they look nice..but the name doesnt sound to be so well known i guess...what do you think?
I've never played one, but from what it seems theyre mostly beginner sets. Theyre made out of basswood, so theyre not the greatest. They get a lot of mixed reviews, but for the most part they say good kit for the money. If you just get the lugs though I wouldn't be too worried about wasting your money.
They look like they have been painted in possible epoxy enamel.( could be wrong ) Looks like crap IMO. Powder coating works much better or go for electroplating or anodizing.
The process you are looking for is called Powder Coating. I just called a company in Illinois that does all kinds of powder coating jobs, including a custom drum maker in the East. The Company is called Powder Perfect Inc. Contact Jim @ 1-815-228-2011 or Kevin @ 1-815-442-3498. There are many other powder coaters on the internet. I gave you this site because they have been at it for a while & are putting out a quality product. Apparently you have to know how to treat the metal properly to make sure the powder coating does not flake off.
Those DDRUM sets aren't that bad I played one at the Guitar Center by where I live and they sound decent, not great, just decent. It really seems like the only thing special about them would be the color schemes on the sets. More for showing off a cool colored set then putting on a show.
I work with powder coated fencing materials. That stuff scratches off all the time. Most people I know who bought the black hardware exports have regreted it saying they scratch very easy.
dude just DIY!!! it's simple realy. all it takes is some thick primer or undercoat (sand til smooth) then 3 or more coats of your favorite color spraypaint. i recomend either duplicolor or krylon anything else wont sustain the normal wear and tear. that formula minus the primer plus a clear coat (spray can also) is what i painted my snare with.
