I am glad people like the Ego parts, my company uses their lugs almost exclusively. They are extremely high quality and made in the USA. Tyler is also a good guy to do business with, he always makes things right and has been known to ship us replacement parts for free.

The bearing edges are very important for the overall tonal quality of the drum, if they aren't perfect, the membrane doesn't have perfect contact and it will be hard or impossible to tune. I'd agree with a previous poster and say that the species of wood isn't as important as the other parts. They will all sound fine as a snare.
