The invention is related to a drum rim system that has a drum rim that fits over the drumhead. A tensioning system tensions the drum rim. A ball and socket mechanism is used as a quick connector for the tensioning system. The tensioning system is a drum lug and a tension rod. In one embodiment, the drum lug has a socket, which engages a ball stud that is attached to the drum shell. The tension rods extend through holes in the drum rim and screw into the drum lugs. When tension rods are loosened it is easy to remove drum lugs because of the ball and socket connection. The ball and socket connection can take numerous other forms.
