English Other Music drums
Mapex fit their ***ancient-Leedy-looking*** lugs to all Meridians and they appear to be mounted somewhere near the nodal point (ie the position where it would have the least adverse affect on the resonance). Naturally they have square-headed tension screws with nylon washers.

Would someone please clarify for me what the phrase refers to? I can’t understand it.
It’s about Mapex drumkits (Mapex Meridian models).

lugs that are made to look like the old-style "Leedy" drums

"Leedy" is a brand name for drums. http://www.leedydrums.com/
Let me change the order of the sentence for you and see if it helps:
Mappex fit their lugs, which look like the old style "Leedy" ones, to all Meridians...
