Hi These are called "Tension Bolts" and these are standard "Pearl" one's, easy to get in any drum shop, and also very cheap!

Cheers McGhee


Hey Ed ( I assume ? ),

I was trying to find a source for those myself. I had in mind to replace a few old ones that have become slightly corroded. I would think they would call these T-Handle Nuts although I've found nothing after Googling. I'd love to also know if there's a source for these.

Worse case scenario, a coupler nut ( elongated nut ) from a good local hardware store might do the trick as long as the outer hex diameter doesn't interfere. Then you would just need a wrench or nut driver to tighten the pad to the pipe. I just bought some of those ( metric too ! ) for my little moped.

The duct tape just isn't cutting it, Huh ? ; )

Let me know if any of you out there can hook a brother up with a tensioning bolt (?) for a SDS
7 pad. Perhaps that's not the correct term, but it's the chrome t-rod thingy that you use to
tighten the pad on the stand - one of those. If you've got a spare, I'm in the market - name
your price.
Thanks.
