Congrats! Same happened to me recently. Just got done putting in 2 hours. Your gonna love it!Wife and I bought a house with a great media room/basement so I can play my drums again. It's been a few years. So that's my latest purchase.![]()
Don't know if you ebay but they have some listed.Just received 3 packs of these odd sized slotted tension rods for my vintage Sonor snare. The Sweetwater parts department was extremely helpful in finding these for me. Never knew how hard it could be to find 1/4"x46mm, slotted, course-threaded rods. Now for a matching drum key...

Reverb is another good source for hard to find hardware. I was able to acquire an entire set (16) very clean Premier lugs to replace the dodgy mismatched ones on the snare that came w the XPKs.Don't know if you ebay but they have some listed.

Guitar Center regularly puts these on sale in a 2-pack for about the same price iirc.Just saw on CL (4) PDP 800 straight cymbal stands for $25 each(!?!?!)
Worth it??????
I was talking about the slotted key. Didn't see one anywhere else.I tried the Ebay route twice but both times I was sent either the wrong length (too long) or the wrong thread count (too fine). I also didn't necessarily want used rods. I have a full set of rods in the snare already but they are all mismatched and/or bent which make tuning a nightmare. I'd rather pay a little more for a full set that has the correct dimensions and run straight. That said I love ebay and have spent more money there than what I've admitted to my wife.
Good to know. I prefer new if I can. I will check them out, I might need a couple.Guitar Center regularly puts these on sale in a 2-pack for about the same price iirc.
Ah, I see. Well I managed to find some keys on sale for like $7 on Drum Center of Portsmouth’s eBay store. Hoping for it to get here by the end of the week.I was talking about the slotted key. Didn't see one anywhere else.
