I might just have the 6 extra long rods you need. One of my MIJ drums had center lugs, but that is one I am converting into a 20" floor tom. How long...

This was gifted to me roughly ten years ago. The wrap had been painted and the strainer handle was long gone. Gave it a nice Green Lacquer. New heads,...
