Anyone know where I can get custom-threaded t-rods made ?

Posts: 2628 Threads: 40

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Hey, All. Happy New Year.

I just rec'd a vintage Italian Meazzi Hollywood snare drum in the mail today...I had won it on eFlay a few weeks back. She's in pretty good shape, but is missing a few t-rods.

Of course, the threads on these rods (Italian, probably mid-late-60's) don't match up with ANY other rods I have. They aren't the same thread as contemporary standard replacements, nore are they the same metric threads as the kind used on '60's-70's Japanese kits. :(

Ack...I CAN rethread the lug if worse comes to sorse....OR I can maybe just find a machine screw which matches the threading and have a few of the rods just be machine screws.....

But...that's kinda half-#assed....so I am considering having a whole set of replacements/repros made.

It'd be nice to be able to play this...after I am done restoring...y'know ? ;)[/COLOR]

Have you tried Sonor rods?

There's actually an Italian drum forum - see link below. You can probably fumble your way through registration - then post a request. You'll probably get quite a lot of response just because it's in English.

That's pretty cool, here is a link to an online translator that does English to Italian.

Thanks, Antonio ![/COLOR]
