Sonor Teardrop question

Are these Sonor Floor tom legs?

Both of my teardrop sets have straight legs, without any knurling.

Just asked that question myself elsewhere. 8mm rod with 6mm threaded end, 60cm length. Basically 5/16" x 24"

Thank you!

I don't think so. Teardrop ran to 72 or 73 and could have Champion legs and those aint it.

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!

I didn't notice any in the rack or floor tom when I put some new heads on them. I will look more carefully when I break the drums down to polish them. The rack has coated on both sides. The floor has a clear head on the reso and I can't see anything other than some sort of red hand written stuff that I can't make discern what it says. The lighting was not good where I was tinkering with them.

I did notice the floor tom has a round muffler and the rack had a muffler with 2 felts on it.

I needed to find some mufflers for a set I bought recently. The round mufflers seems set for the toms. The dual pad seemed for the snare. Not absolute, but based on info I did come across.

FYI - If you do not find a chrome rod (I have not) for the bass drum cymbal rod, I will be using a 5/16" stainless rod from hardware store. Local store had one when Home Depot did not. Also on Amazon if desperate. Found 3' rod and cut to length, though might find a 2' in some places.

Pics of the kit can narrow it down.

Here are pictures from the seller. I have not taken any yet myself. I've only given them a cursory Windex cleaning and put on some used heads I had laying around.

I plan to polish up the chrome once I get a chance.

The tom mount is not original. I have been looking for a reasonably priced one, but need to see if the current one has left a mark / indention in the wrap, before I spend money replacing it. I assume it will probably look better to leave the current one.

Has anyone had luck fixing bubbled wrap? I have read where some people have heated the area with a hair dryer to try and soften the glue underneath to get it to re-stick. I assume I would need to leave it clamped for a while, but am not too hopeful that is really a viable long term solution.
