Yes,if you know drums,you can easily tell a Slingerland t-rod from a Ludwig.

Some are passionate about drums, some dig guitars, some like old toys, some like dead cats. We all have our passions. I'm sure that to some, my passion for Christ and my family is a bit odd. Much like what you experienced with the one incorrect tension piece, it is what it is. We don't have to understand each other. We certainly don't have to be tolerant. I've read the book cover to cover many times, and in no way shape or form does He desire this. So, what do we do when someone acts a fool about something like a drum? Ignore it the best you can and move on. That's really all there is to it. If a deal goes bad, you already have the best advice I can give, "Don't trust anyone". That's how all deals should go down. I've walked away from quite a few deals just because I didn't like the way it felt. It takes a lot to earn my trust (like most people) and I don't deal with just anyone. I've pulled eBay items because I didn't like the high bidder. I've given away drums rather than sell them for the same reasons. The key is keeping it all in perspective. if you love money, then you will get burned. Period. If you place value elsewhere, you lessen the chance of pain from losing money. We all walk the paths we walk. I've gotten ****ed off at some deals. I've lost my temper and done the slam the man because of some mooks bad ethics. But in the end ... it really doesn't matter. None of it does. So, I forget about it and move on. Life is too short to do otherwise.

Really? Show me the difference and I'm not talking about the bass drum t-rods.
