I am in the process of restoring a late 60s/early 70s Premier 22x14 bass drum. I did not take careful inventory of the hardware as I was removing it, and now I find that there appear to be some tension rods that are too short when I am trying to but the hoops and heads back on.
Are there different length rods for the beater side as opposed to the resonant side of the drum?
Some rods seem to be 1/8" to short.
Any tips appreciated.
