Nice Job on the new glossary page Walking - very cool!

Something in the drum parts that I need clarified is regarding tension rods.

Is the term t-rods exclusive to bass drum T shaped tension rods, or is it a general shortening of "tension rods"? Also, I'm trying to force myself to differentiate "key rods" (k-rods?) and T-rods (non-key rods) in my post usage; Is this a silly question?

Don't mind me, I just used the word "Nomenclature" in a general topic post - As I learn this stuff, I wanna get it right.

btw is hot drumming "nuclear" or "nucular" ? Cooked Egg

That's a great question. I always presumed it was the "T" shape.

I always thought t-rod was short for any tension rod.

If insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, is it insane to practice?

For me, it was "lug screw" that was the general term, but "T"-rods were specifically the ones on bass drums that had the "T" handle. But, I honestly never thought about it until now.Burger Kin

Ah-Ha!

So at the heart of my tension rod question, there are really just key-rods & T-rods - k-rods & t-rods - that should make defining (and clarifying) the term EZr ~ Dig That! :cool:
