You should look on the Italian Ebay site. There is a portal at the bottom of the Ebay main page that will take you to various countries, including Italy. You can type in Meazzi and see what that brings up, or just look under percussion - not easy to get to if you don't understand the language - and see what you find under either Meazzi or Hollywood there. Far more possibilities there than an Ebay here.

DW makes T-rods that will work!

Call Columbus Percussion..........ask for Joel...........he had some.............

Tell em Blair sent ya!

there were some Meazzi t-rods(slot type) on ebay.de recently. the were listed as Meazzi/Trixon rods , I guess because they used the same thread----which is

5 mm .8 tpm.----- in the case of Trixon anyway. i will look and see if the listing is still in my history. alternately, it may still show in completed listings or there are Trixon rods available more frequently everywhere as well as on Ingo Winterburg's Trixon website. I just pulled a rod from my Wooding snare drum(the same drum came out as a Meazzi) with the hex t-rods and it is the same 5mm .8tpm. the length is 55mm from bottom of the head to tip. Trixon had 8 different rod types. The earlier it was made the longer . Some may not work but the older tom rods(1950's) are exactly the same length. The Wooding rod , that I used as a comparison came off of a 5 x14 8 double sided lug drum.

here is the auction---looks like they are gone but the seller originally had two sets. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&item=150578510808&si=dXkeIBnv%252B%252FXzLFaLX%252FZWPUsrMSk%253D&viewitem=
