Detail 01
9/16 in.
The size that has to match. Too short and it will not reach the lug; too long and it bottoms out before the head tightens.

DWDrum Screw 4-pack 9/16 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A four-pack of 9/16-inch DW drum screws. Replacement hardware for stripped, lost, or damaged tension rods on a DW kit.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing rods you stripped during a hard tuning session
- Carrying spares in a stick bag or hardware case for gigs
- Restoring a used DW drum missing a few pieces
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Re-hardwaring a whole drum — four is not enough for one shell
- Non-DW kits without checking thread pitch and length first
- Anyone whose tuning problem is actually a bad head or lug
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
4-pack
A spares quantity. Most snares and toms use six to ten rods per head, so this covers losses, not a full rebuild.
Detail 03
Drum screw, not a lug
This is the rod you turn with a key. The threaded receiver bolted to the shell is a separate part.
Detail 04
DW-spec hardware
Cut to fit DW lugs. On another brand, thread pitch and collar size may not match even if the length looks right.
Detail 05
$11.99 for four
Cheap insurance. A single stripped rod on a gig makes a drum untunable until it is replaced.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Pull an existing rod and measure it — length and thread must match exactly
- 02Washers are a separate part; reuse yours or check what arrives
- 03Four rods will not re-hardware a drum. Order multiples for a full set
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my drum?
They are cut to DW spec at 9/16 inch. Remove one of your existing rods and compare length and threads side by side before installing.
02How many do I need for one snare?
Count the lugs on your drum and double it for both heads. A typical snare needs eight to ten per side, so several packs for a full replacement.
03Do these come with washers?
Confirm the contents on arrival. If yours are in good shape, existing washers can be reused when you swap the rod.
04My drum will not hold tune — will new rods fix it?
Only if the threads are damaged or the rod is bent. Slipping tune more often comes from a worn head, a cracked bearing edge, or loose lug casings.
