1-5/8 in. / 35 mm length
Length must match your lug depth. Too short will not catch threads, too long can bottom out inside the 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
6-pack
Covers one small tom or half a snare. Larger drums with eight or ten lugs need more than one pack.
Detail 03
Tension rod only
Washers and lugs are separate. Reuse the washers off your old rods or buy them alongside.
Detail 04
Sound Percussion Labs
Budget drum hardware. Function over finish, so plating may not match higher-end kit hardware exactly.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure an existing rod first; thread pitch and length vary between drum brands
- 02Washers are not included, and running rods without them chews the hoop
- 03A drum key is needed and is not part of the pack
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my drums?
Only if your lugs use the same thread pitch and the 1-5/8 in. length reaches. Pull one rod from your drum and compare it directly before ordering.
02How many rods does one drum use?
Depends on lug count per head. A small tom often uses five or six per side, a snare eight or ten. Count your lugs and order accordingly.
03Do I need washers?
Yes. A washer sits between the rod head and the hoop so the rod turns freely without gouging the hoop. Reuse your old ones or buy new ones.
04Why did my old tension rod strip?
Usually over-tightening, cross-threading when starting the rod by hand, or dry threads. Start every rod by hand and add a little lug lubricant when reassembling.
