Detail 01
2 in. (52 mm) length
Length must match your lug depth. Too short will not catch threads; too long bottoms out inside the lug.

Sound Percussion LabsTension Rods 6-Pack 2 in. (52 mm)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Six 2 in. tension rods for drum hoops. A replacement part for stripped, bent, or missing rods on toms and snares.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing rods stripped from over-tightening
- Restoring a used kit with mismatched hardware
- Carrying spares to gigs where a rod can drop out
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drums that need a different rod length than 2 in.
- Anyone needing washers or claw hooks as well
- Bass drum hoops, which usually take longer rods
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 six-lug drum, or half of a twelve-lug snare. Count your lugs before ordering.
Detail 03
Tension rod
Threads through the hoop into the lug and sets head tension. Every one on a drum should be the same length.
Detail 04
Standard thread
Fits common lug threading, but thread pitch varies between makers, so a test fit matters.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure an existing rod before ordering — length and thread must match
- 02Washers are not included; reuse the ones on your drum
- 03Six rods covers one six-lug drum, not a full kit
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I measure the right length?
Pull one rod off your drum and measure the threaded shaft from under the head of the rod to the tip. Match that to 2 in.
02Will these fit any drum?
Not any drum. Thread pitch and length vary between manufacturers. Compare an existing rod against these before ordering.
03Do these include washers?
No. These are the rods only. Keep the washers from your existing rods, since a rod without one will chew into the hoop.
04How many do I need?
One per lug. Count the lugs on the drum you are working on — a six-lug tom needs six, a ten-lug snare needs ten.
