Detail 01
Nylon instead of metal
Softer contact under the rod head, so tuning turns feel smoother and the hoop finish takes less scarring.

TAMANylon Washers 20 Pack
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 20-pack of nylon tension rod washers for drums. For anyone retuning kits or replacing worn, missing, or metal washers on lugs.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Refreshing a used kit where original washers are lost
- Drummers who detune and retune heads often
- Keeping spares in the stick bag or hardware case
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing washers for hardware bolts rather than tension rods
- Players who want metal washers for maximum rod stability
- Anyone unsure their rods take standard-size washers
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
20 in the pack
Covers a full snare and a rack tom, or spreads spares across a whole kit over time.
Detail 03
$7.99 for the set
Cheap enough to replace every washer on a drum at once rather than chasing individual bad ones.
Detail 04
TAMA-made
Sized around TAMA lug and rod hardware, which is the safest fit if you already play a TAMA kit.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Count your rods per drum first — a kit can need 40 or more
- 02Measure an existing washer against these before ordering for a non-TAMA kit
- 03Washers only. No tension rods, lugs, or drum key
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many drums will 20 washers cover?
Depends on lug count. A typical 8-lug snare takes 16 for both heads; a 6-lug tom takes 12. Twenty covers roughly one drum, top and bottom.
02Do nylon washers change the drum's sound?
Not meaningfully. They sit under the tension rod head, outside the shell and head. The audible effect is indirect — smoother tuning tends to mean more even head tension.
03Will these fit a non-TAMA kit?
Often, since tension rod sizes are fairly standard, but there's no guarantee. Compare one of your current washers to the dimensions before buying.
04Do I need a special tool to install them?
No. A drum key to back off the tension rods is enough. Slip the washer over the rod before threading it back into the lug.
