Slotted Rod "Quick Change" Drill-Bit Drumkey

TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK- send a note via the &quot;contact&quot; form and you&#39;ll get first dibs when I machine the next batch! <br><br>Note: this part fits SLOTTED German-style tension rods, not square-headed standard rods like those used on Latos (and most manufacturers&#39;) drums.<br><br>Hand-machined, these are designed to speed head changes up significantly, and are made out of stainless steel, brass, copper for a lifetime of service.<br><br>These feature a 3/8&quot; round shaft to reduce the risk of an unexpected jam of some sort damaging a lug, insert, or tension rod: in event of binding, the round shaft is more likely to spin in the drill&#39;s chuck than a hex shaft. Of course, always set your drill&#39;s clutch to its lowest setting for a little extra insurance. <br><br>These fit 1960s vintage through modern slotted rods, including:<br>Teardrop, Champion / Super Champion, Phonic, Lite, Signature, Designer, etc<br><br>Left to right: <br>stainless/stainless<br>brass/stainless<br>copper/stainless (limited run)<br><br>NOTE: these are a product of Latos Drums, in no way associated with SONOR, other than the fact that I appreciate their craftsmanship. &quot;Sonor&quot; and &quot;Sonor Drums&quot; are registered trademarks of Sonor GmbH &amp; Co.

M8 to 1/4-20 Cymbal Thread Adapter

As included with Zildjian&#39;s 400th Anniversary Vault Cymbals: https://zildjian.com/pages/400th-anniversary-vault-cymbals<br><br>Many old cymbals have smaller cymbal holes that won’t fit a modern cymbal stand. And some players feel that even modern cymbals benefit from the freer breathing movement of the smaller rod size on older stands.<br><br>Here’s my answer. This adapter screws onto the top of a modern M8 stand, and gives you a 1/4&quot;-20 thread, just like older American-made stands. <br><br>A couple of these in your bag, and your old cymbals work with any modern cymbal stand that comes your way... or enjoy the practicality of a heavy modern stand with the thread size of an old stand… OR just have a quick, convenient solution when the backline is missing felt+sleeves. 


<br><br>Handcrafted in the Latos Drums workshop with:<br><br>+Solid brass or stainless body that will patina and age gracefully<br>+Long-life sleeve<br>+1/4-20 threaded post is unthreaded in cymbal area for extra strength and safety: even if you wear through the sleeve, cymbal won&#39;t be rubbing on thread!<br>+Vintage-pattern wingnut<br>+NEW: Vintage-style cupped washers, custom-made of long-life stainless steel to Latos&#39; specifications
