Need to find Extra Long Kick Drum bolts

Mike Douaire · 4th November 2009

So my drummer bought the DDrum trigger kit for his drum kit. We started to hook them up, but his Tama kick drum's hoop doesn't seem like it's made to work with the DDrum kick trigger.

Anyway, I know I can build a trigger using a piezo dealio from radioshack, but I'd rather utilize the DDrum trigger that he already bought. My first thoughts were just to find an extra long kick drum bolt and some spacers to retro fit in the trigger.

Does anyone know where to buy an extra long bolt like that? I looked for a while but couldn't seem to find anything but the standard sized drum bolts/hardware. Need it EXTRA long to make everything fit correctly.

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated too!

Thanks guys!

did you check drummaker.com?

Awesome, great start. I haven't taken measurements on how long I need them, but I believe the Starclassic tension rods for the kick drum are 86mm. I'll have to check how long I need the new one, but this is great!

Thanks so much!

no problem that's where I try to go first whenever I need parts they carry more than anyone locally (well Columbus Pro Percussion has a lot of stuff too) but drummaker is typically cheaper (well as long as I'm getting a lot of stuff).

Glad to be of assistance though.
