Bass Drum: Broken Leg

[doublestrokesg]

Hey guys, I need some help regarding repairs etc. Due to the wear and tear effects of setting/packing up the kit week in and out for the last 8-10 years or so, one of the legs that supports the BD of this stage custom has come off.

My guess is that the screw threads have either worn off or the screw itself was broken internally.

Would appreciate it if suggestions could be made as to how to go about replacing it.

Thanks So much!

Remove the screw, take the nut to your nearest hardware store and buy a stainless steel screw of the same size.

Got pics of the damage?

Hey, didn't take pics, but I just checked it, and indeed the screw was broken internally... So basically it's impossible to tighten the left leg of the BD as part of the broken screw is still stuck inside.

Does Yamaha sell parts like tt?

You might as well take out the heads and remove the damaged screw.
Then get another screw of the same thread and internal diameter.

It's A LOT cheaper this way.
