Replacement - Rusty screws inside the drums... :(

[powerpuffpapa]

Hi people,

I need to maintain a Tama Custom Rockstar Drumset. The outer condition is not too bad. But I realised that all the screws inside the drum kits are rusty. Can I get it form any hardware shop or must I go back to Tama? I try search on-line for those screws but can't really find anything... Anybody know where I can buy those screws?

You may be able to find a match in hardware shops. Just bring a sample piece along to match it with.

Plan A...

I guess I'll try that out at those hardware shop around my area...

I actually found one "on-line store" which sell lug screws yesterday night or this early morning. It is selling them at abt US$5 per 12 set (screws + washers). I think I need abt 10pack to replace whole drumset. So it will cost about US$75 for me to buy and ship them over!!! haha... xiong!!!

And the other thing is - are all brands of drums use the same dimension of lug screw? Anyone can answer this? If yes then I might be ordering them on-line, if not I might just buy 1 pack first...

Wait, are you talking about screws or tension rods?

Screws! Yes! The thing to hold the lug from inside the drum like what's in your first picture.
The tension rod can be found easily from some on-line music store. (And local shop too...) But don't think we can get them from hardware shop...

I had try asking from the local distributor, but they give me answer "Don't know" for both question when I ask them about the price and the availablity...
I knew about the thread and size thing. I not so concern about the screw head, cos it just a matter of screwing it. But the thread size and screw length is very important. BTW, I had order them from DrumMaker. The only thing is they don't come with the bigger washer...
So, I guess I still have to get them from hardware store... which is not too difficult I think. Thanks anyway.
