Description
Time-tested DW True-Pitch Tuning technology has been around for years. The added thread count gives drummers an expanded tuning range and the advancement has been adopted industry-wide. As DW's team of craftsmen and designers have continued to improve upon bearing edge cutting techniques, counterhoop consistency, and overall shell making, the time has come for even more control over tuning.

At fifty threads per inch, these upgraded stainless steel tension rods provide ultra-smooth fine tuning, allowing for less back-out. Offered on all DW Custom Shop and Eco-X Project drums, True Pitch 50 rods and receivers can also be purchased aftermarket to retrofit any set featuring an original-sized DW turret lug.

    I bought this product to replace the tension rods of the batter heads on the two rack toms on my Pearl Roadshow they would detune slower. And they do their job. If you're in a case like mine when buying these, I recommend checking the lugs on the drums that have the tension rods you're replacing, make sure to check and make sure there's a spot in the thing that holds the swivel nuts in for the tension rod to go through because these are long tension rods that could bottom out. The packaging is a bit hard to open, but doesn't matter.

    Do these rods come with the inserts as pictured? I purchased some DW tension rods at your Fairview Heights store today Part# DwSM165C. The packaging does not say what the pitch is on the threads? Can you tell me if these are indeed True Pitch Rods I purchased?
