T handle rods
Hi people , can someone tell me the correct dimensions for the Bass drum T rods? Did rogers vary the size of the bow tie part over the B & B era? The kit (62 Holiday), has a bit of a mixture. I believe the majority are correct, but if there are variations possible, it would be good to know.
I have put the kit together at present with modern sq head t rods as I was impatient to get it playable. It sounds great, as you would expect.

Re: T handle rods
Holidays take 4 5/8" rod length. The "bowties" are all the same.

Re: T handle rods
thanks for that, i guess the majority are correct. But 5 are different shaped bowties, slightly longer and slightly skinnier. If that makes sense. The overall length is the same. I will find somemore on ebay. But thought I should make sure there were no variations to be aware of. The slightly different ones could be be from another manufacturer, similar era.

Re: T handle rods
Yes, there were sight differences in the Bowtie handles. I believe the 'skinnier' units are earlier.

Re: T handle rods
Thanks Dan , that might explain why they look the same but different. I'll measure them accurately next week. I wonder when they transitioned?
