This is a bummer

As i was laying down a track yesterday, in the middle of a song well my "Snare Switch" broke. The snare switch that i'm refering to is the switch that turns your snare on/off. My snare is a regular Tama Steel snare and was wondering has this ever happen to any of you guys/gals before? Another question is that do i have to buy that switch directly from the company or any other place? i've tried e-bay, and googled it but im not really sure what the on/off switch is called? :confused:

advice anybody

It's called a "Strainer" or a "Throw off". I *think* musiciansfriend.com sells Tama ones, but I could be wrong.

It is called a throw off, thats what I call it but it can be called a strainer.

Theyre only a few quid

EDIT - Ming a ling, I thought you said you thught it was a strainer or throw off, then I relaized you said it was. Sorry
