loose tension rods.

[Xianne]

I play the marching snare in the adv. band in my school and Ive noticed that after i play, the bottom tension rods tend to loosen up and they are tighened up pretty well. So does anyone know why this happends?:confused:

Use some vaseline or petroleum jelly on your rods. It'll hold them in place.

It used to happen to my high tom. You can buy a special blue paint that you blob on the thread then tighten it up. It holds it securely but when you turn it with a drum key the paint kinda flakes off. its un-noticeable and designed originally for aircraft screws.
