Yeah. I kinda’ liked the allen bolts but they were no cheaper than buying tension rods and were black. The black is nice but I’d have to change to them on all my pads to have them match.
I was thinking about bass drum rods as well but the ones I found were a bit too long. Bottom line: they’re all good solutions!
BTW, Dobly: I found some threads on the 2Box Drumit modules and it sounds like they do not support using additional midi channels. So the Trigger I/O will not provide more inputs. :-(
