Sorry, I'm not familiar with that strainer. Can't help you there.

I think that's a Dunnett strainer on The Chief snare. Have never used one of those. So I'm not sure on the bolt pattern.

jeebee,

Maybe some of the parts are getting a bit worn which is why the strainer is losing tension. I've attached a picture of the P-85 from the Ludwig parts catalog that may help you troubleshoot a bad part and order a replacement.

Ok, I will try the P86.The problem I have with the P85 is that the snare tension loosens when I play it for 5 minutes. I'm kind of a snare drum freak, especially with my solo's! So that's a problem.I use a Ludwig x thin on the snare side, I don't think I'm a heavy hitter and I tension my snare wires just enough to get "loose-tight" sensitivety (the snare drum still has to 'breath').Does the P86 loose his tension when played for 5-10 minutes (non stop soloing)?

jeebee,i`m also having this same snare tension loosening on my p-85 strainer which came with my 1980 Black Beauty snare when i play for about 10 mins. I have to keep adjusting/tighten the strainer tension knob to bring the snares back up to kiss the reso head after playing a few songs and this happens even when playing lightly.The butt end of mine seems to be fine with no stripped screw heads and i use the standard reef knot on the strainer side tensioner which shoudln`t slip.Interesting thread as i thought i was the only one having this problem.Looks like we`re both in the same boat here and if anyone can shead further light on our predicament please do so...Anyone else out there having this problem with the p-85 slippage?Frustrating to say the least,but as has been mentioned,maybe the p-86 is the answer without drilling any holes.

You could add a plastic insert into the P85 in order to keep it from loosening.

Screw off the tension knob rod completely and take the slider off. On the backside there should be a channel for the threaded rod. Put a Fischer dowel or similar in there, you might have to cut it down somewhat. Put the slider back on, screw the tension knob rod in again.

Hope this helps.

Ok, I've found an even more solid strainer that also was standard on the Ludwig "The Chief" Titanium snare drum. So I seppose that it wil fit my supra???http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dunnett-R4-Silver-Snare-Drum-Throw-Off-with-Butt-mounting-screws-R-4-R40-DR4-/161641568980?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25a2969ad4http://www.ilgaragediasso.net/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/tit2.JPGIt costs more than the p86 stariner but I think it's more sturdy and everything works with a drumkey (not with a screwdriver like the p86 and p85)Wat do you guys think?

The Dunnett is a solid/reliable strainer. I have it on several of my snares, and it works flawlessly for me. The swivel feature is very cool. There is a R4L now that is especially made for the Ludwig bead.

What I've been doing for years on my P-32s is to loop the string around the set screws (not the easiest thing to do, there's not much room between the screw & the side) & that usually holds it pretty well.
