   Single-tension systems largely replaced the ancient rope-tension methods in the late 19th century and are still used today in lower-priced drums for student use. In this system, one long tension rod with a threaded end extends through the hoop holding the top drum head and then down outside the drum shell to a threaded hole in the bottom hoop.

3. Tie rod - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tie_rod

   The working strength of a tie rod is the product of the allowable working stress and the rod's minimum cross-sectional area. If threads are cut into a cylindrical rod, that minimum area occurs at the root of the thread. Often rods are upset (made thicker at the ends) so that the tie rod does not become weaker when threads are cut into it.

   [6] [13] The counter hoop is usually held in place with a number of tuning screws called tension rods placed regularly around the circumference. The head's tension can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the rods. Most timpani have six to eight tension rods. [11] The shape and material of the bowl's surface help to determine the drum's timbre.

   Overall, I'd recommend using a tension rod that's suitable to hold whatever you plan to hang from it. If it's just going to hold a lightweight curtain, most tension rods should be fine.
