A connecting rod, particularly useful as the rod for supporting a cymbal of a high hat stand. The connecting rod has first and second parts with respective externally screw threaded regions toward each other to be coupled. A connecting nut is internally screw threaded to receive both of the screw threaded ends of the rod parts. The end of the bore in the connecting nut which is toward the first rod part is conically tapered. A compression nut is externally conically tapered and received in the conical portion of the bore of the connecting nut. The first rod part is received in the compression nut, where it is compressed, and is also screwed into the internal screw thread of the narrowed end of the compression nut. A lock nut on the threaded portion of the second rod part is tightened against that end of the connecting nut away from the tapered bore. The first rod part is compressed as the nuts are tightened.
