Gibraltar Ball Arm L-Rod Mount

I bought this to work with the Gibraltar platform mount pole that connects to the bass drum. These do a good job of keeping the toms where they should be.

I needed another ball-arm mount for a third tom on my PDP rack system. I had previously purchased two of the Gibraltar mounts to hold 13" and 10" oak, rack toms. Easy to set desired positions. No slippage once set, and my toms are 13-ply oak, i.e., heavy.

These rack tom holders are excellent. Well-made, sturdy, and competitively priced. I have a DW oak kit. The toms are 11 plies of oak and very heavy as rack toms go. There is no slippage or movement.

Using two of these with the Pearl multiclamp. Set-and-forget. As good as any I've tried.

I purchased this Gibraltar Ball Arm L-Rod Mount to use on my Gretsch Catalina Club Jazz kit, for the purpose of adding a 10" Tom. The Catalina Club kit's tom mount has a 7/8" spot, typically to hold a cymbal. This Gibraltar Ball Arm L-Rod Mount's post was a little to long, so I actually used a hacksaw to cut off about half of the post. Doing this gave me more flexibility in positioning the toms on the kick. The L-Rod is solid, and holds my new 10" tom perfectly, and allowed for precision configuration.
