Product studyGibraltar 12.7mm L-Rod Ball Tom Mount Large

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a bent or lost L-rod on an existing kit
  • Adding tom height and reach on a stand mount
  • Building out a rack or hardware setup from parts

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Kits using 9.5mm or other non-12.7mm rod holders
  • Suspension mount systems that do not take an L-rod
  • Players wanting a complete tom arm with clamp included

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

12.7mm diameter

That is the half-inch standard. Your tom bracket and receiver must accept 12.7mm or it will not seat.

Detail 02

Ball end

The tom tilts and rotates at the ball, so you set angle independent of rod height.

Detail 03

L-rod shape

The bend moves the tom out and over, letting you position the drum away from the mounting point.

Detail 04

Large size

More reach than a short rod, useful for larger toms or mounts set further from the playing position.

Detail 05

Sold as a rod

This is the arm only. Brackets, memory locks and receivers are separate.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your existing rod, 12.7mm and 9.5mm are not interchangeable
  2. 02One rod mounts one tom, buy per drum
  3. 03Check your tom bracket accepts a ball-style rod

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this fit my kit?

Only if your tom holder and bracket take 12.7mm rod. Pull the existing rod and measure it, or check the brand's hardware spec, before ordering.

02Is 12.7mm the same as half inch?

Yes, 12.7mm is the metric equivalent of half an inch, which is the common larger tom rod standard.

03Does it include a memory lock?

Treat it as the rod alone. If you want repeatable height and angle at setup, plan on adding a memory lock separately.

04Can I use it for a cymbal?

It is a tom mount rod with a ball for tom brackets. For cymbals, use a cymbal arm or stacker designed to take a cymbal tilter.
