Detail 01
Hex rod
Six flat sides instead of round, so the arm cannot rotate or slip in the holder once tightened.

GibraltarHex Ball L-Style Tom Arm
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An L-shaped mounting arm for hanging a rack tom from a bass drum or stand. Replacement or spare hardware, not a complete tom mount.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a bent or seized tom arm on an existing kit
- Adding a second rack tom where you already have a bracket
- Drummers who want a fixed, repeatable tom angle every setup
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing the tom bracket or holder itself
- Players who want fine, ball-clamp style angle freedom
- Kits whose tom holder does not accept a hex rod
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 02
Ball adjustment
The tom tilts and rotates at the ball joint, so you set angle at the drum rather than at the base.
Detail 03
L-style
Fixed right-angle bend. Height and reach are set by how deep the rod sits, not by pivoting the arm.
Detail 04
Tom arm only
It carries the drum but does not attach to it. The tom-side bracket has to already be there.
Detail 05
Gibraltar hardware
Cut to Gibraltar's rod sizing, so it drops into Gibraltar holders without shimming.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing rod diameter; a mismatched hex rod will not seat
- 02The tom bracket, holder and mounting hardware are not included
- 03L-arms limit how far forward you can pull the tom compared to long-reach arms
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does the hex shape do?
It stops the arm twisting inside the holder. Round rods can rotate under a hard hit and drop the tom angle mid-song; hex locks the rotation.
02Does this include the tom mount?
No. This is the arm alone. You need a tom-side bracket and a holder or bass drum mount that accepts the rod.
03Will it fit a non-Gibraltar kit?
Only if your holder takes the same rod diameter and hex profile. Measure your current arm before ordering.
04How much angle adjustment do I get?
The ball joint handles tilt and rotation at the drum end. Height and forward reach come from how far the rod is inserted.
