Detail 01
Ball joint
The ball is what lets a tom tilt in any direction and lock there. When it wears, angle drifts while you play.

GibraltarSC-LBS L-Rod Ball
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A small replacement ball joint part for Gibraltar L-rod mounts. For drummers fixing a tom mount that has gone loose or lost its ball.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn or missing ball on an existing mount
- Restoring tilt adjustment on a tom that will not hold angle
- Keeping a spare in the hardware bag
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs the full L-rod or mount
- Non-Gibraltar hardware without confirming the part matches
- Drummers who have not diagnosed why the mount slips
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
SC-LBS part number
A specific service part. Match the number to your existing mount rather than eyeballing the shape.
Detail 03
Replacement component, not a mount
This is one piece of a mounting assembly. It does nothing on its own without the L-rod and receiver.
Detail 04
$12.99
Cheap enough to buy two and keep a spare, which beats a dead tom mount mid-gig.
Detail 05
Gibraltar-specific
Sized for Gibraltar L-rod hardware. Other brands use their own ball and socket dimensions.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your mount uses this part before ordering
- 02L-rod and mounting bracket not included
- 03A slipping tom is sometimes a worn socket, not the ball
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the ball for?
It sits in the mount's socket and lets the L-rod pivot to any angle, then clamps down to hold that position.
02Does this include the L-rod?
No. This is the ball component only. The L-rod is a separate part.
03My tom keeps drooping — will this fix it?
It fixes wear on the ball itself. If the socket or clamp screw is stripped, replacing the ball alone will not hold.
04Will it fit my Pearl or Tama mount?
It is a Gibraltar part. Other brands use different ball and socket sizing, so check against your existing hardware before ordering.
