I installed a Gibraltar rail mount to hold the high tom on my Saturn Manhattan Jazz kit and I wanted to use the factory bass drum mounted 15/16 inch tom mount for a cymbal arm holder.
~No one makes a cymbal arm with a 15/16 inch down tube.~
~Solution~
I bought a Gibraltar cymbal arm with a 7/8 inch down tube.
I used a tube cutter to cut off 7 inches of 15/16 inch tube from the Mapex tom holder.
(first pic shows Mapex tom holder with 7 inches of pipe removed)
I slid the 15/16 inch tube over the 7/8 inch cymbal arm down tube.
I drilled a small hole and I inserted a small self tapping screw to secure the two down tubes together. (second pic shows assembled cymbal holder with added 15/16 inch tube)
I got just what I wanted!
