Ok so I've been trying all possibilities with the hardware I already have for a few hours tonight and have gotten nowhere. I've also read everything everyone had said and I'm stuck between getting a new stand to hold the rack tom so that it doesn't shake the cymbal stand or whatever , like the one Tre has holding his rack tom here
or just getting an arm that will connect to a cymbal stand. I problem with that I think is that my nearest stand is almost two feet away....
I really hoped I would just be able to put it in my bass drum (buying whatever other arm I would need) but I've figured out no matter what I buy the tom will still be too close to me. It needs to sit back on the bass drum more.
So I don't know which one to do. It's really frustrating because I've been spending hours on this and haven't gotten very far.
If I were to get the stand, would i have to buy a cymbal stand and just take it apart to make it fit to the height i need it to be? And then buy an arm?
Here's what I was looking it for if I was going to attach it to a cymbal stand i already have:

And with option 2, getting another stand like Tre, I thought I would get this

And I would change the title to this thread to make it sound less stupid, but I can't figure out how lol
Edit: just found this article

Pretty sure it's the same as my option 2, what Tre has.
