Do you have the tom mount? You could insert it upside down and clamp a boom onto that, or you could remove the pin and take the top part of the mount off.
UPDATE: The Gibraltar is a fail. The thing is a beast. With 3 separate tubes (not including booms) and 2 giant tube clamps, the thing looks goofy as all get out. Add memory locks and it's a chrome Christmas tree lol. And it weights a ton; much more than separate boom stand. I had expected to only need the middle 1" tube+top tube, but the tom mount on my Premier kick (1990's era XPK made in England) must be 1 1/8". So I need all 3 tubes with the Gibraltar.
What I really need is a 1 1/8" tube with a boom on it. The multiple tube Gibraltar is just way overkill.
I think a few years ago I used an old Tama boom with 1 tube and boom on top of it but I can't find it.

I do have the tom mount, but honestly it weighs at least 10 pounds. I'd rather use the 1 pound lite stand lol.
A little unorthodox here but have you considered trying a hardware store? Depending on the size/weight of the cymbal in question you could try a piece of copper or aluminum tubing. Heck, I'd fly a splash off pvc lol. I needed really long legs for a short stack floor tom I used with a standing (Slim Jim style) set up and the only ones I could find that were long enough were over $30 PER LEG! So I found 3 long threaded rods the same diameter as the floor tom legs at HD and it cost me less then $10 for all 3.
That may be a great middle ground. Take a single thin, light weight upper section of a boom cymbal stand and guerilla glue a small piece of pvc or copper as a spacer. Rigidity of a metal stand, light weight of a single tube section, but spaced to fit your tom mount.I have thought of a sleeve of some sorts.
