Gibraltar floor tom leg holder
Gibraltar hardware is deservedly known for it's high quality. I have an old Pearl Forum series set, which is great and satisfying. BUT it's very hard to find original Pearl hardware for it, since it's older mounting system type is not manufactured anymore. So i decided to try the Gibraltar leg holders for my 16" floor tom, as recommended by fellow drum builders.
Pros;
+ as can be seen form the first glimpse, it's built from a high end material composite, durable and solid.
+ mounting is as simple as it gets.
+ since the distance between screws is non-standard for the original leg holder, and the gibraltar one is bigger, i had to drill extra holes. But it fits and holds perfectly.
+ the price is very affordable.
Cons;
- be careful no to over-tension the screw; it wont break the holder, but might bruise or bend the leg (depending on it's quality.
- It's quite big in size, but that's a price to pay for solid quality.
Summary;
To buy or not to buy? ? Yes! Definately!
I'm a heavy hitter, so the floor tom takes quite a punishment on my drumfills. Strong and solid legs make it possible for me to groove on without dreading the set falling apart.

tama imperial star Replacements
My emperial star rosettes got destroyed, so I bought two of these as replacements..
Very easy to install and a pretty solid grip for the money..
Still working after two years of heavy duty usage, I definitely recommend it to everyone who's tired of using worn out rosettes..

Great
Does exactly what you need it to do - sturdy brackets that hold floor tom legs of multiple sizes. No downsides that I can see.

Fits perfectly on Tama Superstar 1980s tom toms. Did not try it yet on floor toms.

Genuine standard parts
I bought this because i am restoring a 14 " floor tom which was in a pretty bad state. I bought only one of those thing, I worried about it might not fit on. The floor tom is one of these Yamaha made in Indonesia.
I was able to fix it without struggle. Fits perfectly and looks tough like new. I need to buy 2 more of these and replace the legs. Gibraltar hardware are genuine and I strongly recommend !!

Super solid
I use this bracket for bass drum mounted ride cymbal. It is extremely solid, never moves even when I hit a heavy 22'' ride very hard. Great product.

Gibraltar SCTL2 Tom/FloorTom Rosette
I'm using a 16" bass drum in my set up for small stages along with some percussion, I bought these as the mounts on the drum were very poor quality so I made steel legs and put 2 of thees on as replacements and they are very good quality as they have to stop the forward movement of the drum, which they do very well and they were easy to fit, so for a floor toms they should be excellent, highly recommended.
