I have a vintage ludwig set with the 9.5mm diamater tom mount brackets with a nut to lock them down. Currently mounted on a RIMS mount to the original bass drum mount.

I just bought a Tama combo stand, and discovered it has a 10.5mm rod on it. What is the best way to remedy this?

This is for gigging purposes, so I am not stuck on keeping the original tom mount. Would prefer something that will stay in place and not strip.

Again, for gigging purposes, is there a better tom mount bracket that will accept the 10.5mm rod that I can throw on the RIMS mount (something like this: http://tinyurl.com/b2ctuxj), or do I keep the original 9.5mm tom bracket and replace the 10.5mm arm that came with the stand with something like this: http://tinyurl.com/bymfmn9 (will that ball fit into the Tama stand?).

Appreciate the help in advance.
