I have an early 2000s Made in Mexico PDP CX kit and it's great. One day I was surfing the web and noticed that Sweetwater had an updated bass drum tom mount that now had an accessory clamp on the front side:
I liked the idea of having a clamp so that I could place a 10" cymbal behind the two toms and according to the listing, it fit the CX line. I ordered one and once I got it, it looked virtually identical to my kit's original mount except that the diameter of the vertical shaft is *slightly* less than my original. When I insert it into my bass drum, the tightening clamp maxes out before it even secures it in place. I'd still like to use it so is there anything I can do to make it work? Wrap the shaft with one or two rounds of gaff tape?
Thanks!
