INDe - TM5 Drill-Free Rail - Base only

About the TM5 Drill-Free Rail Base

The TM5 Drill-Free Rail Base is INDe's rail-mount platform for fitting a tom to your bass drum without touching a drill. It's built around two BR4 base brackets, which take the place of two existing lugs, so it attaches using hardware your drum already has.

This is the base assembly only – it doesn't include a tom holder head or L-arms, so you can pair it with whichever tom holder (Gearless Tilter, Single Ball or Double Ball) and L-arm size suits your setup.

The TM5 handles lug-hole spacings larger than 2" – up to 3" – and can also be used in place of centre-mounted double lugs, covering a wide range of bass drums. The rail itself offers a bit of forward or backward offset, so you can fine-tune tom placement rather than being locked into whatever position the lugs happen to sit in.

This Is How the TM5 Is Different

If you already know INDe's Low Profile Drill-Free Rail and you're wondering what the TM5 brings to the table, it comes down to reach and adjustability. The Low Profile Drill-Free Rail stays a touch lighter and lower-profile, and works on most drums just fine on its own. So if your kit falls within the usual spacing, the Low Profile Drill-Free Rail does the job – the TM5 is there for the wider spacings, centre-mount lugs, and the extra placement flexibility.

Bass Drum Size

The TM5 base is available for 18", 20" or 22" bass drums with 8 lugs, or 22" and 24" bass drums with 10 lugs – select the size and lug count that matches your kit when you order.
