Toms

Pearl's OptiMount Suspension System is considered to be the perfect tom mounting system. OptiMount attaches to the drum's upper and lower tension rods preventing any unnecessary shell contact.

This maximizes shell resonance and sustain to bring out every subtle nuance of the shell. Even the attachment points are insulated by oversized rubber cushions to absorb vibration and prevent any sympathetic overtones from being transmitted through the hardware. The OptiMount bracket provides a vise-like grip on tom holders via its UltraGrip Wingnut.The memory lock makes positioning perfect and dependable every time.
Strong and sleek, the new generation of OptiMount balances industrial strength with streamlined ergonomic design. Hours of research and development brought to fruition. No hardware touching the shell to leach off energy. Another reason that Reference toms sound like no other. Four adjustable mounting points attach to the tom via stainless steel tension rods insulated by rubber bushings.
Reference Series Floor Toms are available in 3 sizes and each feature a fully rounded bearing edge for thunderous low end frequencies. The 14" has 4 outer plies of Maple and 4 inner plies of African Mahogany. The 16" and 18" are constructed of 2 outer plies of Maple with 6 inner plies of African Mahogany for added punch in the lower frequencies. All Reference floor toms feature our BRL bridge lugs with swivel function for optimal tuning and resonance. The LB-200 clam shell brackets provide a vise-like grip on the LG-200 tom legs and feature built-in memory locks for consistent setup.
