Pure Heritage, Slimmed Down for Maximum Vibrancy

Pearl's Reference series architecture provides an outstanding foundation for Pearl's Reference Pure mounted toms, which utilize EvenPly shells crafted from four plies of maple and two plies of birch with 45-degree bearing edges to deliver a vibrant and powerful sonic experience for the player and listener alike. The Reference Pure mounted tom's low-mass STL tube lugs and hemmed-and-welded 1.6mm Fat Tone Hoops unlock the full resonance of the shell. Get ready to experience a new level of drumming satisfaction with this one-of-a-kind Pearl Reference Pure mounted tom from Sweetwater.

Optimized shell construction

Each drum on your kit serves a different purpose. That's why your Pearl Reference Pure mounted tom has been built from a custom recipe of select hardwoods for an optimized response and tonal character. It also features 45-degree bearing edges to help control overring. The result is a pre-EQ'd sound with extra cut and projection, live onstage or miked up in the studio.

Low-mass hardware

Even the hardware used in Pearl's Reference Pure series is designed to maximize the response of its shells. Lightweight STL tube lugs allow shells to vibrate freely for a sweet, singing sustain. Low-mass 1.6mm Fat Tone Hoops with hemmed and welded edges add strength and rigidity at the point of contact for a powerful attack. The Reference Pure series features some of the highest quality drums in Pearl's catalog, with premium hardware to match its exquisite shell woods.

Superior Shell Technology (SST)

Drummers here at Sweetwater swear by Pearl's Superior Shell Technology, a proprietary technique that gives its Reference Pure drums incredible strength and tonal transfer. Select hardwoods chosen for their unique acoustic properties are milled to optimal thickness using overlapping scarf joint seams to form an airtight fit. Wood plies are then saturated with Pearl's special AcoustiGlue, which permeates every pore and dries to the exact consistency of the wood, creating phenomenal resonance. Lastly, the plies are formed in high-temperature molds with 1,000 PSI of hydraulic pressure to create drum shells with remarkable tone, vibrancy, and strength.

Pearl Reference Pure Mounted Tom Features:

  • Built from EvenPly shell with 4 plies of maple and 2 plies of birch
  • SST produces optimal tone, resonance, and strength
  • STL swivel tube lugs allow the shell to vibrate freely for phenomenal resonance
  • 1.6mm Fat Tone Hoops give you amazing strength and rigidity at the point of contact
  • Stainless steel tension bolts deliver smooth, precise tensioning with absolutely no play
