What is the Pearl OptiMount Suspension Mount for?

The Pearl OptiMount Suspension Mount is a drum hardware accessory designed to enhance the resonance and sustain of your tom drums. It attaches to the drum's tension rods, allowing the drum to "float" freely without direct contact with the drum stand. This isolation prevents the stand from dampening the drum's natural vibration, resulting in a fuller, more open tone.

Which drum sizes is this OptiMount compatible with?

This specific Pearl OptiMount Suspension Mount (OPT0910) is designed for tom drums with a diameter of 9 to 10 inches. It is compatible with Pearl Crystal Beat, Wood Fiberglass, Session Studio Classic, and Masters Maple Complete kits, and accepts standard Pearl tom arm sizes. It's crucial to match the OptiMount size to your drum's diameter for proper fit and optimal performance. If you have questions about your specific kit's compatibility, a Sweetwater Sales Engineer can provide assistance.

How does the OptiMount improve drum sound?

By suspending the drum from its tension rods rather than clamping directly to the shell, the OptiMount allows the drum's shell to vibrate more freely. This reduces sympathetic vibrations and unwanted overtones, leading to increased resonance, sustain, and a clearer, more focused fundamental pitch. It helps your drums achieve their full sonic potential.

Is it difficult to install the OptiMount?

Installing the OptiMount is a straightforward process. It typically involves removing a few tension rods, attaching the OptiMount brackets, and then reinserting the rods. While it's generally simple, ensuring a secure and balanced fit is important. If you have any questions during installation, a Sweetwater Sales Engineer can provide personalized gear advice and live expert support.
