Reviews

Significant innovation for Pearl
I'll start by saying that if you play Pearl drums and are still mounting with their legacy rod system, this needs to be your next investment – the satisfaction of dropping a Pearl tom onto a strong L mount is highly satisfying, and it completely helps a drummer rearrange and dial in the positioning of all of their toms.

I have about a 30 year-old Pearl Session series kit, which is in really good shape, but I was itching to upgrade from their legacy "rod" mounting system an L arm system alongside their new R2 Air Tom arms.

I like to keep all of my hardware "in the family" – so I didn't want to purchase other brands, L arms, or Gibraltar, etc. – nothing against any of them as they are all good, I just like all my hardware to be from the same manufacturer, probably to a fault.

The Gyro lock and all of the adjustments and strength of this particular item are extremely impressive – pricier than other options that exist but a bit easier to work with and more versatile than the alternatives. WAY easier to position your tom exactly where you want it – there's only one bolt and you are instantly adjusting vertical position, left right, up and down, etc. – no more fooling with 4 to 5 different adjustments like the old Pearl set up.

Oh, and you can position the drum a lot closer to your rack or stand and not have to fool with all of the horizontal distance required by the old rod system arms.

Additionally, the length of the vertical component that mounts into your rack or stand is just the right length – some of the alternatives are too long and can conflict with your bass drum, drum rack, other components on your stands, etc.

I purchased these at the same time as the new R2 Air system to upgrade my actual tom mounts (big upgrade
from the Optimounts). Separate review on those, but overall, this system is solid and impressive.

Unfortunately, my legacy kit's lug counts and patterns were not compatible with the R2 system, so I will have to be returning these – and I hate to do it.

That's my own problem, though, and I still give this five stars and believe it's an exceptional upgrade for any Pearl drummers looking to move to an L arm system. Rock solid, well built, way more versatile than the rod mounting, and IMO, well worth a little bit of extra investment.

Amazing Mount!!!
I ordered this arm and the new Pearl Tom mount for my 13x9 VARUS acrylic Tom and they are incredible. This mount offers complete adjustability from a single lug tensioner. Simply loosen the lug, move your drum to whatever position you want it with your other hand, and tighten it. Gone are the days of trying to find the right angle at the main pivot and then trying to find the second Tom angle from the Tom mount. It's so easy and solid.

I believe these need to be paired with the new Pearl Tom mounts so the combo is a little pricey. However, it's absolutely solid and you will not regret it.

Still Not Enough
This Pearl design is an improvement over the ball design. It seems to move less, but it moves when used for a 15" hanging tom. I will likely return it and use tom legs for stability. Should work really well with 13" and smaller.
