For decades, Pearl’s Concert Series Toms have set the standard for powerful projection, tonal resonance, and reliable hardware, suiting percussionists from the concert hall to the outdoor stadium. For 2023, Pearl introduces its revolutionary R2 Air Suspension and Opti-Loc mounting systems to its three series of Concert Toms.

PTA Philharmonic and PTM Symphonic Series Double-Headed Toms are now equipped with Pearl’s
revolutionary R2 Air Tom Suspension System, an exclusive four-point floating isolation system
which attaches to the top and bottom of the drum. Available with both new GyroLock-L or Pearl’s
standard 7/8″ tube arm. PTA Philharmonic and PTM Symphonic Series Single-Headed Toms are
now equipped with Pearl’s Opti-Loc Suspension System, featuring a three-point isolation mount
that provides solid, stable play and superior tom sustain. PTE Concert Series Toms have been
upgraded with RL10 lugs and the new sturdy T895 Double Tom Stand.

PTA Philharmonic Series Concert Toms feature 100% 6-ply African Mahogany shells for rich sustain
and powerful penetrating bass tones. PTM Symphonic Series Concert Toms feature a 6-ply, 7.5mm
100% Maple Shell for lush mid-tones and full sustain, and PTE Concert Series Toms feature a 6-ply,
7.5mm Poplar and Kapur composite shells which produce superb tone and excellent projection.
