THE EVOLUTION OF TOM MOUNTING TAKES A GIANT LEAP FORWARD. The physics of drum resonance is about to meet its match. For the first time, totally unrestricted, fully uninhibited, tonally uncolored sound can be drawn from mounted toms, with the Pearl R2 Air Tom Suspension system. U.S. Patent #11640814 Elevate the Physics - and Sound - of Your Drum. R2 Air improves the overall tone of the complete drum kit by delivering the true sound of each mounted tom by creating a transition bridge from toms to floor toms.
ROCK SOLID, TOTALLY FLEXIBLE TOM POSITIONING. Pearl is the first drum maker to offer a choice in tom mounting function. The GyroLock gearless positioning system offers the option of vertical placement with a 12.7mm solid L-arm, and the horizontal framing of our traditional 7/8˝ tube mount. Both offer infinite angle adjustment with a simple turn of the key without compromising sound or security. Unlike other L-arm holders that rely on a limited position, fallible ball-in-socket system, GyroLock’s internal locking system can secure any angle without parts that wear over time.

EXCLUSIVE FOUR-POINT FLOATING ISOLATION PLATFORM.
To attain tonally true sound, every drum would have to be mounted in a floating point at the center of its shell. R2 Air equally balances mounting pressure across two floating points at the top and bottom of each tom. This gives true tonal separation from mounting hardware and enhances sonic output. All mounting hardware is isolated from the shell via the R2 Air’s four ResoDisk shock absorption inserts.
PIPE TO L-ROD CONVERSION ADAPTER CPR1278 The CPR-1278 converts any 7/8" (22.2mm) diameter traditional Pearl tom receiver into a 12.7mm L-Rod tom holder. Simply insert the 7/8" horizontal end into a standard Pearl receiver and tighten the clamp, and enjoy the stability of vertical L-Rod tom positioning. This adapter allows the use of traditional pipe mounts while keeping the usability of newer L-rod tom holders from 9.5mm to 12.7mm. Its memory lock notch prevents slippage in play and holds toms securely in practically any position.
MIC CLIP ADAPTER MICA1
Small, efficient, and secure, the MICA-1 Mic Clip Adapter is a strong solution for mounting your choice of microphone safely to Pearl MasterCast, SuperHoopⅡ, and FatTone Hoop. Attaching to the top and bottom of the hoop with the simple turn of a drum key, the MICA-1 works with most any available mic clip to keep mics mounted in the optimum sonic space; even where a reduced footprint is an issue. Designed specifically to work in tandem with Pearl's revolutionary R2Air Tom Mount, the MICA-1 allows for flexible microphone positioning to suit various performance needs and set-ups (microphone clip and microphone not included.)
U.S. Patent #11640814
DamperDisk Sustain and tone can even be fine-tuned with the addition of its included rubber DamperDisk in one of four tension points. This shortens decay for a more pronounced note.
MEMORY, WHERE YOU NEED IT MOST GyroLock-L’s position settings can be locked in place with the aid of additional memory locks in three separate places. This, plus our new Compass Dial markings, assure teardown and reset that is quick, secure, and repeatable. (US.PAT.11990109)
