PearlOptimount Tom Mounting System 15in to 16in
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Pearl's Optimount tom mounting system sized for 15in and 16in toms. For drummers upgrading how a larger tom attaches to the kit.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Mounting a 15in or 16in tom instead of standing it on legs
- Replacing a damaged or missing mount on an existing Pearl tom
- Reconfiguring a kit so the big tom hangs off a stand
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Toms smaller than 15in or larger than 16in
- Drummers happy with floor tom legs — this adds cost, not sound
- Anyone without a stand or arm to mount it to
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Mounting system, not a stand
It attaches to the drum. You still need a stand or arm for the mount to clamp onto.
Detail 03
Pearl Optimount
Designed around Pearl's lug and hardware layout. Fit on other brands is not guaranteed.
Detail 04
$87.99
Real money for hardware. Worth it if the tom is staying in the kit long term.
Detail 05
Fits a large tom
15in and 16in toms are heavy. Whatever stand you hang this from needs to handle that weight.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your tom's diameter — this covers 15in and 16in only
- 02No stand or tom arm included; you supply the mounting hardware
- 03Expect to pull the heads and hoops off during installation
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my 14in tom?
No. This one covers 15in and 16in shells. Pearl makes Optimount in other size ranges — match the one to your drum's diameter.
02Does it come with a stand?
No. This is the mounting system that goes on the drum. You supply the stand or tom arm it hangs from.
03Can I use this on a non-Pearl tom?
It is built for Pearl's hardware layout. Compare your tom's lug positions and hardware against a Pearl shell before assuming it will line up.
04Do I have to take the drum apart?
Plan on removing the heads and hoops to fit the mount, then retuning the drum afterward. Set aside time rather than doing it before a gig.
