Detail 01
Gear tilter
Toothed halves lock together instead of relying on friction, so the angle holds under heavy playing.

PearlTH88I Tom Holder with Gear Tilter for ISS Optimount
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single-tom mounting arm with a geared tilter, built for Pearl's ISS Optimount system. For replacing a lost holder or adding a tom.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a stripped or missing holder on a Pearl ISS kit
- Adding one rack tom to an existing Pearl setup
- Players who keep resetting tom angle after hard sessions
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Kits using other brands' suspension mounts or generic ball-clamp holders
- Anyone needing two rack toms from one arm
- Bass-drum-mounted setups that use a different post system
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
Geared angles are stepped
You pick from fixed increments rather than any angle, so fine adjustment is limited.
Detail 03
For ISS Optimount
Designed to work with Pearl's isolation mount, which suspends the tom off the lugs rather than through the shell.
Detail 04
Single tom holder
One arm carries one tom. A two-up configuration needs two of these or a double holder.
Detail 05
Pearl-specific fitment
Diameters and gear teeth are cut for Pearl hardware, so mixed-brand mounting is unlikely to line up.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check that your kit actually uses ISS Optimount, not an older Pearl mount
- 02No tom, no bass drum post and no mounting bracket included
- 03Measure your existing holder arm before ordering a replacement
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my non-Pearl kit?
It is cut for Pearl's ISS Optimount hardware. Other brands use different tube diameters and gear patterns, so treat cross-brand fitment as unlikely.
02Does it come with the tom mount itself?
No. This is the holder arm with the tilter. The Optimount bracket on the drum and the receiver on the bass drum or stand are separate.
03Why a gear tilter instead of a standard one?
Gear teeth mesh and lock. A plain friction tilter can creep out of position when you hit the tom hard, and this design resists that.
04Can I mount two toms with one?
No. It holds one tom. Buy two for a two-up configuration.
