Detail 01
Gear tilter
Interlocking teeth lock the angle mechanically, so it won't creep under hard playing the way a ball joint can.

PearlTH88S Tom Holder with Gear Tilter Short Post
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Pearl tom holder with a geared tilter and a short post. For mounting a single tom close to the drum or bass drum it comes off.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Low tom positions where a long post gets in the way
- Replacing a stripped or lost holder on an existing kit
- Compact kits where the tom sits tight to the bass drum
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers needing the tom high above the bass drum
- Anyone wanting free ball-joint movement in any direction
- Kits using a different mounting standard than Pearl's
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
Short post
Limits how high the tom sits. Fine for tight, low setups; a problem if you play toms up near shoulder height.
Detail 03
Geared teeth vs. smooth adjustment
Angle moves in fixed increments. Your exact preferred angle may fall between two teeth.
Detail 04
Under $50
The cheapest of Pearl's tom mounting options, and the most limited in range. Buy it for the lock, not the flexibility.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure post diameter and length against your current holder before ordering
- 02Short post — confirm your tom reaches the height you play at
- 03The bass drum bracket or receiver is generally not included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How short is the short post?
Short enough to keep the tom low and close to the bass drum. Measure your current post and the height you want before committing.
02Gear tilter or Uni-Lock — which should I get?
Gear tilter if you hit hard and want the angle to stay put. Uni-Lock if you need positions the fixed teeth can't reach.
03Will this fit a non-Pearl kit?
Only if the post diameter and receiver match. Different brands use different post sizes, so measure first.
04Can it hold two toms?
This is a single-tom holder. For two toms off one point you need a double holder or a second mounting position.
