Drummers, unlock your tom's true sound! The Pearl R2 Air is a revolutionary suspension system that mounts your tom from the center of the shell, not the sides. Why does that matter? Traditional mounts can dampen the drum's vibration and kill its tone and sustain. The R2 Air uses a floating four-point platform that cradles the drum, letting it resonate completely freely. The result is more volume, better tone, and longer sustain – it basically makes your tom sound like a bigger, richer drum. You can even fine-tune the sustain by adding or removing the included rubber discs at the contact points. This particular model is for Pearl's standard 7/8\ tube-style tom arms. It's a bit of an investment, but if you're chasing the absolute best sound from your kit and want to hear your toms ring out with full, un-muffled glory, the R2 Air is a game-changer. It's like giving your drums a voice they never had before.
