Not Your Typical Floor Tom!

Here's the floor tom you've simply got to get your hands on. The Pearl Reference Pure Series Floor Tom is everything a floor tom could ever want to be - rich, warm, and deeply resonant with enough life, snap, and punch to project with absolute clarity. It's no fluke that the Reference Pure Series Floor Tom sounds so good - it sports all of the breakthrough technology featured in Pearl's Reference Pure series.

For starters, the Reference Pure Series Floor Tom's shell is made from eight individual plies, blending African mahogany and top-shelf maple for the perfect balance of sound. These aren't your typical plies either - they're super thin (just .9mm) and treated with Pearl's Superior Shell Technology process, making them super thin and ultra-resonant.

Pearl also added a full complement of ultra-low-mass hardware, including minimal-contact STL swivel tube lugs and 1.6mm Fat Tone Hoops. To top it off, the Reference Pure Series Floor Tom sits on a set of Patented Air Suspension Rubber Tips, which decrease floor contact for extended sustain. No joke - the Pearl Reference Pure Series Floor Tom is in a class of its own!
