Pearl Reference Series 16" x 13" Tom w/ OptiMount – Piano Black #103

Up for sale is an unused Factory B-Stock Pearl Reference Series 16" x 13" Rack / Suspended Tom in Color No. 103: Piano Black high-gloss lacquer finish. Sized at 16" in diameter with a 13" depth, this oversized tom is designed to be suspended from a rack or heavy-duty cymbal stand using the included OptiMount system.

According to Pearl's custom Reference shell specifications for a 16" tom, this shell features an 6-ply blended composition (2 outer plies of Maple and 4 inner plies of African Mahogany) paired with a Fully Rounded bearing edge. The heavy concentration of mahogany combined with the rounded edge maximizes low-end sub-bass frequencies and resonance, while the maple outer plies provide structural strength and bright attack.

Key Features

• Engineered 6-Ply Shell Recipe: Uses 4 inner plies of African Mahogany to generate booming, low-frequency warmth alongside 2 outer plies of Maple for snap and projection.
• Fully Rounded Bearing Edge: Maximizes head-to-shell contact area to dampen unnecessary top-end ring and highlight the drum's natural low end.
• OptiMount Suspension System: Attaches to the tension rods to completely isolate the shell, allowing the large 16" drum to resonate freely without choked sustain.
• MasterCast Die-Cast Hoops: Heavy-duty die-cast hoops hold precise tuning under heavy playing and deliver loud, focused rimshots.
• Piano Black High-Gloss Lacquer (#103): High-end deep black finish that blends seamlessly with any Pearl Reference or Masterworks setup.
