The Pearl EXX8P/C-21 Rack Tom Smokey Chrome is a tom tom featuring a shell constructed from 6-ply poplar and Asian mahogany with a smokey chrome finish. The Export Series from Pearl is one of the best-selling drum series, thanks in part to high quality innovative features. Each rack tom comes with an add-on pack consisting of a TH70S Tom Holder and ADP-20 Multi-Clamp for quick mounting onto your drum kit.
Incorporating Pearl’s S.S.T. Superior Shell Technology, these floor toms offer a sonically advanced combination of strategically arranged layers of premium wood to maximise frequency response. This famous S.S.T. construction process uses extreme heat, precision-cut scarf joints, the proprietary Acoustiglue and over 1000lb of hydraulic pressure to create the ultimate acoustic air chamber. This shell is then equipped with low mass lugs guaranteeing optimal resonance.
The main features of the Pearl EXX8P/C-21 Rack Tom Smokey Chrome include:
Really impressed with the super speedy delivery and tracking features. The product itself is reassuringly well constructed. Shells nicely round. The heads freely rotate. Plenty of resonance when tuned at low to medium pitch. My only issue is that the hoops on my items were not properly round so I have raised that as an issue.
This is a good add on to the Pearl it kit fits great to the right of your 10" Tom just under one of the cymbals and adds that higher end tom sound. Typical Pearl tom features, if you add the Evans hydraulic skin and you have a great sound.
