Looking to build out your Export kit? The Pearl EXX 9" x 13" tom is a great place to start. Pearl's Superior Shell Technology (SST) blends strategically arranged plies of poplar and Asian mahogany with proprietary construction techniques to produce a drum that's tough yet soulful. What's more, Pearl's Opti-Loc suspension mount keeps this tom free from wobble and free to ring out to its full potential. Combined with a range of great finishes to complement your kit, the Pearl Export EXX tom is a solid expansion tom at an affordable price.

SST construction yields a tougher, more toneful drum





The Export EXX tom takes build cues from Pearl's top-class Reference series with its SST (Superior Shell Technology) shell. Plies of poplar and Asian mahogany are hand-selected by acoustic properties and moisture content, then bonded using Pearl's proprietary AcousticGlue at 1,000 PSI of hydraulic pressure. This allows every 6-ply Pearl Export EXX shell to vibrate as if it's a single ply of wood and prepares it for whatever abuses you can throw at it.





Stable Opti-Loc mount enhances tone





The Pearl Export EXX tom's Opti-Loc system features a triangular mount with two tension rod attachment points. These hold your tom firmly in place with no wobble and nothing to choke the shell. The Opti-Loc mounting system keeps your tom right where you need it and sounding its best, whether you're practicing at home or recording drum tracks in the studio.
