The New Optimounts Featured On The Reference Series Look Mean!!!!
Do They Work The Same Way As The Original Optimounts??

Do They Fit A 5-lug/ 8 Inch Tom?

Thanks!!!

They sure do look sweet. They actually started offering them last year on the Masterworks. And YES and YES to your 2 questions. ;)

PS - I'm 99% sure Pearl does NOT offer them seperately. You can only get them with the purchase of a Reference or Masterworks.

Will The New Optimounts Be Available On The Market Without Having To Purchase A New Kit?

The big thing is they are one piece. The older Optimounts were a plate, a top and bottom, the two tie plates and the BB-3 all bolted together. The new ones are sleek, one piece units.

Guess what. You're wrong. The new optimounts are available separately.

PS - I'm 100% sure. ;)

They also don't cover up the drum as much, which was sort of an issue with the previous model

Please provide proof of this, since you're so quick to point out that I'm wrong.

Why would you wanna do that?

[booby]

Why would you wanna do that?

Yeah, they wouldn't probably be at all stable.
