The Pearl BT-3 Tom Bracket is the mounting bracket that keeps your rack tom exactly where you set it. It accepts any 7/8" (22mm) tom arm and uses Pearl’s UltraGrip wing nut for fast, secure tightening with excellent slip resistance. It also works on toms with or without Pearl’s ISS mount, which makes it a versatile replacement or spare. It’s Stop-Lock compatible, so you can set your tom position and return to it instantly.

This one shows light scratches, dings, and chrome bubbling, but it’s a solid, functional bracket ready to bolt on.
