PEARL Reference One Floor Tom 16x16" #C859

PEARL Reference One Floor Tom 16" x 16" Putty Gray – Reference Recipe

This is a floor tom from the Pearl Reference One series, based on the Reference Recipe concept. The 16" x 16" size delivers a full, low sound with a large sonic mass and works well as the lowest floor tom in a drum set configuration.

This model is designed for expanding a Pearl Reference One kit or as a separate floor tom for a setup where stronger low end, longer sustain, and a wide tuning range are needed. In playing, it responds steadily, with clear attack and full resonance, making it suitable for stage, studio, and rehearsal use.

The Reference Recipe concept is based on matching the shell construction to the specific drum size. Thanks to this, the 16" x 16" floor tom has a character focused on depth, low frequencies, and fuller sustain. It is a good choice for rock, pop, fusion, progressive music, and all styles where the floor tom needs a clear presence in the sound of the kit.

The drum is equipped with MasterCast hoops and STL-100 lugs, which support tuning stability and precise head tension. The Putty Gray finish has a clean, professional look and matches the other elements of the Reference One series well.
