Overall this is a really good tom expansion for my practice kit.
Can't say much about how it sounds as I've put on a silent mesh head.
However, having said that there is one major problem I have with the tom.
The tom arm mounting.
Unlike the old Pearl Export 8" tom I have from 15 odd years ago which came with the ISS tom mount, the one that comes with Export toms these days causes the two lugnuts that hold it in place to come loose a lot more frequently.
So instead of the vibrations from the tom travelling through the rim, into the tom arm as with the ISS mount, the vibrations are travelling through the rim into lugnuts holding the mount and then the tom arm. So you'll have to be tuning the tom every, single, time you sit down and play.
If you want it to hold it's tuning better, I would suggest ditching the mount supplied and getting the ISS mount for it as well.
