thinking about getting a new tom holder...

[starkeydrums]

and its come down to 2 different tom holders (not stands, cuz i have a decently sturdy cymbal holder).
i have a 12x9 and 13x10 rack toms and was wondering if either of these holders will hold those toms without slipping.
the pics are the two im considering.
also, it would be nice if anyone whos used them would care to talk about their experiences with it/them

Both of those will work well; I use two or three clamps similar to the one on the right in my setup. On one of them I have to tighten it way down to keep it from rotating in the grip, though.

If for some reason you aren't sure of the gripping power of one clamp, you can always get two and double up. I was suspending a 16" tom and chose to do that, one up towards the top of the tom arm and one near the bottom, for stability.

Will a Pearl clamp securely support a drum? Yes. Both clamps are good. I own both and they work.
