SJC Drums introduces the Navigator Series Mounted Tom, a professional-grade 7" x 10" acoustic rack tom engineered with a 7-ply North American maple wood shell to deliver natural sonic warmth, focused mid-range punch, and clear projection. Built to integrate across multiple musical genres from rock and pop to jazz and fusion, this compact mounted tom utilizes proprietary 45-degree hand-cut bearing edges along the rim boundaries to optimize surface energy transfer from the drumhead to the wood core for a balanced sound profile featuring a sharp stick attack and natural resonance. The configuration is outfitted with heavy-duty chrome structural hardware, including a suspension-style hanging mount with a standard 10.5mm bracket that isolates the shell from rigid metal contact to prevent choking and maximize fundamental pitch sustain. Equipped with iconic high-mass SJC Shield lugs and 2.3mm triple-flanged steel tuning hoops spaced evenly around the shell perimeter to maintain uniform intonation under heavy play, the unit features a universal mounting port that fits securely onto virtually all major third-party tom arms, L-rods, and multi-clamps. Finished in a distinct Ghost Black protective exterior coat that shields the underlying multi-ply maple layers from surface scuffs, scratches, and transit friction, this durable standalone tom comes factory-fitted with professional Evans drumheads to serve as an ideal higher-register voice expansion for custom setups or an independent acoustic upgrade for existing drum configurations.
