I am pretty sure Pearl tom holders are universal but I am sure someone on here will be able to confirm this for you

I believe they have different types of mounts. I think all the Exports have their suspension mounts, so any pearl drum with a suspension mount would be compatible.
Pearl, and a lot of clones, use half-inch pipes. Two mounted pipes into into the bass drum or on cymbal stands attached to the toms with their version of RIMS.
My first kit was a nine-piece Pearl World series kit. Birch and Mahogany shells, they sounded killer. I bought RIMS mounts for all of them back in '93. The pipe arms were now too long, since (with the RIMS on) the pipes couldn't go into the drum anymore. So I had cut them down with a pipe cutter. I bought my new kit. The guy who I lent the Pearls to (with hopes of selling them to him) couldn't figure them out. He could never get the toms positioned where he wanted them because the descending pipes were in the way or weren't long enough. He bought someone else's kit and I never forgave him. To this day I hate the Pearl half-inch pipe system.

They should fit. Ask Pearl. I have mounted toms on my Export.
As long as you use the Pearl I.S.S. mounts, you will not have any problems mounting the toms as they attach to the rim only. The will also fit triple flanged hoops.
I have a Pearl ELX 8 piece with 4 toms mounted with the I.S.S. system (2 with die cast triple flange hoops) and have never had any problems at all. They also fit in cases with the mount on the drum, so no extra work to tear them down/set them up. Just make sure you get the one that is made for your drum size and you will be good to go!

the answer is yes. I have a set of the high end Pearl tom mounts that I have used on export toms. You will be fine.
As stated above it is a standard tube dia.
