There is no standard in drilling. If the mountings are Walmart quality so are the holes. If the pearls are only 2-4 mm don't expect holes to be too deep. Usually the holes on 6-8 are 3mm +/- deep. In any event is very easy to increase the depth with the proper equipment. Drills are usually .8mm or 1.0mm.
