What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


100% maple shells are the industry standard





Maple has long been a favorite shell wood of both drum manufacturers and players. Its boosted low end and smooth mids and highs are suited for just about any style of music. This is why you'll see maple drums in the hands of today's most in-demand players, studios, and drummakers. Pearl's Decade Maple shells are built from six thin plies of maple, with hand-treated bearing edges to ensure you get the same performance as kits costing several times more.





Shell and hardware are built tough and toneful





The attention to detail put into Pearl's Decade Maple series far surpasses its rock-bottom price point. The thin 5.4mm shells are built with Pearl's SST technology with overlapping scarf-joint seams and proprietary AcoustiGlue. Both the interiors of the shells and the bearing edges are hand treated. And the Reference-inspired Mini-Lugs, Opti-Loc suspension mounts, and UniLock gearless tom arms are all built to tour-ready spec. Whether you're just starting your drumming career or looking for an affordable kit to tour with, Sweetwater drummers stand behind the Pearl Decade Maple shell pack.
