100% maple construction





Maple is a favorite shell wood of both respected drum manufacturers and players. Its warm low end and smooth midrange suit just about any style of music. The Pearl Decade Maple's shells are built from six plies of ultra-thin maple, with hand-treated bearing edges to ensure you're getting the same performance as those high-end kits.





Gig-ready quality





Pearl built this 7-piece Decade Maple shell pack to be played live and in the studio. Besides maintaining exceptional tone, the construction of the Decade Maple series gives you the peace of mind that comes with performing with quality instruments. Even the shells' lugs and mounts are inspired by Pearl's Reference series. This shell pack works wonderfully for a starter kit, a pro's backup set, or even as your first call drum set because of its low price point and durable construction.





Attention to detail





The attention to detail put into Pearl's Decade Maple series belies its rock-bottom price. The ultra-thin 6-ply shells are built using Pearl's SST technology, with overlapping scarf-joint seams and proprietary AcoustiGlue for unbeatable resonance. Both the interiors of the shells and the bearing edges are hand treated. And the Reference-inspired mini lugs, Opti-Lock suspension mounts, and Uni-Lock tom arms are all built to tour-ready specs. Take it from drummers at Sweetwater: you won't find many all-maple kits of this caliber for the price.
