100% maple construction





Maple has long been a favorite drum shell wood for both drum manufacturers and players. Its boosted low end and smooth mids and highs help it to sound well suited for just about any style of music. Because of this, you often find maple being used in very high-end kits and by some very well-respected players. Pearl's Decade series builds their 6-ply shells from ultra-thin maple plies with hand-treated bearing edges to ensure you're getting the same performance and tones as those high-end kits.





Gig-ready quality





Pearl built this 13" Decade Maple rack tom to be played live and in the studio. Besides maintaining exceptional tone, the construction of the Decade 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 for stability. This shell pack works wonderfully as part of a starter kit, a pro's backup set, or even with 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 series far surpasses their rock-bottom price point. The ultra-thin 6-ply 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 have been hand treated. And the Reference-inspired Mini-Lugs and shell hardware are all built to tour-ready specs. This pack is one of the great deals you'll find at Sweetwater.
