Pearl Drums ? HIGH-END REIMAGINED





What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Pure, all-maple shell construction





A time-tested tonewood, the classic sound of maple is an unmistakable punchiness coated in warm tonality. Maple provides an outstanding balance across the kit, from the highest rack tom strike to the deepest bass drum boom. The sound of pure, unadulterated maple is exactly what you get from the Masters Maple Pure 4-piece Shell Pack. Four plies on the outside are matched by a quartet of interior reinforcement rings designed to not only substantiate the presence of each shell but also focus the tone for pure responsiveness. Cut with 45-degree bearing edges, you’ll find that each shell will allow the head to vibrate more freely, maximizing sustain and offering up a wide range of potential tunings.





Professional-grade hardware at every turn





Whether or not a drum kit has the quality hardware appointments to back up its tone can make or break the kit's overall sound. However, there's no reason to worry with the Masters Maple Pure 4-piece Shell Pack! Its proprietary Mastercast die-cast hoops offer a stronger construction that intensifies contact with the rim and promotes greater tuning stability ? perfect for that huge stage sound! It also includes an R2 Air Tom Suspension system, providing four mounting points that permit freer resonance for each tom no matter how you angle them. Built-in bracket receivers allow for integration with both 12mm vertical L-arms and 7/8-inch horizontal tube mounting arms to meet the requirements of your setup.





Timeless tone from Remo drumheads





To top off each drum in the set, Pearl has outfitted the Masters Maple Pure pack with dependable and timeless Remo drumheads. On the batter side, a worldwide best-selling set of Coated Ambassadors supplies the perfect degree of complementing tone and attack while Clear Ambassadors flawlessly sustain on the resonant side. Coated P3 heads on the bass drum deliver a confident kick sound that emphasizes every note with a modern punch.
