Pearl Decade Maple Drum Kits
Pearl has released the Decade Maple series of drum kits . The Decade Maple kits feature six-ply , 5.4 mm Maple shells , pro-level features , and come in eight custom-colour lacquer finishes
The Decade shells ’ cross-laminated plies incorporate Pearl ’ s proprietary Superior Shell Technology . The resulting thin but strong shell reacts quickly to the stroke , producing resonant highs and deep lows . Pearl ’ s Superior Shell Technology begins with select woods chosen for their unique acoustic attributes , milled to a precise thickness with overlapping scarf joint seams for an air-tight fit . The wood plies are saturated with Pearl ’ s proprietary AcoustiGlue that fills every pore and dries to the exact consistency of the wood for optimum resonance .
The 20 x 14-in . single headed gong drums are mounted by BT300 Tom Mounts located on each side of the drum . Any Pearl Tom Holder or accessory with a 7 / 8 post can be used to mount the drum .
