Elevate your performance. Ten years of painstaking process and material refinement have led to this: the Pearl Decade Maple Series. So confident in their creation, Pearl have even slapped a 'lifetime guarantee' on these drums. Within this price range, you won't find a better set of shells. They're a formidable force for any genre or setting.
Maple is a popular choice for drum shells the world over, given the wood's excellent, all-round tonal range. Rich, resonant highs and plenty of low-end rumble. What sets the Pearl Decade Maple Series apart is the maple's ultra-thin profile. These 5.4mm shells offer blistering attack with stunning resonance. You'll have no problem making yourself heard in any musical mix.
To deliver the Decade Maple shells' sound properties, you need superior drums with the most meticulous design. That's where Pearl's Superior Shell Technology comes in. This proprietary technique involves saturating the Maple wood plies with Pearl's AcoustiGlue - permeating each pore and drying to the wood's exact consistency. The plies are then baked in high-temperature with 1000 PSI of hydraulic pressure to produce indestructible shells that exhibit rich, thunderous tones and outstanding resonance.
The Sabian XSR Performance Cymbal Set features a 14'' XSR Hi-Hat, 16'' XSR Fast Crash, 20'' XSR Ride, and an 18'' XSR Fast Crash. The Performance Cymbal Set delivers unprecedented sound and performance designed to fit your budget, offering an additional cymbal at a small price difference. All of the cymbals included are sonically matched for optimum performance compatibility, delivering bright, tight sounds. The all-round cymbal set is everything you need for your beginner to intermediate level drum kit, providing you with a wide range of tones.
The Pearl 830 Series Drum Hardware Set provides you with everything you need to set up your cymbals and snare drum. All the stands are high-quality and feature double braced legs for added durability, while remaining compact and lightweight. The BC-830 boom stand, C-830 straight stand and the S-830 snare stand come equipped with Uni-Lock technology, rubber feet and nylon bushing joints.
