A Great Deal on 100% Maple Drums

The Pearl Decade Maple shell pack is a full kit of top-quality drums at an unbelievable price. Each 6-ply, 100% maple SST shell is crafted for superior tone and toughness, with a big, timeless tone that suits any musical application — jazz to metal. Pearl's attention to detail even extends to its hand-treated shell interiors and tone-enhancing lugs and mounts. So whether you're looking for your first kit or a roadworthy touring outfit, you're off to a great start with the Pearl Decade Maple series.

100% maple shells are the industry standard

Maple has long been a favorite shell wood of both drum manufacturers and players. Its boosted low end and smooth mids and highs are suited for just about any style of music. This is why you'll see maple drums in the hands of today's most in-demand players, studios, and drummakers. Pearl's Decade Maple shells are built from six thin plies of maple, with hand-treated bearing edges to ensure you get the same performance as kits costing several times more.

Shell and hardware are built tough and toneful

The attention to detail put into Pearl's Decade Maple series far surpasses its rock-bottom price point. The thin 5.4mm 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 are hand treated. And the Reference-inspired Mini-Lugs, Opti-Loc suspension mounts, and UniLock gearless tom arms are all built to tour-ready spec. Whether you're just starting your drumming career or looking for an affordable kit to tour with, Sweetwater drummers stand behind the Pearl Decade Maple shell pack.

Rated 5/5

Very pleased

I wanted to try a 24 inch kick without spending a fortune and I'm already a very proud owner of a masters kit, so I decided to give these decade kits a try.

I was not at all disappointed with the quality; the finish on the drums is very pretty and looks far better in person than in the website pictures. The drums tuned rather easily and the lugs were all very smooth out of the box.

I paired the bass drum with an emad heavyweight and kept the stock Tom heads until I decide on replacements. All in all, I was very happy with the tone of the drums, the ease of tuning, the finish, and most of all the price point.

Give them a try! I'm sure the other configurations in the series are just as nice.

Great sounding kit

I bought this kit the play gigs with my band. I did a lot of research on different kits at different price ranges. I really was drawn to the vibe of this kit. I'll first say, the band members love it and it's so fun to play. Overall a solid build, I was impressed with how "gig ready" it was out of the box. Comes with a hole in the front head of the kick drum and an included bass muffler that works pretty good. Getting these drums tuned how I wanted them was not hard at all (started out with remo heads from the get go) I have not tried the tom mount, just using a snare stand. Overall really nice kit, would recommend it to anyone.

Good sound for price

I love this kit, for a "affordable" or "mid range" kit. Love how it sounds been playing the rock sizes of toms being 13"/16" and kick being 24" and just love it and feels good. Love the sound and especially paired with heads and tuned well!

Incredible quality and value

This an incredibly beautiful and amazing sounding kit! The shells are resonant and powerful enough for hard rock or metal, but also subtle enough for jazz. I'm very happy with these drums and they have made me a "Pearl" guy.
Rated 5/5

So Sweet!!!

This shell pack is beautiful and breathtaking. These drums sound so deep, they pack the hardest punch. I've played on PVB for years, and find myself in love with the warm resonance of the maple. Sweetwater delivers so fast I was so impressed by everything. Everything I wanted and more!
