SST construction yields a tougher, better-sounding drum
The Master's Maple Gum series takes cues from Pearl's top-class Reference series with its SST shell. Four outer plies of maple and two inner plies of gumwood are hand-selected by acoustic properties and moisture content, then bonded using Pearl's proprietary AcousticGlue at 1,000 PSI of hydraulic pressure. This allows every Masters Maple Gum EvenPly-Six (5.4mm) shell to vibrate as if it's a single ply of wood and prepares it for whatever abuses you can throw at it.
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 Gum Shell Pack! Its proprietary Mastercast die-cast hoops and SST stainless steel tension rods 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. Plus, a redesign of the bass drum spurs, insulated die-cast claw hooks, and floor tom legs mean a more optimized response from your low end, no matter the playing environment.
Timeless tone from Remo drumheads
To top off each drum in the set, Pearl has outfitted the Masters Maple Gum shell 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.
