• Optimized wood composition gives each drum a custom voicing
• Superior Shell Technology produces optimal tone, resonance, and strength
• Premium low-mass drum hardware provides enhanced attack and sustain

Each drum on a kit serves a different purpose. That's why every drum in the Music City Custom Reference Pure shell pack is built from a custom blend of woods for the best tone and performance: 6-ply maple 12" and 13" toms for warmth and balance; a 4-ply mahogany/2-ply maple 16" floor tom for a powerful, controlled thump; and a 6-ply mahogany/2-ply maple 22" kick drum for punch and enough thunderous low end to fill a room. Sweetwater drummers find that recording and performing with the Music City Customs takes less EQ work to get the drums to sit great in a mix.

Drummers here at Sweetwater swear by Pearl's Superior Shell Technology, a proprietary technique that gives its Music City Custom Reference Pure shell pack the ultimate air chamber. Select woods are chosen based on their unique acoustic properties and are milled to optimal thickness with overlapping scarf joint seams for an airtight fit. Then the wood plies are saturated with Pearl's special AcoustiGlue, which permeates every pore and dries to the exact consistency of the wood for phenomenal resonance. Lastly, the plies are formed in high-temperature molds with 1,000 PSI of hydraulic pressure to create drum shells with remarkable tone, vibrancy, and strength.

Pearl quality doesn't stop at its unique shell compositions. Even the hardware used in the Music City Custom shell pack is designed to maximize the sound of the drums. Lightweight STL tube lugs allow shells to vibrate freely for sweet, singing sustain. Low-mass 1.6mm Fat Tone Hoops with hemmed and welded edges have strength and rigidity at the point of contact for a powerful attack. The Music City Custom Reference Pure shell pack features some of the highest quality drums in Pearl's catalog, with premium hardware to match its exquisite shell woods.
