Pearl Masters Maple Gum 4-Piece Shell Pack w/R2 L-Rod (Blue Abalone)

Delivering (arguably) the greatest drum sounds ever recorded, Masters Maple/Gum features an EvenPly-Six blend of premium North American Maple and figured sweet Gumwood. Combined with a shallow outer 60� bearing edge, this thin and dense shell produces a punchy, primed recording tone.

Using the world's first high temperature hydraulic curing system, Pearl's SST method was developed to craft a multi-ply, bonded drum shell with single-ply resonance and strength. This proprietary technique begins with hand-selected premium hardwoods chosen for their unique acoustic attributes. Each layer is milled to precise thickness and bonded into 2-ply panels. Pearl's trademark overlapping scarf joint seams are added to ensure a perfect air-tight fit. The wood plies are saturated with Pearl's exclusive "AcoustiGlue", which permeates every pore and dries to the exact consistency of the wood for optimum resonance.

The Maple/Gum shell combination is well-documented for delivering truly legendary sounds. Pearl's fresh take on this legendary combination originated with our custom Sonic Select Studio Recipe drums. These limited production kits were gaining such widespread acclaim that we introduced Masters Maple/Gum as the first production-level Masterworks kit. Masters Maple/Gum's expanded finish and component options make each kit a true prize for the owner. Believe the hype! Experience Masters Maple/Gum for yourself and take your studio drumming game to the next level.
