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.
