Pearl Limited Masters Maple Complete 4-Pc Kit - 22/10/12/16
Naturally Resonant, Powerfully Present.
Masters Maple Complete's thin premium Maple shell fits in the tonal center of any musical situation. It is designed to deliver a definitive blend of warm, centered midrange and powerful rounded punch.
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.
Our 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.
Finally, the plies are formed in high temperature molds with 1000 PSI of hydraulic pressure, producing the ultimate air chamber for optimal resonance, extreme strength, and superior tone.
All shells are tested for flatness and roundness before drilling and assembly to assure supreme head-seating and tuning.
EvenPly-Six North American Maple Shell
This 6-ply (5.4mm) shell fuses reduced thickness, cross-laminated panels for increased resonance, fat, centered articulation and focused tonal sustain.
Standard 45-Degree Bearing Edge
Pearl’s original edge provides the perfect blend of attack, warmth, and sustain through minimal head contact
Inspired Custom Appointments
Pearl's exclusive hand lacquering process enhances Maple's natural sonic and visual beauty with painstaking precision.
Rugged, Reliable, and Refined.
Masters Maple Complete's total sound is enhanced by strong hardware elements and is designed to hold tuning under heavy play without inhibiting shell resonance.
To pull the best voice from each Maple shell in the kit, all Masters Maple Complete drums feature hardware elements selected for their tone enhancing properties.
These include the SP30 bass drum spur with spring-loaded retractable spike, bridge-style CL Lug and LB40 Floor Tom Bracket for low shell contact, OptiMount four point tom suspension mounts, R40 Air Suspension Floor Tom Feet, Die-Cast Bass Drum Claws, and Superhoop II Triple-Flanged Hoops.
Each of these hardware pieces lends not only to the tuning and function of each drum but also to the overall sound of the total Masters Maple Complete drum kit.
