Drum set
Individually engineered to make you sound (and play) better.
Derived from the shell blends of the sonically optimized Reference Recipe, each Reference One drum shell is comprised of reduced thickness premium wood layers. The resulting EvenPly shells beautifully capture every nuance of your unrestrained drumming voice.

R2 Air Tom Suspension System & Gyrolock-L Tom Holder
A giant leap in drum resonance physics, the R2 Air Tom Suspension System improves overall tone by delivering true, uncolored sound from each rack tom, creating a transitional bridge to floor toms. Combined with Pearl's first L-Arm, the GyroLock-L, R2 Air creates the world's most adjustable and tonally pure drum mounting platform.
