Masters Maple/Gum

SHELLS

Explosive tonal clarity and articulation for recording.

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.

NEW HARDWARE

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.
