Key Features
Product Ref: 98945
The slim 6-ply shells are manufactured with Pearl’s ‘Superior Shell Technology’ with overlapping scarf-joint seams and proprietary AcoustGlue. This glue fills every pore and dries to the exact consistency of the wood for optimum resonance. The plies are then formed in a high-temperature mould with a hydraulic press to produce perfect drum shells.
Maple has been a favourite drum shell wood of both drum manufacturers and players for a long time. Its boosted low end and smooth mids and highs help it sit in just about any style of music. Because of this, you often find maple being used in very high-end kits and by some very well-respected players. Pearl’s Decade series 6-ply shells are built from ultra-thin maple plies with hand=treated bearing edges to ensure you’re getting the same performance and tones as those high-end kits. Each section of ply is cross laminated and features Pearl’s superior shell technology, resulting in a thin shell that reacts quickly to the stroke and gives you the ultimate air chamber.
The Decade Series rack toms are equipped with Pearl’s new Opti-Loc suspension system that features a triangular design with two tension rod attachment points, and another through one of the drums two air vents. Rubber isolators are present at all connection points to allow the drums to vibrate freely for maximum sustain and resonance, whilst providing complete stability.
