While a decade might seem like a long time, that's exactly how long it took Pearl to develop and refine the Decade Maple Series. The result is a range of kits and shell-sets bearing the professional-grade sound and clear, fast response of 5.4mm-thick, 6-ply maple and a set of drums produced via high-precision Superior Shell production methods. This limited edition of the Pearl Decade Maple kit is an all-in-one, affordable five-piece designed to provide any serious intermediate drummer with the upgrade of a classic configuration. So, you're getting a 22 inch by 18 inch kick, a 10 inch by 7 inch and 12 inch by 8 inch tom, 16 inch by 16 inch floor tom, and a 14 inch by 5.5 inch snare, all fitted with chrome-plated hardware for a tight look. This full kit comes including a HWP-834 hardware pack. Optimised Resonance To pull the best possible sound out of the maple shells, Pearl have applied a number of smart details to ensure optimal resonance. The most obvious is the three point OptiLoc tom-mount system that suspends the toms via two tension rods and one of two vents so that minimum contact is made with the shell. The lugs have also been kept as small and lightweight as possible to reduce the load on the shell walls, giving the maple the room it needs to fully resonate. The HWP-834 Hardware Pack The included HWP-834 hardware pack sets the kit up with a solid and durable snare stand, hi-hat stand, two cymbal stands, and a P-930 Demonator kick pedal. These 834-Series stands are chrome-plated and stabilised by double-braced legs to provide the full support of a reliable, un-shifting foundation.
