Pearl Reference 5-Piece Shell Pack

Each drum is individually engineered to deliver tonal perfection.


This shell pack includes a 22" x 18" kick drum, 10" x 7" and 12" x 9" rack toms, and 14" x 14" and 16" x 16" floor toms.

Whoever
said that beauty is only skin deep, didn't know anything about Pearl's
Reference Series. These are drums with a rich inner beauty crafted by
the artful blending of the finest birch, maple, and African mahogany.

What
if each drum in your drum set was engineered as an instrument unto
itself? What if each size of drum was designed to respond perfectly
within the confines of its respective frequency without compromise over
any other area of your kit? This is the mission behind the Pearl
Reference Series. A complete set of individually engineered,
incredible-sounding drums.

To fully understand the Pearl
Reference Series, you must understand that the desired tonal
characteristics of a 10" tom are completely different than that of a 22"
bass drum. Thus, to use the same material in both drums would result in
a compromise.

The Shells
Pearl Reference
Series drums use a combination of task-specific bearing edges and 3
time-proven woods: birch, maple, and African mahogany. Using maple as a
sole material has long been the traditional choice for shells and for
good reason. Maple provides smooth, well-balanced tone that is perfect
for a 12" tom. Subsequently, all Reference Series 12" toms are composed
of 6 plies of maple, the only single-wood shell in the series. The 10"
and 8" toms receive 4 plies of maple with 2 inner plies of birch for cut
and attack. For maximum response, all 13" and smaller toms have rounded
45° bearing edges.

Beginning with the 13" and larger toms,
mahogany is added to the inner plies to increase the lower frequencies
and accentuate the warmth of the maple. The 14" toms and larger begin
using fully rounded bearing edges for even more shell contact. 18" and
20" bass drums use 4 inner plies of mahogany with 2 outer plies of
maple. As the size of the bass drums increase, so does the amount of
mahogany. The 22" and 24" kick drums are made with an amazing 6 inner
plies of mahogany surrounded by 2 outer plies of maple for the ultimate
in solid, responsive bass frequencies.

With Pearl Reference, it's not about compromise; it's about every drum in your kit performing at its optimal capacity.

The Hardware
The
same tireless pursuit of perfection that goes into Pearl's legendary
drums is found in its hardware. This hardware was designed to maximize
the sound of your drums. Pearl hardware has set a high standard for
strength, durability, and innovation.

Lug design
Bridge-style
lugs and floor tom brackets provide maximum resonance with minimal
shell contact. Pearl's revolutionary BRL lugs assure the ultimate in
head seating and tuning integrity. The unique swivel function allows the
tension rods to align perfectly into the lugs so there's no lateral
pressure against the hoops, thus assuring maximum resonance and sustain.

Bass drum claw hook
Pearl's
kick drum claws incorporate rubber hoop isolators for scratch
prevention on lacquered hoops, to provide evenly distributed clamping
force for consistent tuning. The key bolts are recessed for a snag-free
fit in carrying cases and to eliminate accidental detuning.

Floor tom leg brackets with air-suspended rubber tips
Full
height adjustment with Pearl's built in memory lock keeps floor tom
positioning perfectly set. Pearls' patented Air Suspension Rubber Tip
allows your floor tom to rest on a cushion of air. These large rubber
feet prevent premature sound decay from floor contact. Floor toms never
had it so good.

OptiMount suspension system
The
OptiMount Suspension System provides tom mounting with zero shell
contact for ultimate resonance. By attaching to the tension bolts via
isolated rubber bushings the shell is allowed to float which, in turn,
allows it to sing to its fullest capabilities.

MasterCast die-cast hoop
Pearls'
die-cast hoops offer state-of-the-art head seating and tuning
capabilities thanks to its structural strength and precision
manufacturing technique. The MasterCast Hoop system prevents binding and
allows the shell to resonate to its absolute fullest potential.

Bass drum spur
Pearls'
telescoping spurs feature rubber or spike tips for maximum traction
control. The high-grip rubber tip can be retracted to allow a recessed
spike to be exposed for maximum bite on carpeted surfaces.

Stainless steel suspension rods and bolts
Pearl's
stainless steel tension rods are machined from a single piece of
stainless steel to the most exacting tolerances in the industry. They
feature super smooth and precise tensioning with absolutely no play.
Each is matched with a precision-machined brass swivel nut for
ultra-precise performance.

Cymbals, stands, and kick pedal sold separately.
