Drawing from two years of research and artist testing, Pearl presents Sonic-Select Shell Recipes: five distinct, extensively tested drum formulas each fine-tuned for their given performance application.
By filtering the nearly-endless array of custom options in the Masterworks spectrum down to specific shell, edge, and hardware fusions, each recipe creates a truly unique sonic signature; clearly defining the Masterworks custom drum experience for the discerning professional.
Recalls a classic age in drum-making by balancing the power of Maple with the warmth of Mahogany for enhanced lows and fat top-end slap.
Growling and robust in any live or recording setting,the thin Heritage shell speaks with extended, even decay; yet projects with authority in a variety of styles; from Funk to Guitar Rock, Country to Blues.
Produces thunderous sub-bass frequencies with exceptional sustain and subtle projection.
SHELL | 4-ply Maple / Mahogany w/ 4-ply Maple Reinforcement Rings – Responds like the rumble of a classic roadster; a classic combination of mid-range projection and boosted low-end thunder. EDGE | Standard 45° – Traditional edge draws added projection and resonance in this darker-toned shell. HARDWARE | FatTone Hoops – Lighter in weight but never lacking in rigidity. Respond similarly to the original “stick-chopper” of the vintage era with added tuning stability. Excellent for drawing extended sustain. LUGS | STL Swivel Lugs have less direct shell contact than any other Pearl lug. This little wonder features a pivoting brass tension casing that guarantees even tuning and reduced resistance to shell vibration.
