Each 6-ply, 100 percent maple SST shell is built for outstanding tone and resilience, with a powerful, timeless tone that works in any musical genre from jazz to metal.

So whether you're looking for your first kit or a reliable touring gear, the Pearl Decade Maple line is a terrific place to start.
Drum makers and players have long favored maple as a shell wood. Its enhanced bass end and smooth mids and highs are well-suited to almost any musical genre. This is why maple drums are in such high demand among today's top players, studios, and drummakers. Decade Maple shells are made of six thin plies of maple with hand-treated bearing edges to ensure that they operate as well as kits costing several times as much.
The attention to detail that Pearl has taken into its Decade Maple series clearly outweighs its low price. Pearl's SST technology, which includes overlapping scarf-joint seams and patented AcoustiGlue, is used to create the thin 5.4mm shells. The bearing edges and the interiors of the shells are both hand-treated. The Mini-Lugs, Opti-Loc suspension mounts, and UniLock gearless tom arms are all designed with tour-ready specs in mind. Whether you're just starting out as a drummer or searching for a kit to tour with, we've got you covered.
