Pearl’s Masters Series has always been synonymous with the very best in professional instruments for the touring drummer. In creating new Masters Maple Complete drums, Pearl has crafted a refined representation of Masters’ 25 year history in one total package. The sound that made Masters a legend shines forward. With improved features and a lower price, Masters Maple Complete is the total percussive statement for the road-ready pro drummer. EvenPly-Six Shell: This premium, six layer North American Maple shell incorporates reduced-thickness, cross-laminated plies. This 28% thinner shell produces the tonal purity and increased resonance of Pearl’s legendary Masters MMX, while projecting with the vibrant power of the thicker MRX series. Five premium lacquer finishes are available in four pre-configured shell packs. To maintain optimal resonance and articulation, Masters Maple Complete features triple-flanged SuperHoop II Hoops on the tom and snares. Professional hardware touches include SP30 spurs, LB40 floor tom legs, insulated die-cast bass drum claws, and our sleek bridge-style CL lugs for reduced shell contact and improved shell performance.
