Pearl Decade Maple 5-Piece Shell Pack Black Ice

Dennis Chambers Decade Maple Solo

Description
Pearl’s 70 years of drum craftsmanship culminate in this full Decade Maple 5-piece shell pack, designed to be the perfect drum kit for more experienced players who are ready to step up to the next level. With all-maple shells, professional features and gorgeous lacquer finishes, the Decade series will elevate your drum sound to an elite level better suited to your skills, all at a price previously thought impossible.

Professional drum features at an unheard-of price
After enough practice and experience, every drummer outgrows their starter kit and begins looking for something on a higher tier. The search often brings them into contact with exorbitantly priced high-end drums, or else drums that make huge compromises for the sake of affordability. Pearl designed the Decade Maple shell packs to bridge that gap, offering premium all-maple shells, pro-level hardware and other top-tier features, all at an accessible price for an evolving drummer or gigging pro. And what’s more, the matching snare means you won’t have to go searching for more drums to complete your set—pair this shell pack with some cymbals and hardware, and you’ll be ready to go.

Step up to Superior Shell Technology for the perfect airtight fit
Decade Maple drums feature 5.4 mm shells made from 6 plies of pure maple, crafted with Pearl’s proprietary Superior Shell Technology. This technique begins with select maple wood chosen for its acoustic properties, then milled to precise thickness with overlapping scarf joint seams for a perfect airtight fit. The wood plies are then saturated with Pearl’s proprietary AcoustiGlue that permeates every pore and dries to the exact consistency of the wood for optimum resonance. Finally, the plies are formed in high-temperature molds with 1,000 PSI of hydraulic pressure to produce perfect drum shells that exhibit superior tone, optimal resonance and extreme strength.

Bold, muted or a mix of both—Decade has a lacquer for every style
Pearl Decade Maple kits come marked with their own unique badge, designed to set them apart from entry-level kits as their own professional series. Compliment the badge with the wide selection of genuine lacquer finishes, including bright solid colors, glossy bursts and matte finishes to accent the woodgrain, and you have a professional look to match the sound—extremely rare in a kit at this price.

Quality hardware fit for the toughest gigs
Just like the hardware used on Pearl’s more expensive offerings, the Decade series shell hardware is low mass and low contact, allowing for optimum resonance and rock-solid durability, free from warping or rattling. Fans of Pearl’s more expensive models will also recognize the Uni-Lock gearless tom arms, insulated die-cast claw hooks, steel triple-flange hoops and R40 air suspension floor tom feet. This series also features a newly-designed Pearl mini lug.

A complete shell pack with matching all-maple snare drum
Unlike many other series at this level, Decade Maple offers a full 5-piece shell pack with a matching snare drum. This not only gives the kit a more cohesive tone and look between the toms, bass and snare, but also cuts down significantly on price. Many rising drummers and gigging pros have faced the frustration of paying too much for a standalone snare to complete a shell pack. Just as many have been forced to settle for a snare in a finish that clashes with the other drums, or given up and bought an inferior kit just because it comes with a complete set of matching drums. Pearl knows this struggle, and that’s why the snare in this Decade Maple shell pack is built with the exact same wood, construction and finish as the other drums. The result is everything that the Decade Maple was designed to deliver—no compromises, incredible price.

i bought this shell pack to practice on instead of my Vision set which i use for shows. i can honestly saw im blown away. the sound is amazing even right out of the box. once i hooked up the mics a quick tuning they provided a better sound then my Vision drums. i ordered a set of Evans G2 heads and made this Decade Maple set my number 1 set for recording/shows. if your on a budget but want a professional sounding set this is the set for you. even with the stock heads they sound amazing
GREAT SET

It comes with Tom holders but not the Tom telescoping connectors for those toms ? Clarify please and tell me what I would need if I can't set these up without purchasing additional Tom hardware. Your responses so far regarding this are vague
I apologize for the confusion. Shell packs contain nothing but the wooden drum shells. All additional hardware needs to be purchased separately.submitted4 years ago
