Making the Maple Sound of Your Dreams a Reality

Its thin, EvenPly-Six shell makes it a perfect primary kit for evolving drummers or an excellent gigging kit for the seasoned pro.

The SST Difference

Using the world's first high temperature hydraulic curing system, Pearl's SST method was developed to craft a multi-ply, bonded drum shell with single-ply resonance and strength. This proprietary technique begins with hand-selected premium hardwoods chosen for their unique acoustic attributes. Each layer is milled to precise thickness and bonded into 2-ply panels.

Pearl's trademark overlapping scarf joint seams are added to ensure a perfect air-tight fit. The wood plies are saturated with Pearl's exclusive “AcoustiGlue”, which 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 1000 PSI of hydraulic pressure, producing the ultimate air chamber for optimal resonance, extreme strength, and superior tone. All shells are tested for flatness and roundness before drilling and assembly to assure supreme head-seating and tuning.

Hardware That Elevates Your Drumming Game

Decade's low mass/low contact shell hardware assures optimum shell performance and solid durability, including Uni-Lock tom arms, Die-Cast claws, and R40 Floor Tom feet. Small, efficient, and strong, the NDL lug is designed to hold tuning across all points without taking up too much room on the shell. The OPTI-LOC mounting system provides solid, flexible three point tom suspension for prime shell resonance.
