Delivering (arguably) the greatest drum sounds ever recorded, Masters Maple/Gum features an EvenPly-Six blend of premium North American Maple and figured, sweet Gum wood. Combined with a shallow outer 60° bearing edge, this thin and dense shell produces a punchy, primed recording tone.
A giant leap in drum resonance physics, the R2 Air Tom Suspension System improves overall tone by delivering true, uncolored sound from each rack tom, creating a transitional bridge to floor toms. Combined with Pearl’s first L-Arm, the GyroLock-L, R2 Air creates the world’s most adjustable and tonally pure drum mounting platform.
BUILT TO WITHSTAND THE TEST OF TIME.
By adding heavier, classic hardware elements to its thin, dense shell, Masters Maple/Gum carves a robust bottom end tonality with strong midrange balance. R2 Air Tom Suspension system mounts by four unique points for optimum resonance at any angle. Choice of standard 7/8″ Pearl Tom Mount or new GyroLock-L arm mount in a wide variety of sizes.
FINISHES THAT INSPIRE, DEFINE, AND ELEVATE YOUR DRUMMING PRESENCE.
All Masters drums are available in two levels of finish choice to best suit your visual preference. Configurable in a host of historic Pearl finishes in Premium and Custom Finish Tiers, Pearl stocks an unprecedented number of configurable shell pack components to give you the features you demand, on demand.
