Pearl celebrates three decades of Masters quality and excellence by reimagining the original 5mm MMX shell with Masters Maple Pure. Blending four layers of hand-curated North American Maple with 4-ply Re-Rings from our Masterworks Veneer Vault, its premium shell formula delivers a sonic fusion of near-field resonance and sharp top-end attack for varied pro environments. These select Maple plys increase the overall shell hardness for increased projection, improved sustain, and better sonic output than ever before. Professional Pearl standards like Mastercast Die-Cast Hoops, CL Bridge Lugs, and revamped bass drum spurs and floor tom brackets assure optimum performance; while the ground-breaking R2 Air Tom Suspension system’s four-point mounting platform delivers optimum tone and resonance at any angle. This 8″x7″ component tom is a vital voice in the total Masters drum kit, and features Pearl’s Custom Black Oyster Swirl Lacquer Finish.
