- -"This is a truly exciting moment in Pearl's 74-year history," states Pearl's Director of Product Development, Raymond Massey. "Pearl was first-to-market with a synthetic-fused organic drum shell, and produced a tone that would define the sound of the recordings of that era." True to the legacy set by their innovative forefathers, new Wood Fiberglass drums' Kapur-blended shell features an inner layer of Fiberglass that is hand-applied and lacquered through a painstakingly precise process.
- -To further sculpt the tone of these unique drums, a sharp 45-degree edge is cut on the toms of each kit, while the bass drums feature a fully-rounded bearing edge. This brings focus to the Kapur wood's darker tonal qualities and accentuates the sonic cut of Fiberglass; delivering a unique combination of warmth, projection, and focused decay.
