Pearl celebrates three decades of Masters quality and excellence by reimagining the original 5 mm MMX shell with the Masters Maple Pure snare drum. Blending four layers of hand-curated North American maple with 4-ply Re-Rings from the 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 plies increase the overall shell hardness for better projection, improved sustain and a higher sonic output than ever before. Professional Pearl standards like Mastercast die-cast hoops, CL bridge lugs and SR017 snare strainer deliver optimum attack.
