The Pearl Reference Series drum kit is a masterpiece. To perfect the sound, Pearl engineered and designed each drum individually. Depending on size and depth, each drum has its own uniqe thickness and combination of wood types for the ultimate sound and resonance. The result is one of the best sounding drum kits on the market, and the choice for many world renowned drummers including Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Dennis Chambers (Santana).
