Pearl Professional Maple 4-Piece Shell Pack With 22" Bass Drum Piano Black

The Pearl Professional Maple 4-Piece Shell Pack with 22" bass drum is a modern revival of Pearl's iconic Professional Series, blending the spirit of its 1985 MLX predecessor with cutting-edge craftsmanship. Designed for drummers who demand warmth and projection, its EvenPly Six 5.4mm North American maple shells offer a lively tonal character that excels in performance settings. The shells broadcast a broad frequency spectrum, ensuring punchy lows and articulate highs that cut through the mix. With a transparent gloss lacquer finish showcasing the natural beauty of furniture-grade maple and tour-ready features like OptiMount suspension and Remo UT drum heads, this shell pack combines tonal excellence with durability. The 22x18" bass drum, 10x7" and 12x8" toms, and 16x16" floor tom deliver balanced versatility for gigging drummers.

EvenPly Six Maple Shells For Optimal Resonance

The heart of this drum kit lies in its EvenPly Six maple construction, renowned for delivering a full-bodied and balanced tone. Crafted from six thinner layers of North American maple, these shells achieve maximum resonance while maintaining structural integrity. The narrow 5.4mm shell design enhances the natural warmth of maple while providing a grounded top-end projection, making every strike dynamic and responsive. The tonal characteristics of this construction ensure consistent performance in live and studio environments, giving drummers the clarity and sustain needed for expressive playing.

45-Degree Bearing Edge For Enhanced Sustain

The 45-degree bearing edge on these drums creates a precise contact point between the drum head and shell, allowing energy to transfer rapidly through the instrument. This innovative design improves sustain, giving drummers a longer decay and fuller sound with each hit. The sharp edge promotes tonal clarity and dynamic response, ensuring every nuance is captured. Whether playing soft rolls or aggressive fills, the bearing edge design allows for a wide range of expression while maintaining consistent tuning stability.

OptiMount Suspension System For Better Tone

Pearl's OptiMount suspension system takes the mounting hardware off the shell, enabling the toms to resonate freely. This isolation technology minimizes shell interference and maximizes tonal purity, delivering clear, focused sound. The design ensures stability during performances while preserving the natural vibration of the drums. The four-way isolation holder offers reliable support without compromising the tonal integrity, making these drums perfect for drummers who value precision and resonance. The OptiMount system enhances every stroke's tonal depth and clarity.

Tour-Ready Hardware For Durability

Engineered for the demands of live performance, this shell pack features robust components like Pearl's 2.3mm Triple-Flanged SuperHoop II hoops and RL lugs. The hoops distribute tension evenly across the drum head, ensuring consistent tuning while withstanding heavy playing. Adjustable bass drum spurs provide stability on uneven surfaces, while the included BB3 bass drum bracket and TH1030I tom holder reduce the need for extra stands, streamlining setup for gigs. These durable features ensure reliability and performance longevity under demanding conditions.

A Reliable Kit For Gigging Drummers

The Professional Maple 4-Piece Shell Pack combines tonal excellence with practical design, making it ideal for drummers on the go. Its lightweight maple shells and streamlined hardware provide portability and ease of setup, while the transparent gloss lacquer finish adds stage-ready visual appeal. Whether you're playing local venues or touring nationally, this shell pack delivers the warmth, projection, and durability needed for consistent, high-quality performances.
