VMX SERIES

The all-new Vision Maple VMX, Pearl’s most affordable 100% Maple shell pack. Maple, known for its warm, rich tone, has long been the choice wood of professional drummers worldwide. Whilst it is not premium quality wood being used (as per Masters, Reference, etc) the drums deliver all the characteristics you would expect from a maple shell and have been built so well that they respond as well as some drums built with higher grade shells. Vision Maple shell packs come standard with professional Two Ply heads and a matching 100% Maple snare drum.

Vision series VBX shell packs are available as 5 or 6 piece shell packs.

Reference Series

With the Reference Series, Pearl shows us what they can do when asked to produce the very best ‘production line’ drum set from all that their factories, designers and years of r'n'd have to offer. Over three years of development lead to the Reference Series being launched to huge acclaim. In essence what they have done is look at each drum individually and ask what wood, bearing edge, hoop, etc works best for an 8" tom, 22" bass drum etc. They have then asked these questions of every drum size available.

The result… A drum set that has a different combination of shell materials, thicknesses and bearing edges from drum to drum. Unlike any Pearl drum shell that has been produced before these drums have to be heard to be believed. Come and try them for yourself in store today. Genuinely... these drums sound incredible!

We have the following drums in stock at LDC...

Shell type: 20 ply wood shell
Hardware: Chrome
Size: 13 x 6.5
Price: £499

Masterworks Series

This is true high end quality! Pearl’s Masterworks range is a concept where by much like all custom drum companies you get to choose something a little bit special, truly unique, complete one off’s.

Although this kit we have has already been designed and built by the guys at Pearl this remains a unique, custom shell design that offers you the chance to be a one of a kind drummer with a one of a kind kit.

This exclusive set of Masterworks shells was featured on Pearl’s 2010 Frankfurt MusikMesse stand and wowed everyone who saw the kit.

These drums were designed in house at Pearl as a take on the classic old shells of the 60’s with outer and inner plies of Mahogany sandwiching two thin plies of Maple.

The sound is warm with a very full tone. The shells have exclusive vintage style tube lugs and 2.3mm triple flanged hoops, chrome finished bass drum hoops to match the snares and toms and are all finished in an exclusive black Marbelized effect.
