Thank you.... To fully understand these drums you must accept that the desired tonal characteristics of a rack tom are completely different than that of a bass drum, and to make these drums with the same composition would result in a compromise.This is the mission behind Reference Series and Reference Pure: To create a perfect sounding drum set where every drum is optimally engineered to produce the best sound possible within its respective tonal range and diameter... drum by drum by drum.Forget what you think you know about drums and take a closer look at Pearl's Reference Recipe and the synergy of its three task-specific components.Features: ·         “Best of Masterworks” Shell Material ·         BRL Bridge Lugs w/ Swivel Function ·         MasterCast Die Cast Hoops ·         Aluminum OptiMount Suspension System ·         Stainless Steel Tension Rods ·         Molded Rubber Gaskets ·         Remo Clear Emperor Tom Batters ·         Remo Clear Powerstroke3 BD Batter ·         Super High Gloss ·         Lacquer/Lacquer SparklesSHELL COMPOSITIONOPTIMIZED SHELL COMPOSITIONReference Series drums use a combination of task specific bearing edges and 3 time proven woods: Birch, Maple, and African Mahogany. Using Maple as a sole material has long been the traditional choice for shells and for good reason. Maple provides smooth, well balanced tone that is perfect for a 12" tom. Subsequently, all Reference Series 12" toms are composed of 6 plies of Maple. The only single wood shell in the series. Our 10" and 8" toms receive 4 plies of Maple with 2 inner plies of Birch for cut and attack. And for maximum response, all 13" and smaller toms have a rounded 45° bearing edge.Beginning with our 13" tom and larger, Mahogany is added to the inner plies to increase the lower frequencies and accentuate the warmth of the Maple. The 14" toms and larger begin using our fully rounded bearing edge for even more shell contact. Our 18" and 20" bass drums use 4 inner plies of Mahogany with 2 outer plies of Maple. As the size of the bass drums increase, so does the amount of Mahogany. Our 22" and 24" bass drums incorporate an amazing 6 inner plies of Mahogany surrounded by 2 outer plies of Maple for the ultimate in solid responsive bass frequencies.With Reference Series, it’s not about compromise, it’s about every drum in your kit performing at its optimal capacity.
