Key Features
Drums "smoother than George Clooney", according to Music Radar, Pearl's Decade Maple 22" Am Fusion 7pc Shell Pack is one of the finest mid-range drum sets on the market. And despite its affordable price, it really is laden with features. It's the perfect primary kit for evolving players, or a secondary gigging kit for seasoned professionals. Don't be fooled by the drums' gorgeous Slate Black finish. Constructed with Pearl's propriety shell-making technique - where the plies are saturated individually with glue and then baked in extreme heat - these shells are as hard as iron.
The 6-ply, 100 percent Maple shells offer superb resonance and ultra-clear, bright sounds that will sit well in almost any musical application. Not so long ago, you'd have to pay much more for a kit of this calibre. But thanks to the ten years of process and material refinement that resulted in the Decade Maple Series, Pearl has made premium, otherwise unaffordable drum kits accessible to all.
This package includes Pearl's high-quality 830 Series hardware pack and a set of Sabian XSR Performance cymbals.

Elevate your performance. Ten years of painstaking process and material refinement have led to this: the Pearl Decade Maple Series. So confident in their creation, Pearl have even slapped a 'lifetime guarantee' on these drums. Within this price range, you won't find a better set of shells. They're a formidable force for any genre or setting.
Maple is a popular choice for drum shells the world over, given the wood's excellent, all-round tonal range. Rich, resonant highs and plenty of low-end rumble. What sets the Pearl Decade Maple Series apart is the maple's ultra-thin profile. These 5.4mm shells offer blistering attack with stunning resonance. You'll have no problem making yourself heard in any musical mix.
To deliver the Decade Maple shells' sound properties, you need superior drums with the most meticulous design. That's where Pearl's Superior Shell Technology comes in. This proprietary technique involves saturating the Maple wood plies with Pearl's AcoustiGlue - permeating each pore and drying to the wood's exact consistency. The plies are then baked in high-temperature with 1000 PSI of hydraulic pressure to produce indestructible shells that exhibit rich, thunderous tones and outstanding resonance.
Without a doubt the most sophisticated drum hardware ever offered on a drum kit at this price.
The Sabian XSR Performance Cymbal Set features a 14'' XSR Hi-Hat, 16'' XSR Fast Crash, 20'' XSR Ride Cymbal, and an 18'' XSR Fast Crash. The Performance Cymbal Set delivers unprecedented sound and performance designed to fit your budget, offering an additional cymbal at a small price difference. All of the cymbals included are sonically matched for optimum performance compatibility, delivering bright, tight sounds. The all-round cymbal set is everything you need for your beginner to intermediate level drum kit, providing you with a wide range of tones.
