Pearl Decade Maple Hyper Rock Studio 22 Ultramarine Velvet - ultramarine velvet

The Decade Maple is the culmination of 70 years' experience in the art of battery design. And it's no coincidence that this new drum set bears the Decade name: it took Pearl 10 years to design a mid-range drum set on such a tight budget. Judge for yourself: 100% maple drums, gloss or matte varnish, new lightweight shells, stands and accessories included, etc.

Whether you're a beginner looking for an upgradeable kit, or a semi-pro looking for a second kit for smaller stages, the Decade Maple will satisfy the vast majority of drummers, not only because of its maple sound, but also because of its incredibly low price.

With the Decade Maple, Pearl has revolutionized the market to such an extent that it could easily be described as the Maple Export. A new legend is born!

A serious product at a competitive price.

For this series, ideal for starting out in style or evolving without suffering from mediocre quality, the Japanese brand's designers have prioritized the accessories included and, above all, the maximum number of options and know-how usually reserved for the top of the range, while keeping the buyer's wallet in mind. The use of maple as the only wood species, the design of the fine cross-laminated barrels, the lacquered or varnished finishes (seven colors, including a superb blue for this "Ultramarine Velvet"!) or the matching snare drum, are all criteria that can be found in the Masters or Masterworks series, the spearheads of the brand.

Accessories beyond reproach.

Ask any seasoned drummer to name a top accessory manufacturer. Pearl is on the podium! In this configuration, two cymbal stands, a snare stand, a hi-hat pedal and, above all, a Demonator bass drum pedal make all the difference. Observers will be able to make the same observation for the hardware, with of course differences from the top of the range, but it's certain that, in this range, Pearl remains a true benchmark in terms of quality and solidity.

Great sound.

With the Decade, we enter the category where a drummer can really start to make the drums sound as a whole, in terms of hit nuances, tuning possibilities and homogeneity between snare drum, bass drum and toms... Over time, by changing the skins, you can even expand the range of possibilities. That said, with the Remo Clear UTs supplied - particularly for the 22 x 18-inch bass drum with Powerstroke 3 and drilled resonance skin - and the sandblasted snare drum skin, there's already plenty to enjoy. And well beyond a decade!
