New Pearl Masters Maple Gum Drum Set Review

The low tuning sounds like a sample. Damn!!!! I hope they expand the line.

How would you compare these drums to the Canopus RFM's? Have u ever reviewed the Peal Master's 14x5 maple gum Hybrid exotic?

I’ve got the complete in walllnut antique but I can’t find the 10 inch Tom to match it

For years I’ve always thought these drums are amazing, i can see this used in any genre!🔥🔥🔥

This is the best sounding modern kit along with Ludwig Classic Oak. They sound different, but both are amazing.

Uhh,, precision shells??? Uhh Nordic shells!??? Uhh I really have had enough of deep bass drums!! 14" deep bass drums are the most versatile!!!! Bassy punch is just one color but a 14" shell will do that too!

I ordered one today

The low tuning is like a Jeff Picaro session with Boz Scaggs.

What heads were used in this kit?

My next Pearl kit

Similar and good...but not quite Gretsch

has no one else noticed the dog chilling behind the kit during the higher tuning demo? i don't think he digs the kit. looks pretty unimpressed.

Best part of this demo is Tom's chops 👍🏿

i like for drum the tune low high good to hear

Wow I love the thus sound

Like always amazing presentation,sound and video.Please make some video for drum mics and how your engineer make always this great sound.Thank you !!!

This or Brooklyn from Gretsch?

I think the 60 deegres bearing edges bring a more versatil sound than Gretsch USA CUSTOM.

Question. One your review videos, how do you tune the heads? Are they the same pitch or do you tune top head different from the bottom? And if you tune them differently, what intervals are you using and are they the same for all drums and kits? Thanks!

What muffling are you using in the bass drum?

I think gretsch has had that sound for a long time. Pearl is just trying to copy it. You could have had it for years if you had purchased Gretsch.

really nice sounding kit in low and high tuning

What are those small mics?

I have completely fallen head over heals in love with the sound of these drums

Get a proper drummer next time thanks

The Pearl Masters Maple Gum shell is now available in the Music City Custom line of drums. For those of you not familiar with that, you can custom order a kit in just about any size of shell, with a choice of close to 40 different wrapped finishes. It takes 14 business days which is basically 3 weeks. You have a choice of Reference, Reference Pure, Masters Maple Reserve, and now the Masters Maple Gum. When buying a new kit, you should never overlook Pearl.

Gorgeous sound

Sounds like gretsch. Just buy gretsch

These drums sound awesome! They have great tonal range.

These drums are heaven to have

I usually hate pearl drums. This kit sounds decent. But why put die cast hoops on toms? Let them breathe!

Beautiful sound... Really lovely

Love the look and sound of this kit. It's like Gretsch and Pearl merged to create the ultimate drum sound. Big fan of Pearl drums, would love to own this as a Music City Custom kit!! 10x7, 12x8, 14x14, 16x16 (or 16x15 if they can go an inch below square for depths), 16x22 kick and a matching snare with the black diamond or molten silver wrap, or just in this finish because this looks very classy!!

I'm in love!

A lot of toms these days, are 10 and 12, instead of 12 and 13 like they used to be.
Why is that ?

I don’t know what’s better: the drums, or your mixing...
Your processing is incredible. Honestly, would you kindly make a complete series on how to record and mix drums, starting from mic placement, to DAW processing, to get the beefy sound of the low tuning?

Why are some Drummers leaving Pearl and going to DW drums with pearl making drums like this

You guys earned a follow for the room mic comparison. Very much appreciated! 👍🏻

Miguel Lamas was playing 1 at the Manchester drum show UK. It blew me away!!

A big difference to the old Pearl Exports, I had years ago.

With all due respect,get serious,get a vintage drum kit ,one each,Ludwig, Rogers,gretch, slingerland, from the 60 s, they will all sound different ,with the same heads, and tuning

They sound great!

I love how your showcased the real sound of the kit by soloing the overhead & room mics. Thanks!

I think Pearl is making the best drums on the planet. If they would just start stocking more drums in Nashville and improve on their custom lead times, they could conquer the drumming world.

I think I've found the kit for me!

awesome sounding kit! Buuuutttt nothing beats a Yamaha Maple Hybrid :D :D

Finally a Pearl kit that excites me! Sounds great..

I love the low n higher tuning..👍👍👍

impresive!

It's a golden age for Pearl right now. They were great before but wow are they bringing out some awesome products!
