An all-maple shell pack with pro mounting hardware and a limited marble finish, aimed at the developing drummer. Cymbals, stands and pedals are not part of the listing, so that hardware has to come from elsewhere.

Overview
Not a complete drum kit with cymbals and stands, the Pearl Decade Maple Artisan is a shell pack of maple drums. Toms hang from Opti-Loc mounts on gearless Uni-Lock arms, and the floor tom rests on air suspension feet.
Maple shells, suspended tom mounting and a limited Black Satin Marble veneer bring pro-style features to an up and coming drummer. Everything beyond the drums themselves, from cymbals to the throne, has to be added before it can be played.
Who it's for
Drummers who already own cymbals, stands and pedals and want maple shells with a limited finish are the target here. Beginners starting from nothing will need to add a lot of gear before the first beat.
Pros and cons
- All maple shells throughout
- Suspended toms on Opti-Loc mounts
- Gearless Uni-Lock tom arms
- Air suspension floor tom feet
- Cymbals, stands and pedals sourced separately
- Drum heads and weight not listed
- Only one floor tom in the pack
Performance notes
Tone starts with the maple shells built with Pearl's EvenPly construction, which set the warmth and resonance of each drum. Suspended tom mounting and air suspension feet let the shells ring with less contact damping. Head choice and tuning, neither described here, decide much of the final sound.
