The Masters Mahogany Classic features 4 ply 5mm African Mahogany shells with maple reinforcement rings that recreates the super deep lows, extreme warmth and incredible richness of classic vintage drums. Only African Mahogany is capable of producing this sound and only Pearl makes drums from this legendary wood. MHX mounted toms feature MasterCast die cast hoops for improved attack, focus, and noticeably clearer definition. Mounted toms also include Pearl's OptiMount Suspension System featuring four-point mounting for unparalleled stability, resonance and sustain. MHX mounted toms are available in standard, alternative, and power depths from 8" to 16" in diameter. Bass drums are equipped with Masters die cast D-054 claws with rubber lining to protect the beauty of the high-gloss finished hoops. Recessed tension rods prevent accidental tuning changes and permit snag-proof entry and removal when using cases. Masters Mahogany Classic are formed using Pearl’s exclusive Heat/Compression Shell Molding System that employs high temperatures and pressure to create the strongest, most resonant shells in the world. All Pearl shells feature overlapping seams with no gaps thus allowing the shells to vibrate uniformly, unencumbered by air pockets, for superior tone and sonic purity. Two MHX snare drums are offered: the MHX-1455S (14"x5.5") and MHX-1465S (14"x6.5"). Both feature:
6 ply 7.5mm 100% maple shells for outstanding attack and presence, MasterCast die cast hoops,
SR-017 vertical pull strainer, bridge lugs, NEW Stainless Steel tension rods with brass
tension receivers, and Remo Ambassador heads.
Drums are available in components and are priced equally to Masters Maple 6 ply and 4 ply drums.
