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,
