Pearl DMP925SC-227 Decade Maple Rock 22 - 5 shells - satin slate black

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!

Serious business at less than 1000 euros.
For this series, which is ideal for a good start or for further development without suffering from mediocre quality, the Japanese brand's designers have given priority to the accessories included and, above all, to the maximum number of options and know-how usually reserved for top-of-the-range models, while keeping the buyer's wallet in mind. The use of maple as the only wood species, the design of the fine cross-laminated drums, the lacquered or varnished finishes (five colors including the superb "satin slate black"!) or the matching snare drum, are all criteria that will 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, and Pearl will be on the podium 8 times out of 10. 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. The same can be said for the hardware, which of course differs from the top of the range, but Pearl remains the benchmark for quality and sturdiness in this segment.

Great sound.
With the Decade - and especially with a 22 x 18 inch deep bass drum! - 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, bass and toms... Over time, even changing the skins will open up a whole new world of possibilities. That said, with the Remo Clear UT supplied - particularly for the bass drum with its Powerstroke 3 and pierced resonance - and the sandblasted snare drum skin, there's already plenty to enjoy. And well beyond a decade!
