The Decade Maple is the culmination of 70 years of experience in the art of creating drum kits. And if this new kit is named Decade, it’s no coincidence: Pearl took 10 years to design a mid-range drum kit contained within such a tight budget. Just consider: 100% maple shells, glossy or matte finishes, new lightweight lugs, stands and accessories included, etc.
Intended for beginners seeking an evolving kit as well as semi-pros looking for a second kit reserved for small venues, the Decade Maple will satisfy a large majority of drummers through the sound of its maple but also through its incredibly low price.
With the Decade Maple, Pearl revolutionizes the market to the point that it could easily be called an Export in maple. A new legend is born!
The Pearl Decade Maple Artisan stands out as a drum set that embodies Pearl’s excellence by combining sound quality, refined design, and high-level hardware. Here is a detailed presentation highlighting its strengths:
1. Maple: a noble material for exceptional sound
The shells of the Decade Maple Artisan are made from 100% maple with an EvenPly-Six construction (six plies). This wood is renowned for its ability to produce a warm and balanced sound, rich in harmonics. Maple offers excellent sound projection, making it a favorite choice among professional drummers to adapt to various musical styles, from jazz to rock to pop.
45° bearing edges optimize the contact between the drumhead and the shell, allowing for a quick and precise response as well as smooth resonance. This construction guarantees exceptional sensitivity, ideal for capturing every nuance of playing.
2. Elegant and luxurious finishes
The Decade Maple Artisan also impresses with its genuine exotic wood veneer finishes. The Satin Caramel Veil (#876) is enhanced by a satin lacquer. This finish provides a sophisticated and modern aesthetic, making this set a true gem on stage or in the studio.
Each shell is carefully crafted to combine performance and style, allowing the drum kit to stand out both in appearance and sound.
3. High-performance and robust hardware pack
The Pearl Decade Maple Artisan is equipped with high-quality hardware features that facilitate playing and adjustment:
Uni-Lock tom arms: allow precise and effortless adjustment of the tom angles. Opti-Loc suspension system: with three attachment points, this system ensures optimal stability while preserving the natural resonance of the shells. Compact NDL lugs: allow precise tuning and contribute to a sleek design.
These hardware elements are designed to meet the needs of demanding drummers, offering comfort and reliability during every session.
4. The Pearl sound: an unmatched signature
For decades, Pearl has been recognized for its ability to produce drum kits that combine musicality and power. The Decade Maple Artisan is no exception:
Maple shells generate deep lows, clear mids, and sparkling highs. The snare drum is equipped with 20 strands, offering a sensitive and precise response, ideal for subtle passages or sharp accents. The SR-700/C trigger ensures smooth and reliable action, even during the most dynamic playing.
Whether on stage or in the studio, the Pearl sound is immediately recognizable and adapts to all contexts.
In conclusion: an investment in musical excellence
The Pearl Decade Maple Artisan is much more than a drum kit. It combines:
Exceptional sound thanks to maple. A unique aesthetic thanks to its refined finishes. Robust and innovative hardware designed to last.
It represents the ideal choice for demanding drummers seeking to combine performance, aesthetics, and reliability. With the Decade Maple Artisan, Pearl once again demonstrates why it remains an essential reference in the world of drums.
