Pearl's innovative Vision Series drums provide unmatched value for your hard-earned bucks.
This Pearl VX Vision drum shell pack provides the appropriate drums to build your standard Vision VX kit into a double bass drum monster. It includes a 22" x 18" kick drum, 10" x 8" tom, and a 14" x 14" floor tom.
- 22" x 18" bass drum
- 10" x 8" rack tom
- 14" x 14" floor tom
The Pearl Vision Series features two very different drum shell thicknesses: a 6-ply rack tom and 8-ply bass drum and floor tom, for incredibly balanced sound. Lower frequencies require greater energy to project equally to match the higher frequencies produced by smaller drums. Vision's unique 6/8 technology makes this possible.
Pearl's 60 years of acoustic research has proven that the interior plies of the shell are the key influence to the overall sonic characteristic of the drum. Vision Series exploits this knowledge to the fullest by using two unique shell recipes of birch and basswood. Birch offers a resilient tightly bound network of cells that tend to accelerate rebounding sound waves making it perfect where mid-range to high frequencies are desired. Basswood provides a slightly softer cellulose composition which tends to slow the sound waves, thus promoting mid-range to low-frequency response. By adjusting the overall balance of one ingredient to the other allows a fine-tuning of frequency response much like Pearl's Reference Series.
Optimized Drum Shell Configuration The fundamental thought behind Pearl's Award-winning Reference Series was to optimize every component of your kit to respond to its full potential within the confines of its respective frequency range. This was achieved through the usage of premium wood composition and shell thickness via strategic variance in the type and amount of plies. This same spirit of innovation is now available to the emerging musician in the Pearl Vision Series.
SST Drum Shell Design Vision series drums offer a sonically advanced recipe of strategically arranged plies of premium wood to maximize frequency response in every component. As with all Pearl drums, each shell is formed from Pearl's SST construction process that uses extreme heat, precision-cut scarf joints, Pearl's proprietary Acoustiglue, and over 1000lb. of hydraulic pressure to create the ultimate acoustic air chamber.
