Pearl Decade Maple 5-Piece Shell Pack Black Ice

Pearl’s 70 years of drum craftsmanship culminate in this full Decade Maple 5-piece shell pack, designed to be the perfect drum kit for more experienced players who are ready to step up to the next level. With all-maple shells, professional features and gorgeous lacquer finishes, the Decade series will elevate your drum sound to an elite level better suited to your skills, all at a price previously thought impossible.

Professional drum features at an unheard-of price

After enough practice and experience, every drummer outgrows their starter kit and begins looking for something on a higher tier. The search often brings them into contact with exorbitantly priced high-end drums, or else drums that make huge compromises for the sake of affordability. Pearl designed the Decade Maple shell packs to bridge that gap, offering premium all-maple shells, pro-level hardware and other top-tier features, all at an accessible price for an evolving drummer or gigging pro. And what’s more, the matching snare means you won’t have to go searching for more drums to complete your set—pair this shell pack with some cymbals and hardware, and you’ll be ready to go.

Bold, muted or a mix of both—Decade has a lacquer for every style

Pearl Decade Maple kits come marked with their own unique badge, designed to set them apart from entry-level kits as their own professional series. Compliment the badge with the wide selection of genuine lacquer finishes, including bright solid colors, glossy bursts and matte finishes to accent the woodgrain, and you have a professional look to match the sound—extremely rare in a kit at this price.

A complete shell pack with matching all-maple snare drum

Unlike many other series at this level, Decade Maple offers a full 5-piece shell pack with a matching snare drum. This not only gives the kit a more cohesive tone and look between the toms, bass and snare, but also cuts down significantly on price. Many rising drummers and gigging pros have faced the frustration of paying too much for a standalone snare to complete a shell pack. Just as many have been forced to settle for a snare in a finish that clashes with the other drums, or given up and bought an inferior kit just because it comes with a complete set of matching drums. Pearl knows this struggle, and that’s why the snare in this Decade Maple shell pack is built with the exact same wood, construction and finish as the other drums. The result is everything that the Decade Maple was designed to deliver—no compromises, incredible price.
