Franklin Drum Company 3-Piece Maple Shell Pack - Vintage Pearl

As the house lights dim and the band counts off the first song, the Franklin Drum Company 3-piece Maple Shell Pack immediately commands attention with its timeless Vintage Pearl finish, signature gold Franklin script badges and classic black bass drum hoops. Inspired by the look and feel of vintage-era drums, this versatile shell pack pairs traditional aesthetics with modern performance through proprietary 5.8 mm, 5-ply maple/poplar shells and a warm, musical bearing-edge design featuring a roundover exterior and 45-degree interior cut. Equipped with premium Remo drumheads throughout, vintage-style bass drum spurs, beavertail lugs and 2.3 mm triple-flange hoops, this Guitar Center Exclusive Franklin shell pack delivers rich tone, reliable tuning stability and unmistakable character for the stage, studio and beyond.

Built around proprietary 5.8 mm, 5-ply maple/poplar shells, the Franklin Vintage Pearl shell pack delivers a warm, balanced voice that performs equally well in live and studio settings. Maple contributes clarity, projection and articulation, while poplar adds smoothness and tonal warmth, creating a versatile sound that adapts easily to a wide variety of musical styles. The shells' roundover exterior and 45-degree interior bearing-edge profile increases shell-to-head contact for a fuller fundamental note, enhanced resonance and the rich, vintage-inspired character many drummers seek.

The shell pack features a practical three-piece setup consisting of a 22x14" bass drum, 13x9" rack tom and 16x16" floor tom. This versatile configuration delivers plenty of punch and low-end authority while maintaining a streamlined footprint that's easy to transport and quick to set up. Whether playing classic rock, blues, country, indie or modern pop, the combination of warm maple/poplar shells and thoughtfully selected drum sizes provides the flexibility needed for a broad range of musical applications.

High-quality appointments throughout the shell pack contribute to dependable performance and authentic vintage-inspired tone. Beavertail lugs and 2.3 mm triple-flange hoops provide excellent tuning stability while allowing the shells to resonate freely, while vintage-style bass drum spurs offer secure placement on stage. Premium Remo drumheads come factory-installed, including Ambassador Vintage coated and coated Ambassador heads on the toms, a Powerstroke 3 coated bass drum batter head and an Ambassador Fiberskyn bass drum resonant head. Handcrafted in Minnesota, included are the three drums, bass drum spurs and floor tom legs required for setup and performance. As a true shell pack, no additional hardware is included, allowing drummers to pair the kit with their preferred stands, pedal, throne, cymbals and mounting solutions for a fully customized setup.
