Pearl Session Studio Select Series 5-Piece Shell Pack Black Halo Glitter

Pearl's Session Studio Select Series 5-Piece Shell Pack provides professional drummers and home studio musicians alike with warm, resonant tone and innovative design. Crafted from 5.4 mm six-ply Masters-grade birch and African mahogany, these premium shells produce rich, round sound with focused attack. Their thin profile reduces weight while maximizing sustain and projection, capturing the nuances of your playing. The Session Studio Select Series brings Pearl's 20-year legacy of studio-focused drum sets to ambitious drummers seeking pro-level performance and sound quality.

Thin EvenPly Shells Resonate with Harmonic Depth

Pearl's Masters-grade birch and African mahogany EvenPly shells measure just 5.4 mm thick, producing warm lows, clear mids, and crisp highs. Their thin profile reduces weight while maximizing sustain and projection, capturing the nuances of your playing. The four-ply birch inner core provides focused attack and the two-ply mahogany outer veneers add enveloping warmth. Together, these tonewoods achieve a studio-ready balance of power and depth.

60-Degree Bearing Edges Enhance Articulation

Pearl's 60-degree bearing edges, cut into the inner and outer veneers of each shell, increase contact between the drumhead and shell. This design enhances articulation and focus while boosting volume. The sharp inner edge also helps vent air pressure from inside the shell, producing a throaty, resonant tone with substantial low end.

2.3 mm SuperHoop II Rims Hold Tune

Triple-flanged 2.3 mm steel SuperHoop II rims provide rigid drumhead support. Their sturdy yet streamlined design helps the drum hold tune even under demanding playing conditions. SuperHoop IIs mount to the shells using Pearl's OptiMount suspension system which attaches at multiple points around the circumference of each drum. This mounting style maximizes shell resonance by reducing hardware contact.

Lifetime Warranty and Premium Hardware

Pearl covers the Session Studio Select Series with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. Remo drumheads provide a resonant sound out of the box while robust hardware including bass drum spurs, floor tom legs, and tom mounts withstand the rigors of touring and studio use.
