> Optimized Shell Configuration
Maple is a fine grain wood with a smooth, even texture. This highly respected wood offers a very wide dynamic range with extremely well balanced acoustic properties. Rich lustrous lows, with an even balance of mid tones and high frequencies, have made Maple the shell material of choice in the acoustic drum industry for many years.
6/8 Shells
Vision drumsets feature two very different shell thicknesses: 6 plies on rack toms and 8 plies on bass drums and floor toms, for incredibly balanced sound. Larger drums require more energy to project as much as smaller drums, so Pearl increased the shell thickness of the floor toms and bass drums on all Vision drums to give you clarity, control and balance throughout the drumset.
SST Shell Design
Vision Series offers a sonically advanced recipe of strategically arranged plies of premium wood to maximize frequency response of every component. As with all Pearl drums, each shell is formed from our legendary SST construction process that uses extreme heat, Precision-cut scarf joints, our proprietary Acoustiglue and over 1000lbs of hydraulic pressure to create the ultimate acoustic air chamber.
