Pearl Introduces 5 New Products

Masters MCX Series - The Masters MCX Series features a 6-ply 100% maple shell constructed using Pearl's exclusive SST Superior Shell Technology and carries a limited lifetime warranty. While Masters Premium is a special order series, Masters MCX will be in stock ready-to-go in five shell pack configurations. MCX delivers the same legendary Masters quality you've come to expect including MasterCast Die Cast hoops on the toms and Masters Bridge Lugs along with Pearl's OptiMount Tom mounting system. Matching Maple snares are available in 14 x 5.5" and 14 x 6.5" depths with Die Cast hoops. MCX is available in two high gloss lacquer finishes: Black Silk and Chestnut Fade and three Delmar warps: bronze glass, red glass and pewter glass.

Vision Series - The Vision Series uses the same advanced science as the Reference Series to optimize each component of your kit to respond with perfect articulation in its respective frequency range. This is achieved through the science of 6/8 SST Birch ply shell construction. Rack toms utilize 6 ply shells while floor toms and bass drums are composed of 8 ply shells, an impressive .5" . Vision Series comes standard with two ply ProTone heads for incredible depth and ease of tuning right out of the box. A beautifully chrome plated beaded steel SensiTone snare drum is included with each kit, and is complimented with the all new 900 Series hardware, packed with professional features from Pearl's award winning Advanced Hardware Systems. Vision VSX is available in five durable covered finishes and Vision VLX offers four high gloss lacquer finishes.

PTC1175 Travel Conga - Pearl's new PTC1175 Travel Conga delivers real conga sound from a compact 11.75" x 3.5" drum that can be carried literally in a backpack. The wood shell and stave construction is identical to our full-size congas and the Remo FiberSkyn 3 synthetic head yields outstanding tone while resisting fluctuations from changes in temperature or humidity. Five precision Allen bolts provide accurate and easy tuning via the included foam-handle Allen wrench. The Travel Conga can be played on your lap or mounted on a snare stand and integrated into your drumset or percussion set-up.

Richie Flores Congas - Designed by one of the most technically proficient conga players around, Pearl's Richie Flores Signature Oak Congas feature the exclusive "vertical" fade Lunar Eclipse finish transitions from dazzling Silver to rich Midnight Blue dusted in stellar sparks as you turn the drums. Fade your congas from left to right, right to left, all Silver Sparkle or all Midnight Blue Sparkle. The color possibilities are limitless! Thai Oak shells with Contour Crown Rims, Natural Buffalo skins, brilliant chrome-plated hardware, and our exclusive Self-Aligning Washer System (S.A.W.S.) for effortless tuning round out the features of these beautiful instruments. Richie's signature series will surely catch the eyes and ears of all styles of percussionists.

Marc Quinones Signature Timbale/Snare - The Marc Quinones Signature Q-Popper 12" x 5" Timbale Snare is perfect for accenting a traditional Salsa group, as well as an auxiliary add-on to your drum set. With the snares on it "pops" with all the characteristics of a small metal snare drum, yet throw the snares off (via the SR-018 style strainer) and you have an awesome timbale to spark Caribbean flavor to your sound. The Q-Popper matches Marc's Signature steel timbales and comes standard with the NEW PPS-36 Angled Post Adaptor to conveniently mount it off any cymbal or hi-hat stand.
