Drums

100% of Vater's drumsticks are manufactured in the USA.
All Vater Drumsticks are tone and weight matched by computer analysis.
American Hickory dowels have to meet very strict quality characteristics to be made into a Vater drumstick.
Vater only uses dowels that have a specific moisture content, straightness and grain structure, to produce a higher quality drumstick.

Clean, warm sound, with a defined ping and nice bell. Good for all situations.

Like a great recording made even better, the SABIAN 17" Artisan Crash has been remastered for deeper, warmer, more musically complex tones. Responses are faster, full and packed with tonal colour. The Artisan Crash, with its raw bell design and high-density hand hammering, is truly a masterpiece. The pinnacle of cymbal manufacturing, these fine instruments work superbly in any musical setting, whether Rock, Hip-Hop, R&B or Jazz.

Decade’s low-mass/low-contact shell hardware assures optimum shell performance and rock-solid durability. Features include Uni-Lock gearless tom arms, insulated die-cast claw hooks, R40Air Suspension Floor Tom feet, and a newly-designed mini lug.

Pearl’s 70 years of drum craftsmanship culminate with the kit you’re ready to step up to. With 5.4mm Maple shells, pro-level features, and gorgeous lacquer finishes, Decade elevates your performance at a price that was previously impossible.

Decade’s 6-ply/5.4mm all Maple shell is what sets it apart from the other players in the field. The final product of ten years of process and material refinement, each cross-laminated ply incorporates Pearl’s proprietary Superior Shell Technology. The resulting thin (but powerfully strong) shell reacts quickly to the stroke, producing beautifully resonant highs and thundering lows.

Decade Maple drums are perfect as a primary kit for evolving players, or a secondary “gigging” kit for the seasoned pro.
