Description

Up for sale is a powerhouse Pearl Reference Series 4-piece shell pack in the striking, deep Granite Sparkle finish.

The Reference series is engineered from the ground up to optimize each drum's specific acoustic role using Pearl's custom shell blend formula:

• 10" Tom: 6-ply (4 plies Maple / 2 plies Birch) with rounded 45° bearing edges for cutting attack and clarity.
• 12" Tom: 6-ply (100% Maple) with rounded 45° bearing edges for warm, singing mid-range tone.
• 16" Floor Tom: 8-ply (2 plies Maple / 6 plies African Mahogany) with fully rounded bearing edges for thunderous low end.
• 22" Bass Drum: 8-ply (2 plies Maple / 6 plies African Mahogany) with fully rounded bearing edges for immense sub-bass punch and presence.

Equipped with Pearl's heavy-duty MasterCast die-cast hoops, low-contact BRL swivel bridge lugs, and Aluminum OptiMount suspension brackets, these drums offer rock-solid tuning stability, maximum projection, and exceptional dynamic range.

Shell Dimensions (Diameter x Depth):

• Bass Drum: 22" x 18" (Virgin shell for full low-end resonance)
