Reference & Reference Pure<\/h3>\n

The Pearl Reference Kit is a high end drum shell pack and hardware set that is produced with Pearl\u2019s higher quality process and components.  This includes manufacturing the drum shells with Pearl\u2019s Superior Shell Technology<\/strong> (SST) and utilizing high quality woods such as birch, maple and mahogany.<\/p>\n

Quality bearing edges die cast hoops, and Remo heads are additional components that add to the excellence of these drums when they ship.  Reference snares are available in three (3) sizes and also come in brass and steel options on top birch and maple wood.<\/p>\n

Reference drum kits come in three (3) predesigned configurations and are typically priced in the mid $3,000<\/strong> dollar range depending on package and size of drums.<\/p>\n

The differences with the Reference Pure<\/strong> is that it uses thicker (.9mm) plies throughout the construction of the drum shells and utilizes more lightweight lugs and hardware.<\/p>\n

Masterworks<\/h3>\n

Pearl Masterworks drum kits are Pearl\u2019s top of the line custom handmade <\/strong>drums.  Crafting a set of Masterworks shells begins by selecting the wood and Pearl offers, 100% maple, birch and African mahogany as well as hybrid composite and carbon ply shells.  The shells are made with Pearl\u2019s Superior Shell Technology (SST) which involves air tight fit with overlapping scarf joint seam and Pearl\u2019s proprietary AcoustiGlue<\/em> and high temp molds with 1000 PSI hydraulic pressure.<\/p>\n

The bearing edge on the shell is also hand selected can be tweaked to a 45 degree , 45 round and full round bearing edge.  Shell thickness is also customized offering the drummer with thin shell (4ply), medium shell (6-ply) and thick shell (8 or 10 ply) options.<\/p>\n

Masterworks snares see further custom options with solid ply shells all the way up to 20 ply.  Drum shell hardware also features many customization options including color option of chrome, gold<\/strong> or black chrome.  The drummer also gets to choose which hoops as well lugs or mounting brackets that go on the shells.<\/p>\n

As Masterworks shell packs are widely diverse, pricing them can be fairly difficult.  Additionally depending on the order Masterworks kits can take 6 months or a year to be complete.  While some Masterworks shell packs can be found for as little as $2,000<\/strong> used, it is not uncommon to find packs at $7,000 <\/strong>and up.<\/p>\n
