WOOD FIBERGLASS
As musical tastes shifted at the dawn of the 1970’s, Pearl’s
newly-developed Wood/Fiberglass drums quickly became
a studio mainstay for players looking for a louder, fatter, brighter
sound. This unique synthetic-fusion shell helped define the
sound of an era, and continues to be a popular collectible today.
Now, to bring this classic tone back for today’s roots-conscious
player, Pearl salutes the shell that helped put us on the map
with a limited production run of Wood/Fiberglass drum sets.
The articulate highs, full-bodied projection, and thumping lows
are all here with modern craftsmanship, style,
and functionality.
THE SHELL
True to the legacy set by their innovative forefathers, new Wood/Fiberglass drums’ 7-ply Kapur shell features an inner layer of Fiberglass that is hand-applied and lacquered through a painstakingly precise
process. To further sculpt the tone of these unique drums, a sharp 45-degree edge is cut on the toms of each kit, while the bass drum features a fully-rounded edge. This brings focus to Kapur wood’s darker tonal qualities and accentuates the sonic cut of Fiberglass; delivering a unique combination of warmth, projection, and focused decay.
