Pearl Reference One 4-Piece Shell Pack (22,10,12,16) with Chrome Pipe - Cherry Amber Fade

The Reference Legacy... Unleashed.
Where the Many Combine to Create a Singular Instrument.

Delivering the best features of Pearl's original Reference and Reference Pure Series drums, Reference One is an uncompromised, total percussion instrument where every element combines to create a drum sound you've never experienced before.

Each reduced-thickness EvenPly shell in the Reference One set is fitted with MasterCast Die-Cast hoops, for a radical combination sustain and attack. Included with Reference One, Pearls R2 Air Tom Suspension System delivers perfectly balanced, weightless tom mounting for high-yield tonal clarity.

The Reference One shell and hardware Recipe elevate the professional drum set experience with shells that are tuned to draw the best tones from of each drum. 8" and 10" shells are EvenPly-6 (5.4mm) Maple/Birch for more attack and higher pitch. The 12" tom (the "Middle-C" in the Reference tom spectrum,) is all Maple for tonal center. 13" and larger toms add Mahogany inner plies to lower pitch and add tonal depth. Floor Toms and Bass Drums are an 8-ply Mahogany/Maple fusion to maximize bass frequencies.
