ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, OPTIONAL EXTRAS AND PRICING Pearl Masters Premium Legend (MPL) – Technical Specification In 2011 Pearl Drums released the Masters Premium Legend drum set. This new set has evolved from 20 years of the Pearl Masters range and can be described as a more open, clean and warm sound, reminiscent of classic drums of the 70s.
There are two key factors which create the warm, open Legend sound; 1. The all new MPL uses 6 plies of 0.9mm thick maple to give a 5.4mm shell with 45 degree bearing edges. 2. Masters Legend Series includes Pearl’s revolutionary Fat Tone Hoops on all toms and floor toms. These new thin hoops have hemmed and welded edges resulting in a hoop that is both lightweight and extremely strong to enhance resonance. The Legend Series also features upgraded low mass aluminium Opti-Mounts, Masterworks / Reference bass drum spurs, bass drum claws, floor tom legs and leg brackets. Pearl Masters Drum sizes are as follows: Premium Legend • 24x14 bass drum • 15x10 tom drum set • 10x8 tom • 16x16 floor tom • 12x9 tom • 18x16 floor tom £4,999 • 13x10 tom • Ian Paice 14x6.5 Signature Snare • 14x10 tom • 5 x TH1000I Tom Holders
