Pearl Introduces Masters MCX Shell Pack

Our Masters Series MCX 6-ply Maple shell has set the standard for great sound and craftsmanship for years and can be heard on countless recordings by the world's most legendary drummers. In today's economy Pearl understands the need for a great sounding kit with exceptional quality at an affordable price.

NEW for 2008, MCX 4-piece shell packs can be purchased at an average street price of just $1,500 dollars ($2,499.00 List) in your choice of 5 NEW configurations — this is the most affordable price ever! Matching MCX Snare Drums are available separately in your choice of 14"x 5.5" and 14"x6.5" and include the SR-017 Strainer and S-022N Snare Wires.

The heart and soul of MCX is the 6-ply 7.5mm shell, made from hand-selected choice Maple using our Superior Shell Technology. This offers the smooth round tone you would expect from Maple with even highs and mid range frequencies, coupled with pronounced low-end punch.
