USING THE WORLD'S FIRST HIGH TEMPERATURE HYDRAULIC CURING SYSTEM, PEARL’S SST METHOD WAS DEVELOPED TO CRAFT A MULTI-PLY, BONDED DRUM SHELL WITH SINGLE-PLY RESONANCE AND STRENGTH.

THIS PROPRIETARY TECHNIQUE BEGINS WITH HAND-SELECTED PREMIUM HARDWOODS CHOSEN FOR THEIR UNIQUE ACOUSTIC ATTRIBUTES.

EACH LAYER IS MILLED TO PRECISE THICKNESS AND BONDED INTO 2-PLY PANELS.

OUR TRADEMARK OVERLAPPING SCARF JOINT SEAMS ARE ADDED TO ENSURE A PERFECT AIR-TIGHT FIT. THE WOOD PLIES ARE SATURATED WITH PEARL’S EXCLUSIVE “ACOUSTIGLUE”, WHICH PERMEATES EVERY PORE AND DRIES TO THE EXACT CONSISTENCY OF THE WOOD FOR OPTIMUM RESONANCE.

THE SESSION TRADITION OF VALUE LIVES ON WITH A STRONG HARDWARE SELECTION THAT HOLDS UP TO THE HEAVIEST STRIKE OF THE STICK.

TO GIVE SESSION DRUMS THE FLEXIBILITY PLAYERS NEED TO GET THE JOB DONE, ALL SHELL HARDWARE ELEMENTS ARE CURATED FOR TUNING STABILITY, SOUND IMPROVEMENT, AND RUGGED DURABILITY. 

THESE INCLUDE SP30 BASS DRUM SPURS WITH SPRING LOADED RETRACTABLE SPIKE, SESSION-STYLE RL LUGS, BRIDGE-STYLE LB40 FLOOR TOM BRACKETS, OPTIMOUNT FOUR-POINT TOM SUSPENSION MOUNTS, R40 AIR SUSPENSION FLOOR TOM FEET, DIE-CAST BASS DRUM CLAWS, AND SUPERHOOP II TRIPLE-FLANGED HOOPS.

EACH OF THESE HARDWARE PIECES LENDS NOT ONLY TO THE TUNING AND FUNCTION OF EACH DRUM, BUT ALSO TO THE OVERALL SOUND OF THE TOTAL DRUM KIT.
