Introducing Reference One – The Reference Legacy Unleashed. By leveraging specific woods, shell thicknesses, and bearing edges exactly where they are most sonically beneficial within a drum set, Pearl’s Reference Series originated the modern hybrid drum concept. Building upon this recipe and adding revolutionary enhancements in mounting and shell hardware, Pearl takes the hybrid drum concept to new, unprecedented heights. Every element of each drum in the Reference One drum set’s construction is fine-tuned to deliver optimal performance, from the wood type and thickness of each shell to the bearing edge. Delivering the best elements from Pearl’s historic Reference and Reference Pure Series drums, its reduced-thickness EvenPly shells are fitted with MasterCast Die-Cast hoops, for a radical combination sustain and attack. This Reference One shell pack features a 10×8 tom, 12×9 tom, 16×16 floor tom, and 22×18 bass drum in Pearl’s Kobalt Blue Fade Metallic Custom Finish, and includes the R2 Air Tom Suspension System for perfectly balanced tom mounting and high-yield tonal clarity. This demo model has a very minor ding on the batter side bass drum hoop. Please note: This is a shell pack only.
