The hardest rock maple from slow-growth dense inner forest trees in North America is a byword for expensive drums. Each of the six plies is the same 0.9mm, making this is an even-ply shell, with the same lay-up as Pearl's Reference Pure. So the DMP's maple shells are also 6-ply, but just 5.4mm thick. The thing about the new DMP is that the shells are thinner. The Vision did too (with even thicker bass drums and floor toms). Pearl's 'normal' 7.5mm Export shell combines three 1.6mm with three 0.9mm plies. This guarantee is significant because ever since Stagg produced the first budget Chinese maple kit back in the 1990s, the assumption has been that budget maple kits must involve a rather less durable quality of maple. The big selling point is the thin 100 percent maple shells, and Pearl claims this is the first all-maple lacquered drumset in this price range to carry a lifetime guarantee. The kit is defined by its new shells and new lugs.
