After originally leading the way with hybrid shells in 1970, Pearl is reintroducing these unique sounding drums 45 years after first being released. Fusing together a 7-ply Kapur shell with a hand-laid inner ply of fiberglass, these drums offer a rich blend of tone, warmth and projection. While the tom's offer a sharp 45 degree bearing edge, the bass drum comes with a fully rounded bearing edge resulting in projective highs, gutt punching lows and a balanced decay. The Platinum Mist finish is a beauiful, classy high gloss laquer finish that is sure to make this kit's precense known even before being played by mixing together such equal parts of amazing tonal quality and visual elegance.
