PEARL Reference Series in 'Ivory Pearl' 13 16 22 Soundcheck by Bryan Macaranas
Музыка
Having recorded the kit within a 'play through', now it's time to record the drums by themselves. I wanted to be able to check the tones out of these Pearl Reference shells, and perhaps check out the nuances, ideal tuning, and response to tweaks and playing style. I can truly understand why the Reference Series is a fave by most Pearl players. It's so 'woody' in character, end definitely a good balance of warmth and projection. Killer sounding drums. The 16x16 floor tom needed a bit of taming down; so much boom!
Recorded at Dirty Laundry Studios Brisbane QLD, Australia JULY 2024

Love the warm tones of Pearl drums. Those toms are beautifully resonant.
The problem with Pearl drums, is they have so many top lines of drums, you have no clue what to buy lol they're all so amazing sounding. Sonor has SQ1/2, DW has collectors series, Tama has their Star line and so on. Pearl just hits you with like 5 different families that are astounding lol
Are these made of birch?

Nope, a mix of different woods depending on the size of the shell... check it out on the website, it's a whole thing

From what I know its a blend of Maple / Birch & Mahogany and barrowing the concept from their Masterworks program, they change the mix as the size of the shell changes.
