The Korena take
Masters Maple Pure revisits Pearl’s 5 mm MMX shell design in a 14 x 6.5 in. snare. Four hand-selected North American maple layers work with four-ply Re-Rings, producing the stated combination of near-field resonance and sharp top-end attack. Pearl also attributes the select maple’s added shell hardness to greater projection, sustain, and output. Mastercast hoops, CL bridge lugs, and the SR017 strainer complete the specified hardware, with Black Oyster Swirl styling.


Strong match
Who this is for
- Professional settings where near-field resonance and a sharp top-end attack are both useful.
- Players seeking the projection, sustain, and output associated with this select-maple shell formula.
