Pearl Masters Maple Complete

Maple drum kit series

Drum kit · Japan

The Masters Maple Complete is a professional Pearl drum series built on the EvenPly-Six shell, a premium six-ply North American maple shell with reduced-thickness, cross-laminated plies. It blends the tonal purity of Pearl's Masters MMX with the projection of the thicker MRX, and ships with triple-flanged SuperHoop II hoops for resonance and articulation.

Canopus Yaiba

Japanese birch and maple kits in vintage sizes

Drum kit · Japan

Yaiba applies Canopus's thin-shell brief to a production kit, in birch and maple, with the small bop and medium sizes the company favours over modern rock dimensions.

Sakae Trilogy

Three-timber hybrid shells

Drum kit · Japan

Trilogy shells combine maple, birch, and beech in one lay-up rather than choosing between them, which Sakae argued gave the attack of birch with maple's low end.
