SESSION STUDIO SELECT
A COMPLETELY FRESH TAKE ON THE FULL-SPECTRUM SOUND.
An elite percussion instrument ripe with vintage feel, Session Studio Select strikes a powerful musical balance between warmth and punch.
SHELL
A UNIQUE SONIC DICHOTOMY
Taking a tip from the Masterworks spectrum, Session Studio Select’s unparalleled shell combination of Masters-grade hardwood (4-ply Birch outer) and softer imported tonewood (2-ply African Mahogany inner) strikes a unique tonal dichotomy between top-end power and warm controlled resonance.
Using the world's first high temperature hydraulic curing system, Pearl’s SST method was developed to craft a multi-ply, bonded drum shell with single-ply resonance and strength.
This proprietary technique begins with hand-selected premium hardwoods chosen for their unique acoustic attributes.
Each layer is milled to precise thickness and bonded into 2-ply panels.
Our trademark overlapping scarf joint seams are added to ensure a perfect air-tight fit. The wood plies are saturated with Pearl’s exclusive “AcoustiGlue”, which permeates every pore and dries to the exact consistency of the wood for optimum resonance.
Finally, the plies are formed in high temperature molds with 1000 PSI of hydraulic pressure, producing the ultimate air chamber for optimal resonance, extreme strength, and superior tone.
All shells are tested for flatness and roundness before drilling and assembly to assure supreme head-seating and tuning.
EvenPly-Six Birch/Mahogany Shell
6-ply (5.4mm) shell comprised of four outer plies of Masters-grade Birch, and two inner plies of African Mahogany.
Outer 60° Bearing Edge
The pre-EQ'd, darker toned shell is augmented with a more shallow Bearing Edge for focused, deep pitched growl and pop.
AN EFFICIENT, LUXURIOUS COMPLEMENT.
The Session tradition of value lives on with a strong hardware selection that holds up to the heaviest strike of the stick.
RL Lugs
A simple, sleek lug that adds weight to the shell for increased volume.
OptiMount Tom Isolation System
A solid, flexible four point suspension mount for prime shell resonance.
