Introducing Reference One The Best Elements from Both Reference Recipes. Delivering the best features of Pearl's original Reference and Reference Pure Series drums, Reference One is an uncompromised, total percussion instrument where every element combines to create a drum sound you've never experienced. Uncompromised Sound and Quality. Each reduced-thickness EvenPly shell in the Reference One set is fitted with MasterCast Die-Cast hoops for a radical combination of sustain and attack. Included with Reference One, Pearl’s R2 Air Tom Suspension System delivers perfectly balanced, weightless tom mounting for high-yield tonal clarity. The Reference One Experience. The Reference One shell and hardware Recipe elevate the professional drum set experience with shells that are tuned to draw the best tones from of each drum. 8" and 10" shells are EvenPly-6 (5.4mm) Maple/Birch for more attack and higher pitch. The 12" tom (the "Middle-C" in the Reference tom spectrum) is all Maple for the tonal center. 13," and larger toms add Mahogany inner plies to lower pitch and add tonal depth. Floor Toms and Bass Drums are an 8-ply Mahogany/Maple fusion to maximize bass frequencies. The Reference Recipe: Engineered to Produce Sonic Excellence. The foundation of the Modern Hybrid Drum Concept.

Sonically Proven Performance Prime Maple, Birch, and Mahogany panels from our Masterworks vault. Nuanced Near Field Sound Increased resonance, bottom end, and tone from the heads to your ears. SHELLS INDIVIDUALLY ENGINEERED TO MAKE YOU SOUND (AND PLAY) BETTER. Derived from the shell blends of the sonically optimized Reference Recipe, each Reference One drum shell is comprised of thin premium wood layers. The resulting EvenPly shells beautifully capture every nuance of your unrestrained drumming voice. WHAT'S INSIDE: Discover the Elements of Superior Drum Tone. It Starts with Superior Shell Technology. Using the worlds 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 roundess before drilling and assembly to assure supreme head-seating and tuning. The Acoustic Properties of Reference Shell Woods. The Reference Recipe draws from each wood's acoustic strengths. By blending panels from three time-proven hardwoods, each drum can perform to its intended task at optimal capacity. Shell Woods Maple Maple's rich lustrous lows and evenly-balanced mid and high frequencies have made it the preferred hardwood for wide sonic range and acoustic balance, and the most accepted premium drum shell material. Its fine grain and smooth, even texture also make it an excellent canvas for transparent finishes. Birch A straight grained wood with a fine, even texture, Birch is known for its strength and resilience. It provides a lively interior springboard for sound waves, which in turn creates a noticeable increase in the higher frequencies. This makes it the perfect interior for smaller tom-toms. Birch’s tightly bound network of cells also promotes a perfect balance of mid-range frequencies, with a smooth transition from the lower register to middle register. African Mahogany African Mahogany is a relatively “soft” hardwood that dramatically boosts lower frequencies. This bass boost effect is likely due to its loosely packed cellulose network, creating a natural resonator for powerful lower frequencies. This predisposition for powerful lows and bass response makes it a logical tonewood for larger toms and bass drums and smooth sonic transition into the mid-range frequencies. Tonally-Optimized Blended Shells Accentuating the Pure Nature of Each Drum. Reference One 8" and 10" drum shells combine Maple and Birch for more attack and higher pitch. The 12" tom (the 'Middle-C' in the Reference One tom scale) is composed of 6 plies of Maple for added body. 13" tom and larger Reference One toms feature added Mahogany interior plies to increase lower pitch and accentuate Maple's tonal warmth. Bass drums feature a thicker fusion of Mahogany and Maple for the ultimate bass frequency response, proving that it’s not about compromise with Reference One. It’s about every drum in your kit performing at its optimal capacity. BEARING EDGE Standard 45° Pearl's standard 45° bearing edge creates a tightly focused shell contact area. This creates an ultimate sonic balance between power, sensitivity, volume, and resonance. Rounded 45° The Rounded 45° bearing edge creates an increased level of contact between the shell and shoulder of the head, increasing attack, projection, and sonic punch. It also creates a balanced interaction between each wood ply, allowing smaller toms to sing with amazing clarity, without premature delay. The journey of the energy from the head to the shell is given a much more direct path with the rounded edge. Fully Round The Fully Rounded bearing edge raises the overall contact area from the shell to the head. This allows maximum kinetic energy transfer from the strike, resulting in maximum punch and wide low-end response. This creates sound pressure levels that are felt just as much as they are heard, making it excellent for bass drums and larger toms to increase punch. Shell Thickness and Bearing Edge Task-Specific Edges The 45° bearing edge on Reference One 8" to 13" toms receives a rounded apex to increase head contact and add a degree of tonal control. Drums 14" and larger combine a fully rounded bearing edge and Even 8-ply shell for increased shell/head contact and low-end sonic emphasis. Finally, Reference One Snare Drums EvenPly-Six Maple/Birch snare utilizes Pearl's standard 45-degree edge for sharp, focused spike and sensitivity.
