About Masterworks Artisan.
Pearl's Masterworks line of drums represents the fruition of over 60 years of acoustic drum research and craftsmanship. Pearl's patented Heat Compression Shell Molding Process, or HC/sms as it's known, takes these outstanding hand selected wood plies, adds an exclusive adhesive formulation, extreme heat and constant cylindrical pressure, and produces the finest, most consistent drum shells on the market today.

Maple, Birch and Mahogany.
Maple is a favorite wood used for drum shell construction. Its evenly distributed lows, highs and mid range frequencies makes it ideal for all around applications.
Pearl's maple is from North America and like all the woods Pearl offer, it is hand-selected to meet Pearl's stringent requirements for proper density, age, and consistency of grain and color. Birch drums have built a cult like following over the years due to their naturally 'EQed' tone. Pearl's Scandinavian Birch shells feature slightly boosted high frequencies, smooth mids, and a good low end punch.
Drums made of this wood are ideal for applications requiring extra presence and cut. Mahogany was the industry standard shell material for over fifty years and one listen will tell you why. Few companies today offer this excellent wood for drum shell manufacture. Pearl's African Mahogany is extremely rich in low end frequencies, with beautifully smooth mids and a slight roll-off in the higher frequencies. Without question, if your main requirements are 'bottom' and punch, African Mahogany should be your wood of choice.

To understand these drums you must accept that the desired tonal characteristics of a rack tom are completely different than that of a bass drum, and to make these drums with the same composition would result in a compromise. The shells of the Pearl Masterworks Spiderweb Artisan have been blended to allow maximum tonal response, maximising the tonal potential of each drum depending on its size and depth.
