Pearl Midtown Drum Set 4-Pc Shell Pack-Pure White (MDT764P/C33)

Product Information

Birch, maple, and mahogany are the most common wood types used in drum construction for higher-quality and higher-priced drum kits. Then I moved to the wrap. Everything seems in uniform and well bonded. Not even with some prodding and prying along the seams did I find any problem. The wrap is of high quality, featuring gleaming surfaces with a uniform appearance. Mahogany, maple, and birch are examples of higher-quality woods. These are used in pro drum kits, and they give much better sounds to the drums.

The type of wood that the drum shells are made of determines the sound of the drums. It also determines how much they cost. I’ve always thought that this kit is underrated, as it doesn’t get the same amount of attention as most other Pearl kits, but it’s a stunning option that I loved playing. The hardwood drum shells are durable and well-constructed, with precisely cut bearing edges too. It’s also worth noting that visually this mini drum set looks great, too! It’s got a sparkle wrap that looks attractive. Our initial positive first impressions are greatly re-enforced after a thorough inspection of Quality and Tolerances. Sometimes you might get overwhelmed by a drum kit’s appearance that you assume it’s good already. This is the same feeling I got with Pearl Midtown. Since it comes from a reputable brand, I was already expecting it to deliver good sounds.For instance, Sonor has been selling its High-end Select Force Jungle for several years now. And this configuration has surged in popularity and demand, compelling other players to come into the picture. It was only a matter of time before they added the “Safari” as the entry-level kit. Ludwig came up strong also, taking an even more massive chunk of the market when they started selling the Ludwig Breakbeats. The Midtown shows tolerances as you would expect in an intermediate solution. Every shell comes less than 1-mm’ out-of-round.’ Also, the ‘trueness’ of the bearing edges was with one mm with the whole kit.

I actually have two friends who both own this set. One uses it as a 4-piece while the other uses the full 7-piece setup. That just shows how versatile it is.The Pearl Masters Complete drums feature EvenPly 6 ply maple shells that are lighter and stronger than the original Masters series drums.

Pearl says, “at home, on the street as well as on stage, the Ultra-portable Midtown kit is vital for the gigging drummer in the metropolitan groove.”You can tell a quality drumset right from the first glance. It is the impression it gives you, then that should tell you what you need to know. And Pearl Midtown is no different. The build quality of the Pearl Midtown drum set is brilliant. The drums are engineered to produce a big sound, and the hardware adorned on the drums is reliable and functional. The lugs and hoops are solid, and the OptiLoc suspension system is a treat to use!
