Frequently Asked Questions
The Decade lacks the extreme clarity and projection of the Masters Series, offering a more rounded, warmer tone characteristic of maple.
While they can handle it, the maple construction leans towards warmer tones, so you might need to EQ to achieve a more aggressive sound.
It comes with standard Pearl lugs, designed for compatibility with most industry-standard tom mounts and brackets.
