Pearl Session Studio Select Stage 22 Scarlet Ash

Essential Information About the "Scarlet Ash" Acoustic Drum Kit

• 6-ply birch and African mahogany shells (5.4 mm) for a balance between attack, warmth, and projection.


• Versatile rock configuration with 22" x 16" bass drum, 10" x 7" and 12" x 8" toms, 16" x 16" floor tom.


• Optimized playing comfort thanks to Optimount tom suspensions and SuperHoop II die-cast hoops.


• Stage and studio ready with a vented bass drum and integrated mini-muffler (note: stands, cymbals, and snare drum not included).

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

This kit fits the spirit of modern "rock" configurations: standard diameters, a 22-inch bass drum to move air, and toms designed for tunings ranging from medium tight to deep and punchy. The choice of a birch and African mahogany blend aims for a sound that is both powerful and musical, with a response immediately usable in rehearsals as well as recording conditions.

Who This Drum Kit Is For

This shell kit is intended for intermediate to advanced drummers who want a solid foundation for playing in a band, recording, or building a reliable stage setup. The "rock" configuration is particularly suitable for styles requiring impact and presence: rock, hard rock, energetic pop, punk, alternative, and contemporary music where the bass drum needs to remain clear in the mix.

It is also suitable for a progressing drummer looking to invest in serious shells, provided they plan to acquire hardware and cymbals separately, as these are not included. The absence of a snare drum allows the player to keep their preferred model and adjust the overall character (drier, fuller, sharper) depending on the context.
