Based on the original Vision formula, VSX features blended birch-ply shells with 6/8 shell technology. Lower frequencies require greater energy to project equally to match the high frequencies produced by smaller drums. Vision's combination of six-ply rack toms and eight-ply floor toms and bass drums deliver a dynamically balanced sound. Pearl offers 9 standard Vision configurations, more than any other drum manufacturer. VSX comes standard with a Brushed Steel SensiTone snare drum.

Pearl's 60 years of acoustic research has proven that the interior plies of the shell are the key influence to the overall sonic characteristic of the drum. Vision Series exploits this knowledge to the fullest by using two unique shell recipes of birch and basswood. Birch offers a resilient tightly bound network of cells that tend to accelerate rebounding sound waves making it perfect where mid-range to high frequencies are desired. Basswood provides a slightly softer cellulose composition which tends to slow the sound waves, thus promoting mid-range to low-frequency response. By adjusting the overall balance of one ingredient to the other allows a fine-tuning of frequency response much like Pearl's Reference Series.

Optimized Shell Configuration The fundamental thought behind Pearl's Award-winning Reference Series was to optimize every component of your kit to respond to its full potential within the confines of its respective frequency range. This was achieved through the usage of premium wood composition and shell thickness via strategic variance in the type and amount of plies. This same spirit of innovation is now available to the emerging musician in the Vision Series.

SST Shell Design Vision Series offers a sonically advanced recipe of strategically arranged plies of premium wood to maximize frequency response in every component. As with all Pearl drums, each shell is formed from Pearl's SST construction process that uses extreme heat, precision-cut scarf joints, Pearl's proprietary Acoustiglue, and over 1000lbs of hydraulic pressure to create the ultimate acoustic air chamber. Vision Series Snare Drums Vision Series feature Pearl's legendary SensiTone snare drums that have been the choice of discerning drummers for years. As the name implies these drums provide extreme sensitivity combined with amazing tone and clarity due to their 5-1/2" steel shell that projects extreme volume with articulate response for dynamic power and cut.

Vision 900 Series Hardware Vision's 900 Series hardware provides the ultimate combination of rugged durability and innovative functionality. As with all of Pearl's advanced hardware, you get professional high-strength dependability with sure-grip over-sized rubber feet and Pearl's parallel Sure Struts that resist lateral twisting to prevent squeaks and instability.
