Masters MCX Series

The Masters MCX Series features a 6-ply 100% maple shell and comes with MasterCast die cast hoops on the toms and Masters bridge lugs along with Pearl's OptiMount tom mounting system. Matching maple snares are available in 14 x 5.5" and 14 x 6.5" depths, also with die cast hoops. Two high gloss lacquer finishes: Black silk and chestnut fade and three Delmar warps: bronze glass, red glass and pewter glass are available.
