A Steal on a Boutique-level Shell Pack

You'd never imagine a "budget" kit could look, sound, and play as good as the PDP Concept Maple Exotic. This kit borrows concepts from DW drum kits costing several times as much — including all-maple shells, STM tom mounts, and fine-threaded True-Pitch tension rods — and serves them up at a bodacious price. The most striking thing about the PDP Concept Maple Exotic has to be its figured walnut veneers, which are finished in a smoky charcoal burst that's sure to draw the eye of every drummer in the room.

Boutique quality at a down-to-earth price

PDP's Concept Maple Exotic shell pack proves it's possible to get boutique build quality and pro features at an affordable price. The 8-ply maple tom and bass drum shells are crafted for fast response and a warm, satisfying sustain. The 10-ply maple snare shell has a powerful crack and projection to meet the demands of today's music.

Exotic finishes add wow factor

The Concept Maple Exotic looks every bit as good as it sounds. Shells are wrapped in a figured walnut wood veneer, stained to perfection, then lacquered to a sumptuous gloss finish.
