Here’s my Kelly Shu Review & Installation video. Several of my friends that do lots of touring and studio work use these, so I was curious about adding them to my Pearl Masterworks kit that I use for in-home recording and drum videos.

Bottom line – VERY impressed. Easy installation – and I am NOT technically inclined (more like technically declined). No drilling. Hardest part was measuring how much rubber tube to cut. Haha

No more kick mic stands sticking out of the port holes to be tripped over.

You can order the Kelly She directly from Jeffery Kelly, the creator of the Kelly Shu at www.kellyshu.com. Great guy, fast shipping, and a solid product.

Masterworks specs:

The kit is basically in Pearl Reference Specs except all have at least 2 plies of mahogany on the inside (which is stained red) and adding 4 plies w/ the floor and even more mahogany with the Gong & kicks. The rest of the plies in each are maple except for the snare.

Toms (Mic’d with Audix D2)
6x7" Rack Tom
8x7.25" Rack Tom
10x7.75" Rack Tom
12X8.5" Rack Tom
13x9.5" Rack Tom on left

Floor Toms (Mic’d with Audix D4)
14x13" Floor Tom
16x15" Floor Tom

Snare (Mic’d with Audix i5)
14x5.75". 10 ply - 2 inner birch, 7 maple, outer bubinga. It also has the triple snare throw off. This thing looks amazing and lets you choose 3 different 6 strand snares allowing you to mix and match all of them

Gong Drum (Mic’d with Audix D6)
20x15"– 8 ply. All mahogany except the bubinga on the outside. Finish is a fade from the head down instead of the burst like the rest b/c of it being single headed

Kick Drums (Mic’d with Audix D6s)
22x17 kicks. 10 plies – 6 inner are mahogany - BOOM!! The outer 3 plies are maple and the outside bubinga.

Cymbals from left to right:

17” Sabian Xtreme China
8” Sabian Splash in brilliant finish
14” K Custom Session Hi-Hats (Steve Gadd model)
20” Zildjian K Pre-Aged Ride
20” K Custom Session Ride (Steve Gadd model)
