Pearl MLX 10x10 Tom - Ivory White

Pearl MLX All Maple 10×10 Tom – Ivory White (Late ’80s / Early ’90s)

Expand your setup with a rare gem – an original Pearl MLX All Maple 10×10 tom in the classic Ivory White lacquer finish. This model represents the transition between the first and second generation of the MLX line, just before Pearl launched their now-legendary Masters series. That makes this drum especially interesting for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate authentic late-’80s and early-’90s Pearl quality.

Specifications:

• Size: 10″ x 10″
• Shell: 6-ply 100% Maple (All Maple Shell)
• Finish: Ivory White lacquer (original)
• Hardware: Original Pearl hardware with high-quality lugs and fittings
• Production Year: Approx. 1989–1991
• Made in Taiwan – from Pearl’s “golden era” before production moved overseas

The MLX series became known for its warm and controlled tone, thanks to the 6-ply maple shells – a tonewood that has long been a standard in high-end drum construction. This tom delivers a tight, full, and punchy sound, perfect for both studio and live use. The 10″ depth adds strong projection and tone control, making it equally suited for fusion and pop as well as rock and gospel setups.

The drum is used but in good condition, showing only minor wear consistent with its age. The finish and hardware are well preserved. It’s a perfect match for an existing MLX kit or a unique add-on to a modern setup.

The Pearl MLX series was part of Pearl’s “Professional Series” and represented their highest-quality offering before the Masters line was introduced. It was used by many professional drummers throughout the ’80s and ’90s and has since achieved true vintage status – largely thanks to its build quality and exceptional sound.

This is a rare opportunity to get your hands on an original 10×10 MLX tom – a size that rarely surfaces, especially in Ivory White. Ideal for anyone looking to expand their kit or collect quality drums from Pearl’s most iconic era.
