Since 1999, Masterworks has been bringing to life the vision of the ultimate set of drums for the worlds most discerning musicians. The greatest craftsmen assembled together with one common goal, to build the perfect set of drums for you.
MasterWorks was upgraded in 2004 and these included: Revolutionary BRL Bridge lugs featuring a pivot arm that replaces the traditional swivel nut for greatly improved tension rod alignment. This ensures perfect head seating and precise even tuning, regardless of the type of hoop or heads being used.
Masterworks also features newly designed SP-300 spurs with bridge-type brackets that promote maximum resonance via minimal shell contact. They also keep stability to a maximum with large rubber feet that keep your bass drum firmly anchored. Our floor toms feature the all new LB-200 Bridge Leg bracket with a state of the art clam shell clamping system that provides the ultimate in stability while promoting extreme resonance from the shell.
Masterworks bass drums feature new CW-300 recessed die cast claws with rubber (hoop saving) gaskets to protect the finish of your prized kit. Rounding out the innovations for 2004 is a completely redesigned OptiMount Tom Mounting System. It now features a one-piece die-cast BT-3 tom mount that minimizes its overall size without loosing any drum stability. The new slim-line OptiMount is totally finished in glistening chrome and now accommodates 6" diameter toms as well as toms up to 16" in diameter.
