vintage Pearl President kit: SOUND DEMO

from PEARL WEBSITE: In 1966, Pearl introduced its first top-of-the-line outfit, named The President series. Japanese professional players liked the originality of sound and design, and visiting drummers such as Art Blakey, J.C. Heard and many others were exposed to the new Pearl President drums. These drummers offered suggestions, and Mitsuo continued to upgrade equipment and perfect production methods to improve quality and performance. The success of this formula of listening to drummers play the instrument, then utilizing R&D to develop and improve product was evidenced by the high acceptance of Pearl drumsets in the U.S. markets. In later years,

can you tell me how many plies they are, and what wood? and how deep are they? what snare are you using?

[Jmpercussion85]

@eddytheyeti2 the plies i am not sure of. the wood is a cheaper Japanese mahogany im assuming. sizes are standard. 14x20 16x16 and 9x13. The snare drum is a 1964 3 ply slingerland wood snare. more information can probably be found on the pearl website or by googling Pearl President. thanks

@chrisismename nice. post some vids man

Pearl is a serious drum company, you ignoramuses. They were and I think still are the only company to use hydraulic pressure cylinders to compress the shells while heating the laminate glue to boil. This pressure-saturates the shells giving incredible strength and density. These drums sound like pretty well tuned jazz drums to me.

[tyrannicalreign]

Sounds beautiful. I love the snare.

[ParanormalActivity16]

[rsfeliciano]
