Pearl Booth Tour NAMM 2011

The primary focus of Pearl's 2011 NAMM booth was the new Reference Pure kit, which stakes it claim on the resonant benefits of low-mass construction in the makeup of both shells and hardware. Pearl also introduced a finish upgrade for the Masters MCX 6-ply 100-percent maple legacy shell (the very shell Jeff Porcaro made famous) — it's a faux camo finish that looks remarkably like the real thing (check out our extreme close-up for hard proof). We also saw some new colors in the entry-level Vision series, Birch Lacquer, and Birch Custom series. Nice stuff.

@punkrockdrummer1990 funny dude.. i have a 1971 pearl woodfiberglass kit that i think can burn the ludwig kit of the same year.... infack it burns just about any kit it stacks up against except pearl reference 2009

@DrumYourFaceOff1 Is that a problem?! I would say; "for every thing, there is a price to pay", The drumkits from Pearl are all highclass drumsets, especially the reference and Masters series are topclass drumsets. Besides: Pearl has a much longer tradition in building/developing drumsets than brands like; DW,PDP, Taye, Mapex etc...This long experience you find back in the drumkit it self. Cheers!

The problem with pearl is that no average person can afford their kits, but people who can afford it would rather spend it on a higher class kit. They need to lower the prices for theses kits.
