“To celebrate my 30th Anniversary as a Pearl Artist, we decided to do something that celebrates my two loves: drumming and painting. This is my way of paying tribute to my drumming heroes and their impact on me as a younger, developing player. Each portrait took nearly a week to layout and paint. They were painted in the order they appear on the shell because that’s the order that they came into my life and inspired me on my drumming journey.” This is a celebration-inspired instrument and is not available for purchase.

Whether it's drum sticks or paint brushes, Michael Cartellone is a true Artist.
To commemorate his 30th Anniversary as a Pearl Artist, drummer Michael Cartellone has created a one-of-a-kind Signature Snare Drum in tribute to the players that inspire him most. Originally starting as an Arctic White 14”x6.5” Reference Pure snare shell, Michael personally painted portraits of his drumming heroes in the panels between the lugs on each side.
Icons Ringo Starr, Bill Bruford, Terry Bozzio, Stewart Copeland, John Bonham, and Neil Peart were intricately hand-painted by Michael, each portrait taking over a week’s time to complete in tritone acrylic. The drum was then fitted with Pearl's STL Swivel Tube Lugs, FatTone Hoops, and SR1000 Strainer for truly exceptional snare tone and power.
This one-of-a-kind piece will stay in Michael's personal collection to continually offer inspiration and belt with the sound Michael has become famous for.

The original work was laid out by Michael to offer respect to the drummers that inspired him, and provide inspiration for better playing and creativity.
A Fitting Tribute
“This drum celebrates my two loves: drumming and painting. Each drummer's portrait was painted in the order that they came into my life and inspired me on my drumming journey.”
A Painstaking Process, for a Purpose.
