The Development of “The Hammer” Bass Drum Pedal
Pearl believes that music should be accessible to everyone. This philosophy guides our ongoing commitment to supporting musicians of all backgrounds and abilities. As an instrument maker, we strive to break down barriers and create new opportunities, ensuring that the joy of making music is open to all.
-The Hammer-
Pearl artist Andrew Tkaczyk of the band The Ghost Inside lost his right leg in a tour bus accident, yet remained determined to return to the stage. Inspired by an idea from his father, Pearl developed an innovative bass drum pedal known as “The Hammer.” Designed to be played without a prosthetic leg, it offers a more comfortable and responsive playing experience. This project reflects our belief that the passion to play music has no limits.
Through innovation, collaboration, and compassion, Pearl will continue to create instruments and solutions that empower musicians and bring the world closer together through music.
