Pearl Sticks
Did you know that Pearl was offering its own sticks in Japan?
In fact, Pearl sticks have been widely recognized as one of the best sticks in Japan for their durability, playability as well as the attractive price and product range with which each series is being offered.
Pearl offers long sticks, short sticks or mid-long sticks to cover all kinds of needs.
Or if you look at the availability of stick-tip types, you'd have Tear Drop type, Barrel type, Oval type, Arrow type,,, the list just goes on and on.
As far as the wood materials these sticks are made out of go, you'd have Oak, Hickory or even Maple to choose from.
Furthermore, since the Pearl sticks' qualities have been well received in Japan, Pearl has even collaborated with many artists to create signature models, all of which are very unique and specific in spec and have expanded the Pearl sticks product range into the point where it covers almost all demands one can think of and thus even most discerning players will find some pairs to choose from the options.
If you ever visit Japan, why don't you hop in a musical instrument store where you will most likely find pairs of Pearl sticks and bring them back home with you to add to your stick collections?

Introducing BRD-S Low Volume Practice Cymbals
BRD-S Low Volume CymbalsPearl Drums is pleased to introduce the new BRD-S Low Volume Practice Cymbals, the latest addition to the BRD cymbal series. Designed specifically for low-noise practice, the BRD-S features precision-drilled perforations across the playing surface. This special construction significantly reduces volume while maintaining the natural stick feel, rebound, and response of a traditional acoustic cymbal. Players can enjoy realistic cymbal performance without the excessive sound levels typically associated with full-volume cymbals. Whether you're practicing in an apartment, rehearsing at home, warming up backstage before a show, or playing in venues with strict volume restrictions, the BRD-S allows you to focus on technique and musical expression while keeping sound levels under control. It also pairs well with electronic drum kits, providing a more authentic playing experience than rubber cymbal pads. The set includes a 20" Ride, 18" Crash, 16" Crash, and 14" Hi-Hats, allowing drummers to experience the full range of cymbal techniques and tonal variations. From articulate ride patterns on the bow to full-bodied crashes at the edge and expressive accents on the bell, the BRD-S delivers dynamic response and realistic performance characteristics at a fraction of the volume of conventional cymbals. To make transportation easy, the set also comes with a dedicated cymbal bag, making it ideal for drummers who regularly move between practice spaces, rehearsal rooms, lessons, and live venues. Combining practicality, portability, and excellent value for money, the BRD-S is an ideal solution for drummers looking to practice more often without compromising on feel or performance. Watch the comparison video to hear the difference in volume between the BRD-S Low Volume Cymbals and the standard BRD-1 cymbals. Also Available: BRD-1 CymbalsFor drummers seeking a full-volume acoustic cymbal at an affordable price, the BRD-1 Brass Cymbal Set remains available as part of the BRD series. Crafted from brass and designed with a focus on musical sound and everyday usability, the BRD-1 offers excellent value for beginners, students, rehearsal studios, and drummers looking for a reliable practice or backup cymbal set. Its balanced tone and accessible price make it an ideal entry-level option without sacrificing essential performance characteristics. Whether you're building your first drum kit or looking for a cost-effective cymbal solution, the BRD-1 delivers dependable performance and great value.
