Pearl’s pioneering shell technology proves that sustainability and innovation can move forward together—delivering unprecedented tonal expression and playability.’ Pearl Chopsticks:Pearl Chopsticks give new life to drumsticks - helping protect our precious wood resources. Discontinued models, sticks with minor printing irregularities, and others that couldn't be sold despite having no quality issues. They're transformed into beautiful chopsticks by the skilled artisans at Hyozaemon, a time-honored chopstick maker in Japan. *****Pearl believes that music should be accessible to everyone. As an instrument maker, we are dedicated to breaking down barriers and creating opportunities - ensuring that the joy of making music is available to all.

Pearl has proudly supported TRAP for many years. The Hammer:After losing his right leg in a tour bus accident, Pearl artist Andrew Tkaczyk of the band The Ghost Inside was determined to return to the stage. Inspired by an idea from his father, Pearl developed a new bass drum pedal - dubbed "The Hammer" - designed to be played without a prosthetic leg for a more comfortable and nimble playing experience. It reflects our belief that the desire to play music has no limits. Pearl & Permobil x Jeff Elwood:Jeff Elwood is an aspiring professional drummer from Canada whose path has included significant challenges around accessibility. After a life-changing motocross accident in his youth, Jeff continued pursuing his passion for drumming as a paraplegic—performing in a wheelchair with multiple bands and creating content for his Wheelchair Drummer YouTube channel. Pearl partnered with Permobil, an innovative leader in wheelchair and mobility solutions, to develop a custom chair - along with a new matching drum rack setup. The result enhances Jeff’s comfort and accessibility while preserving the technique, control, and musical ability he’s worked so hard to build. *****Pearl is deeply committed to music education at every level, recognizing its essential role in shaping the next generation of musicians, educators, and innovators.

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?

As the world is suffering with the corona virus pandemic, Japan has been no exception with the number of daily infections hitting over a hundred, people finding it hard to adjust themselves into the new normality and many drummers being unable to find a place to play the drums under such circumstances. In the face of these most challenging times, Pearl has taken a whole new step and invented a very unique product to combat the virus in the most "rhythmical" way and that is a hand sanitizer stand. As you may be thinking, there are many hand sanitizer stands out there and it itself is nothing new, however this, our friends, is not just a hand sanitizer stand, but it is converted from a Pearl Hi-hat stand. This simple, yet innovative hand sanitizer stand has so much more to offer than you may think it does. First, as it is converted from one of the most selling Pearl Hi-Hat stands, H-830, it is light, yet very sturdy for ensuring a quick mobility as well as an extreme stability. Second, of course, it has inherited the "height adjustable feature" from the original product so that you may adjust the height as required for children or any special occasions. Third, the specially made slide-plate allows a flexible positioning of the sanitizer bottle you may place on the tray, which is also specially made for this use. We could go on and there are many more features to add, but if we are allowed to mention one more thing about the product, it would be the fact that you do not need to use your hands to push the hand sanitizer bottle, but you would just need to step on the Hi hat pedal with your foot, just like when you play a Hi hat as usual, which would then pull the slide-plate down to the point where it pushes down the bottle top then you can sanitize your hands completely hands-free!!! Who would have thought that a Hi-hat stand would actually turn into a hand sanitizer stand, except a long existing drum manufacturer who has been always trying to offer something people might need? Although it is still nowhere near to an end to this pandemic we are pleased to be able to play a roll in combating the virus. We wish you all and your loved ones are safe and well and hope we will see a light at the end of the tunnel soon.

Drum Pedal NEW Pearl Eliminator Solo pedal For the reliable play of the working drummer. In 2020, Pearl is introducing Eliminator Solo bass drum pedals which deliver all the speed and performance of the original Eliminator, but in a single cam option. The Eliminator Solo: Black features the focused feel of the circular Linear Action (Black) Cam. Its slightly weighted feel and resistance-free footboard deliver traditional feel, power and speed with less muscle fatigue. The contrasting Eliminator Solo: Red delivers a lighter, fluid feel thanks to the Radical Progressive Action (Red) Cam. Best suited for the high-speed play, its sharp Cam angle increases rebound for a lightning fast, accurate stroke. New Pearl 930 Series Single-Braced Stands Boasting the same sturdy tubing and tier joints as their double-braced counterparts, Pearl’s new 930 Series Single Braced Hardware is an excellent choice for the gigging drummer on the move.

New Pearl 1030 Series Double-Braced Hi-Hat Stand Boasting the same sturdy tubing and tier joints as Pearl’s 930 Series stands, the new double-braced H1030 Series Hi-Hat stand is now available as a counterpart to Pearl’s new Eliminator: Solo bass drum pedals. Its smooth, traditional footboard performs with resistance-free precision, while the independent Trident tripod is positioned separate from the pedal frame to easily accommodate double bass drum pedals. New Pearl Unilock Arm & Leg Adapter The UniLock Arm & Leg Cymbal adapter (CHA70) is a multi-positional cymbal arm that creates quick, easy cymbal expansion around the drum set.
