ENVIRONMENT
Pearl is taking a bold step toward more environmentally conscious instrument making. From giving new life to wood once destined for disposal to developing eco-friendly, 3D-printed drum sets, we’re exploring new possibilities. By blending 80 years of craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation, we’re redefining how instruments are made for a more sustainable future.
Environmentally-friendly 3D-Printed Drums (Prototype)
Developed in partnership with Inoue Kikaku Co., Ltd., our eco-friendly 3D-printed drums feature innovative shells made from recycled materials using advanced additive manufacturing. By streamlining the production process, we reduce environmental impact without compromise. 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 were once They're transformed into beautiful chopsticks by the skilled artisans at Hyozaemon, a time-honored chopstick maker in Japan.
HUMANITY
We believe the desire to play music has no limits. That belief drives Pearl to support musicians of all abilities—from specially developed pedals, to wheelchair drummers, to educational programs that expand access to percussion for people with disabilities. As an instrument maker, we’re committed to building a world where everyone can enjoy music.
The Rhythmic Arts Project (TRAP)
The Rhythmic Arts Project (TRAP) is a nonprofit organization focused on developing life skills through percussion. Its inclusive programs serve participants of all ages, including individuals with physical and developmental disabilities, through multisensory musical engagement. Pearl has proudly supported TRAP for many years.
Specially-Developed Pedal: "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. After discovering Jeff and learning his story, 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.
EDUCATION
Pearl is dedicated to shaping the future of music education through a range of initiatives. The Pearl Educational Advisory Board (EAB) was created to help shape the future of music education, and support the many programs in need.
