Before Pearl, the only thing creaking worse than my bass pedal was my aching back.
My son is autistic and non-verbal, and he has demand avoidance, so he doesn't respond well to teachers. But he's been drawn to drums since he was four.
So I made it my mission to learn, hoping to help him find a way in.
Somewhere on our journey, I fell in love with drumming myself.
However, I'm over 40, and I soon found that no matter how I adjusted my position, sitting behind the kit hurt after just 20-30 minutes.
Then I got my Pearl Roadster D-1500TGL. Now I spend TWO HOURS behind the kit without discomfort.
Next came the pedal.
I'd spent quite a while debating shortboard vs. longboard before choosing the Pearl Demon Chain P-3000C, partly because its modularity meant I didn't have to commit to either.
Suddenly, advice I'd heard from great drummers ("It should feel like dribbling a basketball," "Let the pedal do the work for you") made sense.
The pedal carried the weight of my leg rather than fight it, and the unintended doubles disappeared.
Today my son joins me in his own way: sometimes he sits at the kit, sometimes he uses my practice pad, and sometimes he just sits in the room while I practice. Drums give us a language that doesn't need words.
I'm now slowly building my dream hybrid acoustic/electronic kit, with two separate kick drums. A second Demon Chain for my left foot was already on the shopping list. Winning the Pearl Eliminator Mono Pro Chain would bring that kit closer, and give my left foot its own Pearl moment.

これは私が人生で最初に買ったドラムスティックです。中学生になって吹奏楽部に入部した時、初めて家族で楽器屋さんに行ってお父さんに買ってもらいました。
たくさんのスティックを試奏した中で、直感的に最もフィットしたのがパールのスティックでした。あれから15年経ちますが、今もずっとパールのスティックを使っています。
