This totally consistent, perfectly round, essentially cast/molded shell produces a uniquely-cutting clarity from the strike with quick decay and even midrange spread.

For balanced interaction between the head and each wood ply, this edge creates a transfer of resonant energy that is much more direct, and delivers an essential tonal tempering for even pitch and decay.

President Series Phenolic drums have an inviting, vintage presence that gives back to the player with a totally unique voice. From period-inspired finish and hardware touches to its biting clear tonality, the total kit breeds inspiration and has a completely unique sonic footprint. 

Cast in 1969 as "C043" for Pearl's professional outfits (including President Series,) it has since been dubbed "The Battleship Lug" by collectors for its angular profile. The new BSL100 features the same striking look and self-aligning design, but with a more robust casting for better tuning integrity.

For classic hand-tunable function and a beautiful vintage look, Pearl's T090 T-handle rods fuse with our new insulated classic Claw via a small extension sleeve (T066.) The contact points of each Claw are insulated with felt to protect bass drum hoop finish.

A sturdy triple-flanged hoop at optimum 2.3mm thickness, each is identity stamped and made for accurate and secure tuning in play without inhibiting overall shell resonance.

Features debossed Pearl logo, internal grip function for height adjustment, and angled T-nut for better case storage.

Using the LB75 bracket, each spur features an angle secure memory lock, retractable spike tip, and folds in to the profile of the kick drum for quick breakdown and set-up.

Dial in the perfect amount of sustain with the IM100W Internal Tone Muffler. Its robust tension dial and multi-layered felt dampening pad allows head contact under the batter from the slightest touch to full contact, for a wide range of tonal combinations. 

Like any other string or brass instrument, professional drum sets purchased in the 60's were normally shipped factory-direct in a set of cases for cartage protection. The lightweight, classic look and function of Nomad fiberboard cases recalls a simpler time in music; each is hand-riveted with metal-reinforced corners and double-thick handle connectors. 

Handles are contoured for easy cartage and secured to the case body by a reinforced plane of fiberwood.

Each included Nomad Case is branded with our classic Pearl logo and encompassed with a one-piece, wear-proof nylon strap. Secured using a non-slip toothless buckle, this multi-fit design will accept almost any depth of drum.
