Introduced in 1966, Pearl’s President Series was the first drum set to utilize the unique benefits of hermetically pressurized Phenolic shells. The loud, piercing resonance of these thermo-layered, solid shells was renown for their ability to cut through the mix with undeniable clarity. Original President Series kits have since found an avid audience among collectors and players, as their sound is not comparable with the mainstay woods of modern drum making.
In celebration of Pearl’s history of quality and craftsmanship, President Series Phenolic shells make a triumphant return in a Limited Edition, 75th Anniversary drum set. Exuding pristine vintage style with focused updated function, the hallmark appointments that made original President Series unique (like our Battleship lug, internal tone mufflers, and adjustable Gullwing style bass drum spurs,) are present, and visual touches like Pearl’s elegant script badge and classic bass drum logo add to its old school swagger.
Each President Series Phenolic Drum Set comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Pearl Musical Instruments President and CEOMax Iishi, to commemorate three quarters of a Century of percussive innovation.
This official Anniversary Edition drum set is extremely limited by region.
