    Info on Old pearl drum kit

    Hi all, I have this old Pearl drum kit. From what I can find out, it is from the 60’s with the gold script badge. They seem to be wrapped in black, but where it’s peeling shows what could be an interesting pattern. I was just wondering if anyone could share any knowledge on the kit and if it...

    New Pearl L Arm thoughts?

    Why now after 70 years of being proprietary are Pearl deciding to play nice with others? (or are they? like what's the L arm's size? It looks like a 12.7 but not quite sure) This is making me think twice about Pearl, (in a good way) since I never liked their tube style tom arms for being...

    When can you call a drum set or snare drum vintage?

    Dear fellow drummers, Since I was patching up an old steel snare (bought it somewhere around 1988) I was wondering if I could call this snare a vintage snare. My gut feeling said 'yes' but thinking about the real age of it (about 37 years) I thought 'no'. But I was not sure wich was the right...

    Help identify drum model

    Hi everyone, this is my first drum kit and I know very little about it. The only thing I'm certain of is that the floor tom is a wood-fiberglass model probably from the late 70s.

    Get this wrap off!

    Hi all, a while ago I bought a second hand Pearl free floater. I love the sound of it... But: the previous owner damaged the finish in some way (he didn't explain) and therefor he wrapped it in silver sparkle. Because I thought he overdid the sparkles a bit, he was willing to re-wrap it for me...
