Pearl's Wood-shelled Presidents Are Back!

Pearl Drums celebrates its 75th revolution around the sun with the reintroduction of one of its most seminal and sought-after kits: the President Series Deluxe shell pack. This vibey 4 -piece ( includes Snare ) revives the dark, chewy tonal character and period Pearl appointments of its mid-'60s namesake, all with the 21st-century durability today's Pearl's kits are renowned for. Lauan wood shells done up in a groovy ripple wrap unlock the heritage "thump" and Space Age look of Pearl's iconic President kits. And from its Battleship lugs to its Silver Script badges, this kit is bursting with vintage character. The President Series Deluxe shell pack comes outfitted with Remo USA CS Black Dot heads to fully capitalize on the bite and growl of its bass-enhanced shells. Inside each tom and kick, you'll find an adjustable tone muffler to focus stick attack and dry out resonance. A full complement of past-meets-present Pearl hardware — including gullwing bass spurs, a kick-mounted cymbal holder, and T-rod bass claws — makes the President Series Deluxe an irresistible addition to any Pearl collector's collection. Each kit includes a certificate of authenticity.

Dark and punchy lauan shells

Whoever said "they don't make 'em like they used to" clearly had their mind on modern drum shells! Pearl's lauan-voiced President Series drum kits contained a thump, growl, and nearfield punch that have been hard to come by through the employment of more discriminating tonewoods. Pearl's brings its 75 years of shell making know-how to bear on this classic shell formulation to unlock the same vintage voicing, but with with modern road-tested durability. Adjustable tone mufflers inside each shell dry up resonance for an added dose of that dark, vibey punch.
