Description

Pearl’s original President Series kits were among the first pro drum sets to bear the Pearl name. And since their heyday in the late 1960s, these kits have cultivated a fierce following of devoted fans and collectors. The 75th anniversary President Series Deluxe revitalizes the classic lineup with an heirloom design that carries an undercurrent of retro cool. Best of all, they’re available without the vintage premium, and with Pearl’s legendary build quality to back it up.

“The new [President Series] kits are basically the best of both worlds: you’re getting an old-school … look with the Battleship lugs, but you’re going to get all the modern properties of the hardware being more up-to-date and more durable.” — Eric Singer, Kiss drummer and President Series devotee

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.

Antique appointments, modern dependability
Pearl’s name in drum hardware is legendary. The President Series Deluxe faithfully resurrects the hardware and appointments of the original lineup with modern-tolerance specs. And whether you’re drawn to its Battleship lugs, Silver Script badges, gullwing spurs, or shell-mounted bass drum cymbal holder — or perhaps all of the above — the modern Pearl President Series Deluxe from Sweetwater is one vintage-styled shell pack with hardware that is rated to stand the test of time.
