Has anyone had success with mounting the Pearl R2 suspension mount to another L arm? For example the DW L arm or any other? Just curious if this is possible or if you have to buy Pearl’s Gyro L arm for it to work. I’m sure it’s been posted about so if anyone has any info that would be awesome!

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...

Hello everyone! I have a vintage 1960's Pearl kit with original blue sparkle wrap, and mostly original hardware (including ancient HH and camco BP). I own another kit and am thinking about selling this one which I picked up on impulse a few years ago at a local music store the day after they...

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...

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...

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. All the other components are without fiberglass so it's a mix. Does someone know the name of the model for the bass...

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...

I purchased a Pearl Eliminator double pedal about 2 years ago, after approx. 1 year the chain slider bracket broke. I have been waiting a year now for the part to arrive. How can I contact Pearl to ask them "whats up?" I need my pedal, one year is too long. Can any other brand of pedal's part...

Hi, I am about to purchase a new drum kit, but I really can't decide between a Pearl Reference and a Sonor Delight. Can anyone on this forum help me please? I don't want to spend $10,000 on a kit and then regret it (yes,that's how much they cost in Malta. Thanks alot for your help!! Jonathan

So, remember my last thread? When I got that PDP 805? It's been a couple months, and I have some new pictures. I found these drums on Craigslist that I went to pick up, but the thing is, they were total crap. Except the people selling them recommended a local music store where everything is...
