Welcome to the Next Chapter:
Pearl’s legendary history of drum craftsmanship has been a mainstay for countless drummers for nearly 80 years.
As the global drumming community has evolved through the decades, our resolve to fuel heightened performance by better serving the individual drummer has remained unchanged since 1946.
2023 marks a dramatic rethink in the presentation of drumming and platform of every drummer worldwide. Rising to the occasion, Pearl has set the stage to showcase your sonic and visual identity with a new era of professionally catered percussion items, further bridging the gap between Player and Instrument.
R2 AIR TOM SUSPENSION SYSTEM: A New Tonal Frontier for the Drum Set.
A giant leap in drum resonance physics, R2 Air improves overall tone of the complete drum set by delivering the true sound of each mounted tom, creating a transitional bridge to floor toms. Experience totally unrestricted, tonally uncolored sound from your mounted toms like never before. (US.PAT.11640814)
R2 AIR TOM SUSPENSION SYSTEM: Exclusive Four-Point Floating Isolation Platform.
To attain tonally true sound, every drum would have to be mounted in a floating point at the center of its shell. R2 Air equally balances mounting pressure across two floating points at the top and bottom of each tom. This gives true tonal separation from mounting hardware and enhances sonic output.
R2 AIR TOM SUSPENSION SYSTEM: Sustain Level: 35% Longer*
R2 Air Tom Suspension System gives the shell true tonal separation from mounting hardware, enhancing sonic output and increasing sustain compared to traditional tom mounting systems.
R2 AIR TOM SUSPENSION SYSTEM: Fine-tunable tom sustain.
The R2 Air Suspension System provides maximum sustain for your drum. The DamperDisk included allow you to adjust the sustain to a shorter note instead of using gel mufflers or tape. Use one DamperDisk for mild sustain reduction, and add more to reduce it further. DamperDisk placed between the bottom Radial Mount Plate and lugs have a greater effect on the amount of reduction.
A VOICE FOR EVERY DRUMMER, FROM STUDIO TO STAGE:
Pearl’s Reimagined High-End features FOUR distinctively different shell offerings from which to choose; from the newly-unified Reference One Series to three options in our legendary Masters line. Each features a selection of hardware appointments best suited for its shell sound and performance purpose.
