Pearl Introduces New President Series Deluxe Drum Set Inspired by the Classic MIJ Sound

Culled from the very origins of The World’s Largest Drum Company, President Deluxe Series revives the darkly unique tonality of Lauan Shells for a traditionally full, controlled playing experience.

“Lauan shells were the basis for what has come to be known as ‘The MIJ (Made in Japan) Sound,'” says Kevin Packard, Combo Marketing Manager at Pearl Corporation. “Though the fittings have been updated, President Series Deluxe drums have an inviting presence to them, with the gritty tonal vibe of the original.”

Presenting prime vintage style without the shortcomings of yesterday’s hardware, President Series Deluxe features a recasting of our classic “Battleship” lug and adjustable tone mufflers on each drum. The elegant identity of Pearl’s original script badge and classic bass drum logo augment the swirling flash of a choice of our two new Ripple-covered finishes.

President Series Deluxe drum kits come in a choice of two shell configurations (a 14″ x5.5″ snare and a limited number of components are also available separately.) Each comes standard with Remo CS “Black Dot” UT heads, classic felt bass drum muffling strip, shell-mounted cymbal holder, and adjustable “Gullwing” style bass drum spurs.

2021-edition kits will come standard with a signed 75th Anniversary Certificate of Authenticity.
