Celebrating 75 years of Pearl's storied history of drum quality and innovation, Pearl's President Series Deluxe Drums are a modern take on a vintage classic. Inspired by the very origins of the World's Largest Drum Company, President Deluxe Series brings back the subtle warmth of the original tone wood to deliver a traditionally full-bodied sound and controlled playing experience.

Lauan Shell

Taking inspiration from Pearl's historic origins of drum manufacturing, Lauan was the original source of the "MIJ" (Made in Japan) tone. This medium/hardwood boasts a darker tone, and was the foundation of thousands of shells produced by Mitsuo Yanagisawa in Pearl's Japanese factory beginning in 1961. Loud, yet dampened, Lauan produces a deep, punchy attack with plenty of high-end response.

SR-017 Strainer

For effortless switching and unparalleled control over sensitivity, this quick, simple strainer employs a SR-150E Cast Butt Plate to keep your wire settings secure while you perform.

Internal Muffler

With a robust tension dial and multi-layered felt dampening pad, the IM-100PHC Internal Muffler allows you to find the perfect amount of decay by allowing head contact under the batter - anywhere from the lightest touch, to full contact for a vast range of tonal possibilities.

BSL-55 Lugs

Recast from Pearl's original "Battleship" lugs, these refined lugs deliver the commanding attack of the original.

SuperHoop II

With an optimum 2.3mm thickness, these robust triple-flanged hoops offer accurate and stable tuning during performances, without sacrificing the resonance of the shell.
