The 4.5mm-thick President Phenolic shells feature this uniquely thin, thermo-layered solid material that projects with a loud, piercing resonance. A true original from Pearl's 75 year history, the President series was the first drum set to utilise the unique benefits of hermetically pressurised phenolic shells. And now, in 2021, it's making a comeback in the Limited Edition Diamond Jubilee set. This one-of-a-kind tonal clarity is apparent from your very first strike.
The votes are in, and the newly-elected premier of vintage drumming style and sound is... you. Aside from the immersive phenolic shells, the President Phenolic's configuration plays a big part in its unmistakable sound. These 22", 16", 13" size shells are typically found in rock-style set-ups. Perfect for driving rhythms, riotous drum fills, and capturing your audience's ears, as well as their eyes. That's if they can take them off the President Phenolic's dazzling aesthetic, of course. With hardware features such as the imposing 'Battleship' lugs, the heritage gullwing bass drum spurs, and the classic-look bass drum shell cymbal holder, you'll be the picture of drumming opulence.
Each drum in the President Phenolic Shell Pack comes fitted with a Remo USA head for great sounds straight from the box. For further refinements, a felt bass drum muffling strip is included for you to tweak your bass drum's response. Meanwhile, Pearl's triple-flanged SuperHoop II hoops offer increased volume and projection. You'll also make good use of the shells' internal mufflers, with each drum fitted with an adjustable unit for precise tonal control. Allowing you to achieve your personal drumming identity both in the studio and on the stage.
'The first thing that drew me to Pearl was that they were always innovating, always looking for new materials and new sounds. I've scoured the world collecting and restoring President Phenolic drums because there is no other drum material that sounds like them'.
