Where are MW drums made?

Are the MW drums made in the US or some other country? While at it, can you tell me where all of Pearl's drum lines are made? Thanks,

actually I believe MW's are made in Japan. I could be wrong though. I think the other lines may be made in Taiwan though. if anyone knows for sure, feel free to correct me if Im wrong.

Look at T.West's reply to the "Why in Taiwan?" post started by "The Swing Man" in the Masterworks Forum:

"Yes, Masterworks drums were made in Japan at one time. We ran out of space and moved production to Taiwan."

The rest of the thread discusses this topic.
