The Official Pearl Showroom Memorial Thread

Derek Wolfford · 04-24-2010, 10:08 PM

We have undergone some major renovations at Pearl Headquarters to insure we stay the best in the industry. In doing so, we had to say goodbye to our much loved showroom... it served us well over the many many years it was in service. Its sacrifice was not in vain though, our new media studio will bring you closer to Pearl and its products with unique and constant content.

Post your Pearl Showroom pictures in this thread to provide a proper tribute and to show that you we're one of the lucky ones!

Derek, what can we expect from the new studio? More product demos? Artist performances?

Derek Wolfford · 04-26-2010, 12:35 PM

Here are some pics from the vault:

JHC look at that field drum!

I don't have any photos, but I fondly remember my trip to the show room. It's sad to see it go, but I hope the new media studio is everything it's hoped to be.

I remember that the Masters Mahogany kit didn't have its bass drum when I was there... that was my only disappointment. The snare closet though... breath taking.

I remember this killer MW kit in our showroom!

I"ve always drooled over that veneer with that green finish---WOW

Derek and Al,
In order to assist Pearl in their transition from showroom to media studio, I will generously offer to store and house all of those great looking snare drums at my place. No thanks is necessary; I just want to help in whatever way I can.
