USA made Pearl drums

Posts: 304 Threads: 31

I just recently picked up a 7 pc Pearl Maple shell kit made in the USA. Does anyone know when these kits were made? Any information would be great. Thanks and have a great day.

I believe Pearl started assembling drums with maple shells in the US during the early 80's.

I believe Pearl started assembling drums with maple shells in the US during the early 80's.

During the move they made drums here using Keller shells. Great drums !




Looking for a late 80's to early 90's, preferably Arctic White Pearl MLX 14x14 floor tom.

I have seen versions of my GLX drums from 1985 that have made in USA badges. I was told that the shells were made in the usa? The Pearl Drummers forum might be able to help (hopefully that forum is not on the banned list)

Thanks guys. I will try to get a few pictures posted in the next few days. I had a feeling it was an 80s kit. It has the rectangular spined lugs. Nothing fancy. The snare is 8x14 with a super sensitive throw. Definitely a big rock kit.

The Keller site actually used to state which companies they supplied in the past, now its simply says it supplied major drum brands or something
