Ok Pearls new hardware, I'll do this in 2 parts, one today and one tomorrow.
Part 1.
Pearls new hardware line was really a godsend for alot of todays gigging musicians. Pearl have taken their already highly useable boom stands and added even more to them to design what could be called the almost perfect boom. Instead of having a single boom arm, this pearl stand features a second boom tilter to allow for pinpoint positioning. The newly designed Pearl gyrolock allows for complete 360 degree mobility and the new UltraGrip Wing nuts allow you to use your drumsticks for added leverage. The brand new Pearl WingLoc is featured on all the new Pearl stands and cymbal arms and allows for lightning fast cymbal adjustments or changes. Also featured is a reversible seat cup for alternate cymbal swing and a knurled post to allow for cowbell setting. All these make up for a boom stand that will have you trying to find ways to setup your cymbals that this boom wont allow for and i gurantee you will be stumped.
The S-2000 snare stand is just like the original only it has been upgraded to now include die cast pipe joints, push button spikes, a gyrolock tilter and air suspension basket tips. All the old features like, incrementally marked arms for adjustment to accomodate larger snare [url=http://www.drumandbass.org]drums[/url] or toms (up to 16") and double braced legs. The new roadster Thrones have been designed with ergonomics in mind, the seat allowing for 2 different positions and now includes an optional backrest. The lower thrones have also been improved as well as the introduction of the D-1000SP, with a built in shock absorber that will add energy to every movement.
Part 2 will be tomorrow.
