Essential Information About the Pearl President Series Deluxe 20/12/14" Ocean Ripple Drum Kit
- Shells made of 6-ply Lauan (7.5 mm): a warm, dark, and very musical grain with a true vintage identity.
- Carefully crafted neo-retro look: "Battleship" lugs, SuperHoop II hoops, and the ultra-distinctive Ocean Ripple finish on stage.
- Immediate control: adjustable dampeners on each shell + felt strip on the bass drum to tame harmonics without adding accessories.
- Ready for studio and stage: Remo CS "Black Dot" heads, CHB-75LB cymbal arm, mounted cymbal holder, and "Gullwing" bass drum spikes for reliable stability.
Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
The President Series Deluxe continues the legacy of Pearl's early kits by adopting iconic aesthetic codes (such as "Battleship" lugs, historic badge, classic-style bass drum logo) while benefiting from modern manufacturing that is more consistent and robust. It positions itself as a premium "neo-vintage" drum kit: vintage character combined with the reliability and tuning stability expected today.
Who This Drum Kit Is For
This 20/12/14 configuration targets intermediate to expert drummers seeking an expressive kit that is easy to tune and immediately usable for recording. Its compact format is particularly well suited for jazz, soul, funk, pop, and more broadly any context where warmth, control, and a punchy bass drum are desired without excessive bulk.
