Pearl Day fast approaching...

Pearl Day is only a couple of weeks away now. Featuring the likes of Dan Foord, Adam Perry and Michael 'Moose' Thomas and taking place at the East Midlands Conference centre in Nottingham Pearl Day 2008 is the perfect combination of astounding performers, awesome gear exhibitions, workshops and masterclasses suitable for drummers aged 1 to 100.

The Vision Stage will host a range of popular artists, who'll be putting Pearl's new Vision series through its paces by performing their own tracks and demonstrating the series' outstanding qualities for the stage's up-close-and-personal audiences. And if you want to have a bash yourself, you can set up camp in Pearl's dedicated Sound Test area - a first for any drum event - in which you'll get the chance to play a range of Pearl products including Reference and Vision kits, snares and percussion from across the Pearl range - without once being told to keep the noise down!

For more information and to buy tickets for the event visit the Pearl website, clicking through to Pearl Music Europe and the United Kingdom homepage. You can also find out more by checking out our previous blog HERE.
