Marching Drums by Peeler Drum Center is proud to carry the full line of Pearl marching drums and percussion. Pearl manufactures two main lines of marching drums, their best quality "Championship" series, and their more affordable "Competitor" series. Championship series drums (snares, tenors and basses included) all have 6 ply 100% Maple shells. Championship series drums have been used by many of the worlds leading Drum & Bugle Corps for years because of their tonal excellence and quality. The Championship FFX snare drums are renowned for their exceptional volume and sensitivity as well as their durability and the precision and smooth action of their snare strainers. The Competitor series drums (snares, tenors and basses included) all have 8 ply Mahogany shells. They are an excellent alternative for the school or Drum Corp that needs good quality instruments on a smaller budget. |

Pearl also makes "indoor" marching percussion equipment. Since indoor drum line competitions are usually held in gymnasiums and other interior spaces that are usually hard and very reflective, these drums are made shallower and smaller in dimension so that they possess tonal qualities that are tight, focused and crisp in order to cut through the reflected background noise and reverberation. Snare drums, Tenors and Bass Drums are all available in the "Indoor" series, and feature 6 ply 100% Maple shells just like their full sized counterparts shown above.

| Pearl's affiliation with the ADAMS percussion company from Holland (makers of fine mallet keyboards, tympani and chimes) has allowed them to provide innovative and excellent quality mallet instruments specifically designed for use "on the field" by marching bands and drum corps. These instruments feature super heavy duty frames with oversized rubber wheels meant to be rolled over pavement, gravel and turf without damage. The Marimbas and Xylophones are also available with weather resistant synthetic bars. |

| Pearl Marching Carriers |
| The latest innovation in marching carriers from Pearl are their new "Mag-Vest Tube" style carriers (below), which feature ultimate adjustability to accommodate players of all shapes and sizes. No other carrier produced provides so much adjustability, the most notable feature being the adjustability of shoulder width. The belly plates are large for maximum distribution of drum weight, and the carriers are ultra light and have comfortable, durable "athletic" type foam padding. | Pearl Magnesium T-Bar marching carriers are designed in classic "T-Bar" carrier style, but have ultra comfortable and durable "athletic" type foam padding, ultra light magnesium construction, and sharp black anodized appearance. Pearl's standard Aluminum T-bar carriers are a modestly priced alternative for the school or Drum Corp on a more limited budget. |

| Marching Carriers by XL Percussion Specialties |
| In addition to those which are available as standard equipment on Pearl drums, we also provide the excellent "XL-lite" line of marching drum carriers. XL was the originator of the first high quality light weight aluminum marching drum carriers, and they have expanded their line to include their new "Aluminum vest" carriers shown at right. No longer does the school or Drum Corp have to cope with the bulky, not adjustable nature of fiberglass carriers in order to benefit from the weight distributing advantages of a "vest" style carrier. The shoulder braces of these carries can actually be carefully "bent" into a shape which is comfortable for the player! Also, the XL's standard Aluminum and Magnesium "T-bar" style carriers are still the standard of the industry (in fact, many large drum companies actually have XL make the carriers they sell with their drums!). |
