I just wanted to share something with my Canadian friends who own Pearl drums. Did you know that any drums or hardware purchased after June 2009 are all under Pearls Lifetime warranty.If for any reason you have a warranty issue with Pearl products and want to Contact Pearl Canada ( Erikson music is the main distributor for Pearl) you PM me and I will gladly give you the name of the Percussion Distribution Manager for Pearl Canada. He is a realy nice guys and a Professional drummer himself. I had a snare issue if you guys have read it on my post " should I worry about my MCX snare" and you will see that I got great results dealing with Erikson music when others didn't. The reason for that like I mention is the Manager. Anyway any info you need on Pearl Canada just ask I'm here. Cheers.
