Three Pearl products have caused quite a stir in the drumming community as of late. Pearl products have won 2 Musikmesse International Press Awards that were presented at the Musikmesse, the world's largest music products show held annually in Frankfort, Germany. MIPA voting was conducted with input from 31 music magazines from all over the world. Pearl's incredible new H2000 Eliminator Hi-Hat placed first in the Drum Hardware category and Pearl's Mini Ganzeiro placed first in the Small & Effects Percussion division. The H-2000 Hi-Hat uses the revolutionary Eliminator interchangeable cam system to optimize pedal feel and response for the ultimate in fine tuning for an individual's playing style. The Mini Ganzeiro allows the player the
benefits of two instruments in one. It's a stand alone shaker, with the addition of pandeiro jingles, offering two separate sounds that can be played independently or simultaneously.

Our PowerShifter Eliminator Bass Drum Pedals also received a honor from the readers of "DRUM!" magazine. The DRUMMIES are a chance for the drumming public to vote on their choices for the best new drum products of the year. This is not an industry award, but an award for the readers of the magazine, working drummers from all over the US. This year's award for the "Best Hardware" went to our incredible PowerShifter Pedals with an unbeatable list of features, including interchangeable cams, and our unique PowerShifter function.
