For many years Pearl has been a leader in the Japanese market with the junior-sized drums for use in schools and drum clubs. With the advancement and proliferation of marching percussion in U.S. culture over the past decade the time is right for teachers and parents to have access to a great quality instrument that is sized and priced right for the youngest musicians. Pearl’s Junior Marching Series’ poplar shells provide durability while the age-appropriate sizes allow for even the smallest players to experience the joy and excitement of playing marching drums. Field-ready right out of the box Junior Marching Series drums are finished in a classic #33 Pure White wrap and packaged with a matching pre-assembled white powder-coated MCH20S carrier.
