Meet Mister Pearl
My name is Rob Engelman and this shop is named after my Dutch nickname, “Mr. Pearl”. Here in the Netherlands, drummers have called me that for years because I am deeply involved with the Pearl brand.
I have played Pearl drums since 1980 and started collecting, restoring and selling Pearl drums around the world—always focusing on that special drum you may have been looking for all your life.
Together with Mr. C.J. Taskas from Australia, I have collected many Pearl catalogues over the years.
Becomming a registered member will give you privileges that unregistered users do not have. Like access to the catalogs we collected, adding items to a personal wishlist to send me off on a chase, manage your bids and orders.
You can also find me on Reverb: https://reverb.com/en-nl/shop/robs-pearl-drum-orphanage. (The prices are higher on Reverb due to all the fees that are charged).
More information about my drum history is available on my personal website: https://sites.google.com/view/rob-engelman
Enjoy the goodies!
