Musicians Institute is excited to announce a new partnership with Pearl Drums, establishing MI as a flagship showcase center for Pearl’s prestigious Masters and Reference series drum sets. This collaboration provides our drum students with an unparalleled drum education and opportunity to hone their skills on industry-leading instruments, directly contributing to their development as professional drummers.
MI drum students can now practice and perform on the same kits used by some of the world’s most acclaimed drummers. By providing access to Pearl’s top-tier drums, we’re empowering our students to explore their full potential and refine their sound with the highest quality gear.
