Tim Smith receives endorsement deal from PEARL drums
Posted by The Killdares on Jul 1, 2009
Today we are proud to announce that our own lead-singer/drummer Tim Smith has become an official endorser of PEARL drums.
Tim will be in good company, as he joins a family of top-notch drummers including Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Chad Gracey (Live), Eric Singer (KISS) and Jon Fariss (INXS)…all of whom perform with bands that he has grown up watching and admiring.
When asked about this recent honor, Tim said.. “as a kid, the first and only drummer I was obsessed with was Peter Criss of KISS. I always remember how he was a Pearl endorser as well. So, I find it very fitting that 30 years later I would be playing the same brand of drums as my childhood idol. How appropriate. I’m glad to be part of such an acomplished group of players”
Thanks Pearl! And…Congratulations Tim!
YAY! Go Tim! I heard about your deal and I’m so proud of you! Your new kit sounds awesome!
DW are great but you are going to love Pearl, great hardware and sound, I know, I own 3 sets of them…..EC
Can’t wait to hear you rock on your new Pearl drum set at the Plano Ballon Festival. Friends and family are looking forward to 09/18/2009. Can’t get enough of The Killdares.
