Since it's beginning, the Pearl company has changed the face of the music industry as we know it today. From continually raising the standards of quality in all of their products, to having only the best artists in the world endorse them. This year at NAMM 08 another milestone was achieved as Pearl aquired famed Kamelot drummer Casey Grillo as one of their new artists. Last week, after a private lesson at Seminole Music and Sound I was able to sit down with Casey to discuss the details surrounding his new move to Pearl. Here is an exerpt from the exclusive interview brought to you first by Drummer Connection!
Drummer Connection (DC): So recently you just signed with Pearl?
Casey Grillo (CG): Yeah, Pearl drums.
DC: Congratulations!
CG: Thanks.
DC: So how did that come across and what are your feelings on that now?
CG: They approached me at the booth. A guy in Canada named Regg? I don't know his last name but he approached me at the booth, asked me what was going on and made me some offers that I couldn't refuse-like being able to get kits in other countries and stuff. It was REAL easy for them to do that and I felt that I needed to grow at that point. And their kits are just amazing! The kit that I'm getting... it's gonna be SICK! When I sent them an email recently of the kit I wanted I said " this is the kit if my dreams."

Casey, that's great news. To think that we met the same day you hooked that deal with Pearl is a trip. Keep it real!

Casey Grillo is a really great guy and an amazing all around musician. One of the artists to watch for this year as Kamelot travels to Europe for their Rule The World Tour 2008!
