Boston Crusaders Percussion Partners with Pearl/Adams

Pearl Corporation and Adams Musical Instruments are proud to welcome the Boston Crusaders to its roster of World Class Drum Corps beginning in the 2022 tour season.

“The Crusaders have a long tradition of design and performance excellence that continually pushes the boundary of musical and artistic achievement. The legendary performance, tonal projection, and durability of Pearl and Adams instruments are a perfect match for the high demands of excellence that BAC arrangers, designers and performers expect on and off the field. Our organizations have a proud history together already, and we are very excited to begin writing a new chapter in that story.”  — Shawn Lafrenz, Senior Marketing Manager for Pearl Corporation

“Having just celebrated its 75th Anniversary, the Pearl Corporation is a perfect match for the Boston Crusaders,” said Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director Chris Holland. “The legendary quality of Pearl/Adams instruments and their commitment to innovation will help us bring fresh, new musical sounds and ideas to life. The Boston Crusaders, like Pearl, is steeped in tradition but very much forward looking – and the future is limitless.”

“This relationship extends to the Inspire Arts & Music city music programs which speaks to the core values of Pearl/Adams. From beginner to professional level, every musician matters. Thanks to this partnership, our students will have access to high quality instruments, allowing Inspire Arts & Music to expand our local programming to more students than ever before.”

The 2022 Boston Crusaders instrumentation will feature Pearl Championship Maple Series battery, Adams Endurance Series keyboards, and Adams Percussion.
