Beginning with their audition camps for the 2013 Membership, the Phantom Regiment will rely on Pearl/Adams for all of their battery percussion, hardware, world percussion, and concert percussion needs. Previously they endorsed Dynasty drums and percussion. Dan Twiford, Marching Percussion Marketing Manager for Pearl, explains :

"Pearl/Adams is incredibly proud to be partnered with the Phantom Regiment organization. They have always exemplified class in the drum corps community, and Pearl/Adams products will perfectly compliment what they do as an organization – top quality competitive performances and great educational programs for today’s and tomorrow’s performers."

The Phantom Regiment is under the direction of Executive Director Rick Valenzuela and Program Director Dan Farrell. Leading the percussion staff is battery arranger and caption head Shane Gwaltney and front ensemble arranger Matt Jordan. Rick Valenzuela states:

"We look forward to playing on Pearl/Adams equipment. “Pearl & Adams have a history of providing great quality instruments, whose sound will fit the Regiment very nicely."

It will only be a few short months before the world will experience the Pearl/Adams sound featured in Phantom Regiment's 2013 production for the first time.
