Partial Proceeds to be Donated to The National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics in Memory of Chuck Schuldiner and Michelle Meldrum
If you’ve witnessed a performance featuring world-renowned drummer GENE HOGLAN within the past decade or so, chances are you’ve seen him perform with his Pearl Masters Custom Set (pictured above) – utilized on Ozzfest, tours with Opeth, Strapping Young Lad, Unearth, and on Hoglan’s first DVD, The Atomic Clock. The set was also used to record Strapping Young Lad‘s The New Black, as well as records by Tenet, Meldrum, Mr. Plow and Zimmer’s Hole. Now, this drumkit can be yours!
Hoglan is currently auctioning this drumkit, which has been featured in Pearl catalogs and Modern Drummer Magazine, via eBay auction. Partial proceeds from this sale will be donated to The National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics (www.nafcclinics.org), in memory of Death frontman Chuck Schuldiner and Michelle Meldrum.

Some of the proceeds are going to be donated to The National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics in memory of Chuck Schuldiner and Michelle Meldrum, so part of it is going to a good cause.”
The Pearl Masters Custom Set features a 12×9, 15×11, 16×18 and two 24×16 kick drums. It also includes shells, rims, cymbal stands and a tom stand (this includes what is pictured on eBay only).
