Accommodation. Accommodation refers to your eyes’ ability to see things that are both close up and far away. If your pupils are nonreactive to accommodation, it means they don’t adjust when you try to shift your focus to an object in the distance or near your face. Pupils. The pupils are in the center of the iris, which is the colored part of your eye. They control how much light enters the eye by shrinking and widening. Incidentally, Pearl’s 150 hi-hat does not have the reversible tripod - it’s impossible due to the pull mechanism, which has a direct action via a heavy chain, offset from the lower stand tube. Hands on The results of a pupil exam can indicate many conditions, depending on which part of the test was unusual. Uneven size or shape If your pupils have a difference of more than 1 millimeter in size (called anisocoria), or aren’t perfectly round, you may have an underlying condition affecting your brain, blood vessels, or nerves. However, one out of five people with no eye health problems have pupils that are normally different sizes.

In terms of weight, the hi-hat is the heaviest at 6.3lbs (2.8kg), the straight cymbal stand the lightest at 4.8lbs (2.18kg). The equivalent DW 6000 Ultralight hi-hat is almost as heavy at 5.07lbs (2.3kg), but DW’s straight cymbal stand is roughly half the Pearl weight at 2.54lbs (1.15kg). The name Pearl light grey actually serves as additional, auxiliary designation, making the colour easier to remember. This naming system also provides additonal quality assurance preventing erroneous colour assigment due to number transposition. You could argue this defeats the idea of having flat-based stands, but then there may be situations where you need a bit of extra stability or space and the option is there. Note also that other manufacturers’ flat-based stands can at least be lifted enough to form low tripods where overlapping is desirable.Equal. Your pupils should be the same size. If one is larger than the other, your doctor will want to do some additional testing to figure out why.

Light. When your doctor shines a light in your eyes, your pupils should get smaller. If they don’t, there could be a problem affecting your eyes. The straight cymbal stand has three sections with a low bottom section (42cm/16.5") - useful when you want to set a cymbal relatively low down, as opposed to the boom stand which has a relatively higher bottom section at (53cm/21"). The boom arm is the usual hideaway type so you can convert from straight to boom as you see fit.

Cymbals are thus cushioned lovingly and lightly. The hi-hat is the bulkiest item, and feels reassuringly solid. A heavy-duty chain action has a plastic wheel spring tension adjuster for feel, while the footboard is fitted with Pearl’s new Redline Traction Plate. This is an oval insert plate that is removable by undoing four Allen key grub-screws and can be upturned to have the smooth section higher or lower on the footboard. A small thing, but if you’re a toe slider or barefoot player then you might appreciate this flexibility. Bridge Clearance: 7 ft. Will pass under Ludham, Wayford and Wroxham bridges subject to weather and tide conditions. Will only pass under Beccles Old and Potter Heigham bridges at extreme low tide (Bridge pilot service must be used when passing under Wroxham & Potter Heigham bridges).
