[Beats Me, Supplies]
The whole shop is full of the sounds of people testing various percussion instruments -- drums, xylophones, rattles, all rising in a cacophony of discordant beats.  Four rooms branch off from the main supply room, each selling different materials for the various instrument available.  A giantess sits behind the counter in the center of the room, silently watching the goings on with an apparent lack of interest.

[Beats Me, Hardwoods]
The mother of the children in the softwoods section is in this room enjoying a little of the peace and quiet that that distance between her and the kids affords her.  A large xylophone in the far corner sits on three unsteady legs, just waiting for the unwary person to attempt a tune and bring the whole thing crashing to the floor.  The instruments in here seem to be a bit more in order than the others, it must have been tidied in the last year or so.

[Beats Me, Metals]
The variety here is sparse since Pearl has been smart enough to keep the more expensive of her stock in a backroom somewhere.  A few copper banded bongos and a brass xylophone sit among some tin sistrums and brass-inlaid rattles on a small display counter.  The rest of the room is pretty barren beyond that and therefor doesn't attract much clientele.
Also here: Eternity.
Obvious exits: northwest.

[Beats Me, Softwoods]
Several small children under the not quite watchful eye of their mother dart around the room beating on drums and making a general ruckus.  Pearl glances at them every now and then but doesn't make a move to stop the little children as they run about screaming and giggling.  One little boy has found a large water organ pushed up against the far wall and is hard at work beating on its keys.

[Beats Me, Woods]
Wooden drums of all kinds are scattered across the floor, some piled one upon the other, and some actually still on the racks where they belong.  A bin full of rattles and sistrums creates a tangled mess in one corner while the other is piled high with loose skins and cloths.  Several people walk through and tap on the drums experimentally before moving on.
