I'm rather fond of Pearl myself. For 20 years I carried a 5 piece chrome set with enough Turkish bronze to suit all over the DFW metro-mess as a "hired gun" drummer for dozens of bands when they were short a drummer. Carried only in soft cases, that set of Pearl drums never failed, always sounded good, and when I sold em and all the trimmings, I got more than I had invested.
Yeah, I like Pearl drums.
Pearls are great. The kit in our studio/practice space is Pearl and they sound great, plus the hardware is top notch - everything stays right where you want it. I do play them (poorly) and like them a lot.
Here are my Pearls I got at GC in Northern VA. I was hunting a 12 inch tom to go with my one 14 and 16 and kickdrum. The add on tom would have been about $600 and I got this whole setup at a nice price for all 4 thanks to another Pearl Drummers Forum member alerting me to it. Info about my story can be found here
Also, if anyone so desires, please view this thread starting at page 6 and you will see a good number of kits I once owned in addition to my Emerald Fade Green beauties.
Thanks Adeian, How'd you like to be me and not have all my kits any more?
I killed myself a ton of times. There were at least 6 more kits on top of these that I have no pics of.
Adrian, I am excited to get a Silver Glitter kit again. The 3 drums I stripped wrap off will look good in new wrap once added to the 22 inch Kick in that finish.
