Anyone know about vintage Pearl Fiberglass shell drums?

[freehandstyle]

I found one on craigslist and I don't know anything about Fiberglass shells made by Pearl.

the seller told me it's a 1972 era drum.

i was just wondering if anyone can tell me more about it. thanks!

They are loud. I've played the Pearl fiberglass shells, and I had a Blaimere fiberglass kick for quite a few years. A lot of the qualities associated with acrylic drums can also be said of fiberglass shells.
