Hey,
I have a couple sets of Pearl Exports. I have no idea what year they are or anything else. I wondering if any of you might be able to tell me the shell material, or how to find that out. I'm trying to get a decent sound out of the bass drum, and i'm having no luck.
These are the badges from the 2 sets, off the bass. I'm using the drums with the badge like the one on the top. I assume its newer. The other set, with the badge like the bottom picture have a serial number, and i just noticed that. Anyways, can someone identify these and give me some info on them?
I had always thought the ones with the top badge had birch shells. Its a really light and smooth wood. Im starting to think its poplar. The one with the badge like the bottem...it almost looks like partial board. Its kind of course with a lot of whitish looking specks in it. It hardly looks like wood. Ive never been able to get these drums to sound worth a darn. But i haven't tried as many heads on them.
Thanks,
Jesse
