OK - these drums finally arrived at my house today and here's some preliminary shots of what I'm calling my Pearl Vision Signature kit!
I'll be installing new heads on these tomorrow so as soon as I can I'll post a video. I'm really digging' the look and can't wait to use these on my music projects. I'm sure it'll make the "My drums must match" crowd turn away in disgust. But for some reason it's speaking to me.
I noticed that on eBay there are a lot of orphan drums on there. When you look at Pearl Vision drums, there's a lot of orphaned NEW drums being sold for a song. So I thought it would be cool to just enjoy the savings by sacrificing the unified look. After all, they're all from the Vision series and are birch-ply. The snare drum is my trusty 5x14 Supraphonic (a gift from Kevin Packard over a Pearl), and the bass drum is 18x20 (not my first choice, I want a 14x20), the two rack toms are 8x10 and 7x8, and the floors are 14x14 and 16x16 (I wanted those different but it was a two pack selling at a great price!). Colors represented are all discontinued (making this kit even more collectible): red strata, gold strata, orange sparkle, and wine red. I'm debating finding a 9x12 tom and having more toms - but I hardly ever play more than a 4-piece so this is probably more than enough as it is. Enjoy the pictures!
