That tom looks great!Found original delmar wrap,,,and had the 16” floor Tom wrapper,,,matches my pdp cx blue onyx perfect,,,cheers
Get a hold of Gary from precision drums,,,he can get it,,,,That tom looks great!
Couple of questions:
* Where in the world did you manage to find a single Pacific CX 16" floor tom? They are nearly impossible to locate. (What color was it originally?)
* Where did you locate the matching Blue Onyx wrap?
GeeDeeEmm
Good information, Bluekit. I don't need one, as I bought all the drums available when I purchased my CX kit in 2000. Glad I did, too, 'cause finding the 16" and 8" toms now is extremely difficult. Heck, somebody might make a few coins if they could find a way to assemble new 16" CX-style floor toms. There's certainly a market for them.Get a hold of Gary from precision drums,,,he can get it,,,,
I found a lx series drum same shell as cx,,and hadit wrapped,,,,
I bought a whole sheet,,,so there some left to do the 8”
The delmar code is vf-2101- pdp blue onyx
Google delmar products catalog
It under non-standard celluloid
I got tired of constantly looking for the tom,,,,or seeing won’t sell 16” tom drum separate,,,,
My plan was to use a 16”Tom first made in Mexico,,,cx,lx,mx series,platinum series,,second plan was ax7 series,,,third concept,,,series,,and change the lugs,,,,fourth Keller maple shell ,,,and buy cx lugs,on line,,,,as u can see there is options,,,,
I would get the wrap first,,,then go from there
I found a 8”x 7”( the other add on),, with the suspension mount bracket,,,,that one is a maple x-7 series,,ill have it wrapped later,,,,that should complete the whole set,,,,
I absolutely love the Ludwigs with the mach lugs! My next kit is going to have those!!!I just got the Gibraltar Ultra Adjust flat base stand for my tom.
It's GREAT!
This one has the plastic-y type grips, but they have a raised piece in the center, and it doesn't choke the tone. I'd prefer rubber, but for the positioning I'll just loosen it a touch.
This stand has put the tom in EXACTLY the spot I want, and EXACTLY the angle I want, without compromising anything else.
Haven't bought anything else lately, because, I'm after a Dunnett Classic 2N 6.5 Stainless Steel snare.
That's keeping all other GAS at bay. Have a few bumps in the road yet, but the "drum fund" is getting there
Every time I try to post a picture on here it says that the file size is too large. How do I get around this?

I almost bought a set of these on clearance in 1994. How do you like the sound? Solid craftsmanship for sure.I seem to be going mad at the moment much to my wife's displeasure.........
Picked this Pearl BLX up today in Sequoia Red. 10/12/13/16/22 for restoration

I still have my 1987 Coral Red 6 piece WLX (10, 12, 13, 16, with 6.5×14 steel shell snare). Birch with Philippine mahogany thin shells and original coffin lugs. Still enjoy them to this day. Good luck with your new purchase. What heads do you find work best with these?Well seeing as I finished & sold my Pearl World Series kit, Another one came up locally today so, rude not to buy it & do it all over again..........
