When I was a kid, someone told me to NEVER buy a sparkle drum set because I would get tired of the finish.
35+ years later, I've come to the conclusion that I will never ever get tired of sparkles, and I'm pretty sure that I will never buy another kit that's NOT sparkle. I own a red sparkle Ludwig Classic Maple and a teal sparkle Pork Pie USA custom.


Check out this custom job below. This was THE kit that made me fall in love with Pork Pie drums. If I ever find this kit for sale, I will be buying it.
White sparkle lacquer with red sparkle lacquer diamonds. I love it.

Ludwig Copper Rose Mist. This was only available for about 20 minutes back in 2019. It has since been discontinued.

Since I can't find any drums in this finish like the one above, I think I'll be going with Ludwig Champaign (or Shampaign) sparkle:

DW's broken glass drums are just magical. There is NEVER a good picture of them online. I guess the way the light catches the finish, pictures are never just right. The ones I've seen in person really pop.
