Hey there guys, just wondering if anyone could help me out and tell me what Pearl kit this is? or just any information would be appreciated.

Thanks :)

I'n no vintage expert, and it's hard to tell with only one photo, but i'd say.........early 60's?

It actually looks like a Slingerland kit with a Pearl Drum head.

HOLY TOM ANGLES, BATMAN!!!

(Well, somebody had to say it!!)

Are there any badges on the bass drum or toms? And can you get a closer pic of the lugs and the tom mount on top of the bass drum?

I think the finish is Blue Onyx (could be wrong, though) but I don't think Pearl ever had that wrap. Could be wrong again, there.

The floor tom looks to be upside down.

the lugs on that blue kit arent the same teardrop shape as slingerlands..can you get closer shots of the lugs or badge?

[Mr. B.]

I’ve the same request as above for close ups...

It does look like those are pearl leg mounts on the floor tom.

Pearl started using “Blue Oyster Pearl” wrap and metal bass hoops in 1969, here's a page from their ‘69 catalog.

Thanks heaps guys, sorry im not able to get a closer photo of anything because it is not mine. I am wanting to buy it off an online auction site here in NZ. Similar to Ebay. What about the snare, does that look like a Pearl badge on it?

You can't contact the seller?

[Mr. B.]

If your happen to bid and win we’ll all expect more photos. ;)

Good luck!

Heres the link guys, just don't buy it coz its mine haha. He said he dosn't have a camera. I'll just buy it anyway. Looks vintage enough for me. Will be a bit of fun restoring etc..

Im geussing that no one spotted that Ludwig Speed-King sat right in the middle?

Looks like around 1970 ish to me..Picture a little hard to tell...Pedal is a TAMA Imperialstar circa 1977..

The six lug floor tom, dual rail tom mount and groovy finish would lead me to date this kit in the late 1960's.

The snare drum and bass drum pedal don't seem to be original to this kit.

The upside down floor tom is a nice touch. :)

[CARL PETERSON]

Actually, allot of the floors had 7 lugs in the later 60's which is a real pain when trying to find hoops...like I am right now for one of my 69' kits..I thought the same about the snare when I saw it, but the lugs look like same era,but badge doesnt match the lugs...Weird....

[DED]

Seven lug floor toms?!?! What next, 13" snare drums?




Oh







Wait.






Never mind!
:D
