Where SRX color is your favorite?

[drumsRfun]

whats everyones favorite?

[GrooveMaster]

vintage fade is my personal favorite, just because i've never seen it before on any other kit...i love mine!....but if i had to choose any other color, i think the cranberry fade and marine fade are pretty sweet! SRX kits ROCK!

-The GrooveMaster

[Nihilist]

The marine fade kills. Its what I have.

[Carl Peterson]

Hey- but the common donominator is they ROCK..Man they sound great right of of the box!!!

[Tabla_Man]

...and they jazz too.;)

[GMSDrummer]

id like to know what the carbon mist color looks like. ive heard that it looks good in the catalogs, but in person its an ugly kinda brown color. what does it really look like? thanks, o and i voted for marine fade.

o, GUYS WHY DID YOU DISCONTINUE TOPAZ MIST!!!!!!!!!!!! i was about to buy my SRX kit, but then you discontinued that and i changed my mind about even GETTING the SRX!!! tisk, tisk......

[Carl Peterson]

Topaz is still avail to get..The carbon..(sorry no pic at this time), is BLACK..not washy looking,(brown)..

[TLD]

Cranberry fade is pretty dang cool.;)

[Tabla_Man]

Yep, that's what I've got. Besides, you know red drumsets are faster.:D

[TLD]

haha

[Charlie]

burnt amber!

[sd7777777]

Anyone else in the world have Dusk Blue, like me? I bought mine last year in September, and it seemed like everyone had Vintage Fade in stock, and I didn't want the same finish as everyone else, and liked the Dusk Blue. The Dusk Blue actually looks kind of like an aqua or green under some light. Kind of a conservative classy color.

[Carl Peterson]

I named it Dusk because it reminded me of the sky before it gets pitch black..

[sd7777777]

A cool look and a cool name for the color and great sounding drums!

[Carl Peterson]

Thanks!

[drumsRfun]

hey sd7777777 do u have a pic of your set? if u do can u either post it or send it to me?

[sd7777777]

Sorry but I don't have any pictures that I can put online.-no scanner or digital camera.

[drumsRfun]

aww that sucks..well if u ever get one on, try to send it or post it somethin

[JC]

I dont really know whats my favorite, but i always liked the classy red color for any drumset. But the Cranberry mist is an ugly bright red. If only they had wine read. But ill say Vintage fade. I just wish the Export serries had colors like Vintage Fade, Midnight Fade, Sunrise Fade, and all the other fade colors. They give an more expensive look to the drum.

[creep]

CARBON MIST BABY!

[drumsRfun]

i think im goin with the marine blue

[K-Boogie]

I have the carbon mist...talk about classy! They don't look brown at all. They are THE BOMB! Whoever thought they were brown looking probably was looking at the Export Select Ebony Mist...which might look like that in some examples, although I have seen some of those that look decent too.

[Aphasian_Drummer]

Hey...could you possibly post a pic of your set? Or even e-mail me one? I'm dying to know what carbon mist looks like (not the site pic, cause I've heard it's not too accurate). My local music stores don't have one, and I don't know anyone who does. Thanks a million.

[K-Boogie]

I don't have any pic of my set yet...I only see it twice a week for rehearsal until rehearsals rotate back to my place. I'll try to get a picture or two and post it, or even e-mail it.

[stevo]

If you could put black hardware on the cran fade it would be the business, its still cool tho.

[Crabtree]

My favotite color in the SRX line is Topaz Mist.

[sirfresh]

I dig Topaz Mist too, but they discontinued it! Just like my color, Cranberry Mist. I like bright red drums.

When I was a kid, there were always Pearl ads in Modern Drummer showing kits in "Coral Red" and "Sequoia Red," and I thought they were the coolest of drums. That's why I got Cranberry Mist. Now, Pearl doesn't even offer bright red drums anymore. Weird. To me, that's like not offering Cadillacs in black.

[Carl Peterson]

Yeah,but if you need a drum,we can get it for you even though it's discontinued..

[sirfresh]

Yeah, I know, and thank you. In fact, I'm gonna be ordering two drums in the next couple weeks.

But what I'm saying is, it's weird to me that Pearl stopped featuring this color. Bright red Pearls to me are like... I dunno... wine red Yamahas, walnut Gretsches and black oyster Ludwigs. But I guess that's just me.

[Danny3933]

Can anyone tell me the name of color #286? It's a nice red, but it was sent to me in error.

Thanks!

[PADman]

#286 - Cranberry Mist - Discontinued Color

[Carl Peterson]

PADMAN..
Get with your dealer so we can make it RIGHT for you..Thanks,Carl

[PADman]

Thanks Carl, but I was answering a question for Danny3933. He's the one seeking help...not me.
:cool:

[Musician]

#100 wine red is a killer deep lustrious finish, it should be one of the SRX options.

Why don't you remove the paper from under your bass drum claws? Thats for shipping purposes...;)

[creep]

I know, I'm lazy .. heh

[K-Boogie]

Creep, thanks for the post. Aphasian Drummer asked me to post my Carbon Mist set, but my scanner went tango uniform (military talk for t.u., or **** up). Anyway, I digress. Thanks for squaring him/us away. Your set looks great. I think that all the SRX finishes are nice, but I picked the Carbon Mist because it looked the most business-like to me. The dark finish gives off more shine and represents the clear laquer better....me thinks.

[Baunche]

Dusk blue all the way!!!! just about every other SRX kit i've seen has been vintage fade. I'm not badmouthing the fade, but it just dsen't do it for me. I just think dusk blue is really classy and elegant looking. I like the fact that some people say it's more bluish, and some people say it's more greenish. Very controversial color, I love it!!!!!!!

[1337pearldood2002]

marine fade blue all the way! bsides, it would go gr8 w/ the color of my bedroom:D

[Nikkodrummer]

vintage fade ROCKS!!!! (and Jazzes, too)

[ElectroQTed]

Topaz Mist #287. The colour stands out without being too bold - very classy. Its a warm, almost natural colour for wood. I love the way it details the grain. I just picked up a totally custom kit in this colour from a local dealer - 9x10, 10x12 rack toms, 16x16 floor tom, 16x24 bass drum, 6.5x14 snare. They had ordered it from Pearl with no buyer for it, just to have it in the store. I was interested, so they let me take it home for a weekend trial. The drums never made it back out of the house!:D

They let you take the drums home to try them out? How cool is that?!?! I would do business with them exclusively. Things don't fly like that in America, haha. Take care. :D

Yeah, it's the coolest, and yes, I shop there exclusively. They will do that for you once they get to know you. I bought my first kit there about 3 years ago and all other gear in between. They also have the best selection, pricing and staff around. We're lucky to have such a great music store in our area. Oh, and I might as well give them the plug they deserve: This great company is Sherwood Music!

[EHSsnare03]

I'm happy the marine blue fade color has benn voted the best so far. I just wanna say that I am a proud owner of one in that color

[jazzmo]

Yeah, Vintage fade finish is awesome. I have just played this new set for 24/7, I love it!!! Yeah, but the other colors are cool too...

[drummerchick]

Burnt Amber. :)

Of course, I'm a little partial...

[drumwerker]

Vintage Fade is a great selection - when I first saw a set it reminded me of a The Sunburst Fender Stratocaster pattern. I've been very happy with my set which is a 2001 model - the finish is not only great looking but durable as well. I was worried that a natural finish wouldn't hold up to drum key drops or stick falls as well as an acrylic wrap, but it's proved itself to be tough.

As the vote seems to be proving, it pretty close between the Vintage Fade and the Marine Fade. Pearl has made a wise decision offering more than just one "Fade" color choice for 2002 unlike 2001.
:o

[EBdrummer18]

What About Platinum Mist?
I just got a platinum Mist SRX Saturday. I love it. I guess it was a limited run of it. Maybe Carl can let me know if that is true.

[EHSsnare03]

are you sure it's an srx? cause I have never seen an SRX in that color. And Pearl doesn't have it available. Nor did they mention it anywhere on thier web site. I'm not doubting you or anything but I'm just not really sure about it. See if you can send a picture.

[EBdrummer18]

Yes it is an SRX. Quixat has one also. Its a 5pc. fusion size kit. PLATINUM MIST. From what the dealer told me, it was a very limited color run.

[drum5432]

I just got a Seesion Custom Vintage Fade for Christmas. It's by far my favorite color. I couldn't believe it. As soon as I walked in the store, I knew that I was going to walk out with it. I ended up buying gig bags so i don't scratch the shells. FInally, I'm ready to jazz it up!!

i though i was the only person that liked burnt amber... too bad they take forever to come in.

[drummerchick]

Hey Feck, did you have to special order or something? The only reason I have a burnt amber burnish kit is because it was the only good kit in the store I was at. So I guess I lucked out. :)

yeah, burnt amber is the only special order color in the srx line.

[drummerchick]

Really........I didn't know that! All the more reason to take care of them! :)

[crosstrainer_k]

I'm about to order my SRX kit and the color choice is probably the hardest to make. I know what pieces I want but pick a color? Should I really care?..then again..it does make a difference I guess. I'm going with the Blue Mist...a slight edge over the Marine Fade...

The vintage fade set is awesome. I got one for xmas too, as a gift frm my wife it was a huge suprise i could have died. I love love love the set. Oh, and my wife too :)

[Fran]

marine blue fade, sweet color

[Punk Drummer]

Cranberry Fade is definetley my favourite color, nothin beats that.

[crash1x]

Vintage fade all the way probably the hottest looking paintjob i have seen on a drum set........

[sirduffy]

Cranberry fade. I want one!

[Prog Freak]

Marine Blue Fade all the way! Guitar Center had only one MBF fusion kit. I'm suprised I got it since it's a new color.

I really like my drums. *drool* :D

1) Laziness. One day I might take them off. Maybe.

2) The snare is an all maple Masters Custom in Amber fade. An amazing sounding drum which compliments the SRX perfectly. I only bought a 4 piece shell pack.

:)

[antiviolent]

I think marine Fade with black hardware would look really cool... anyone else?

[antiviolent]

by the way, topaz mist. I heard Gene say it was still available on order. Was topaz a yellow, or more of a natural color?

[sirfresh]

Topaz Mist was kick ***! It was yellow. Go to the top of the page and check out the bass drum next to Dennis---that's what it was.

[MFDFdrums]

No question...Cranberry fade

[broken ride maker]

Does any body have a picture of vintage fade?

[crosstrainer_k]

just got a Marine Blue Fade SRX 925 kit with an extra 10 Tom. First concert last night ..right out of the boxes...and all I heard were how great they looked and how they rocked! Thank you Pearl....I am in heaven !!!....

[yoho]

Marine blue is the one!!

[raphael]

Does exist Marine Blue? Without the fade? Thanks, Raphael.

[sjwilson]

i like the burnt amber- i have a export select with 1999-2000 long lugs and i think they look very sweet, and i just purchased a sessions kit in platnium mist, apparently this was a limited edition
kit from what i have been told, i jumped on it because i have never seen a sessions kit in this color before, has anyone else ever
seen this color and does any one know when they came out?

[MrDrummer]

vintage fade is the best no questions asked

[Fixxxer]

i think i voted vintage fade

but i like the Dusk Blue the best

[miss you love]

I had a hard time choosing between vintage fade and cranberry fade but went with the vintage fade... 'twas hard to choose. :)

[SommerUmarmung]

Dude, I'm all about the cranberry fade

[SommerUmarmung]

[sjwilson]

I like the cran and vintage fades myself, but i also like knowing that i have a color that is not as common as the rest, no offence
gentlemen and ladies. i would like to see pearl step up to the plate in the near future and offer raps in a multitude of colors and
sparkles like some of the custom drum makers do: ie spaun, gms
thumper etc, i am sold on pearl but would love to have a set that
was custom but not in lacquer. and not a reto color although they are a step in the right direction.

[pearldrumer4life8]

marine blue alll the way!

[drumsRfun]

lol i made this thread like over 10 months ago and i made a stupid typo, i put where srx color is your favorite instead of which srx color is your favorite haha its been read like over 6000 times i bet everyone thinks im an idiot...lol fair enough

[D.Ray!]

I love my vintage fade srx kit. Best color ever created to date.

[Scolecite]

HOLY CRAP can I get SRX with black hardware?

[joeythedrummer]

Black hardware is not an option in the SRX line. That would be nice though.

Anyways, I have a Dusk Blue kit and I love it!!! All the colors in this line are nice but the Dusk Blue just took the cake.

[nic77]

cranberry fade all the way. Might get one soon

[njdrummer13]

man, my fav is the burnt amber, its eye catching. absolutley love it. i dont know why more people dont like it. maybe it botheres their eyes? i dont know.:confused:

[drumsrcool101]

[zack1956]

Mine's Cranberry Fade

Good Lord! :rolleyes: Another SNAFU which corrects the first :confused: ... GEne told me he thinks the kit is a 2000 or earlier as wine red was available for it... ok, I'm sticking with my first answer.... but MBF still a favorite.
