What about this color? Ocean Sparkle

[Carl Peterson]

OCEAN SPARKLE...These are really nice!! Thought I'd share! Notice the Flame Maple and LTD edition Platinum kits in the background..

[GrooveMaster]

yeah, that's from the namm last year right? Hey I'd buy all the finished if i could ;)....but that is a nice one, and I would definately consider it in the future!

-The GrooveMaster

[Rafiki8821]

Nice! is that regular silver hardware or grey(i think its called satin). the kit with gold stands behind it is also nice.

[mperry29]

one of my all time favorites--ocean sparkle with satin chrome.

carl,
is it possible to order a MRX masters in this color? i'm just about sold if you can...

[Crabtree]

Very nice finish the Ocean Sparkle that is.

BTW Can Antique Gold be ordered in BRX anymore?

[Joey]

That with satin hardware would rock. Although, silver sparkle with blue hardware would be better...

[GrooveMaster]

my new BRX kit is Antique Gold and it rock! Now it's my new favorite color!

[GaP13]

hey carl! from all the master colors you have on the pearl website list,I would buy this one...:D

[mR.dnA]

Too bad the Exports aren't offered with any Sparkle finishes - I love that look!!

[luvmydrumz]

This is really a nice looking kit. Anybody got about 5 grand lying around? I wish I did.:cool:

[budpnut]

i love the sparkle kits but has anyone seen the tamo finishes i have one that is scuba blue tamo and it is the coolest color i have ever seen let me know if anyone has any tamo kits

Saw a blue tamo MW kit back in the UK last week. Cool, but not my cup of tea...

[GrooveMaster]

man, scuba blue tamo is one awsome finish...i have seen it a few times, and almost bought it, but decided to got with the Irridecsent white sparkle instead....what sizes are your kit?

[Hoody]

Ocean sparkle MMX, they tell me there's only one in Australia, so I might have to settle for natural finnish, but ocean sparkle would be hot. Best color Pearl's had since Pacific blue in 91-9 2SLX range.

[lorddraco98]

that's an awesome color! Now if I could afford it :(

[Rafiki8821]

hey lorddraco, where in mass do you live? I just realized you live in my state. I live next to springfield.

i'm about an hour's away. Near Worcester

[1337pearldood2002]

id buy it!!! hmmmmm...now all i need is some money......ooh! a penny! just 49,999 to go!
also id like to see it w/ black hardware.... :D

[Rafiki8821]

is that color a wrap or a laquer? I know most sparkles are wraps but i was looking in a masters catalog and it was talking about pearls 31 step laquering process and didn't talk about wraps. The more i look at this set the more i want it.

[mperry29]

no, it's a lacquer. i think these days, most sparkles are lacquers.

[elmo]

hoody,

down here in melbourne they told me that there was only one MMX Ocean Sparkle too. but i drove to the next drum shop, about a 45 min drive and found another guy selling an Ocean Sparkle, only this time with satin hardware. looks very very hot!

Drummer magazine here in australia says that Lemon Burst finish on a masterworks is a limited color and there will only be 5 in australia. but i asked the guys here and it seems that lemon burst is a stock finish.

[MikeB]

Carl, I definatly would buy it. It reminds me of my teachers old round badge Gretsch kit. Anyway, that baby combined with satin hardware makes me drool. I think I need a bib.

[GMSDrummer]

i know a guy that has a $3500 original Bady snare in stave construction jara wood (4x14"). its so early that there isnt even a badge on it.

his friend was willing to trade him a whole MMX kit in Ocean sparkle for that one snare.

[MikeB]

Odd... You would think only Innovation would be cocky enough to charge that.

[Carl Peterson]

Sorry,but no snare is worth that..yeah I know I know..Black Beauties included..Its a drum people..

[DED]

I gotta agree with Carl. . .I just paid $600.00 for a bronze Dunnett and that's about as much as I can see spending on a snare and I'm not sure I'd ever spend that much on a drum again.

And yes, the Dunnett is incredible! :cool:

yeah i no that its not worth that much MORALLY. you could get a Paiste/Ocheltree snare for less than that.

but i swear i was there when i heard the guy offer him his whole kit for that snare. but he does have like 3 kits, so it wasnt THAT much of a setback for him.

and BTW carl, if you are talking about LUDWIG BB's (the oldies) then you are right. but if you are talking about SLINGERLAND BB's (oldies) then you are mistaken (not to sound harsh). the slingerland BB's can go for the same as the jara.

and BTW, i was saying $3500 loosly and in terms of if it was sold on ebay.

thanks everyone.

No way its worth 3.5 large in your monopoly money. I could buy one brand new for $1500 Aussie pesos, = about US$800.
Not worth it, for the best recording snare you can buy, it's a bargain. Will soon eclipse black beauty as most recorded snare. You wouldn't know it because endorsee's can't blab about using other companies snares (and sometimes whole kits), just ask producers and engineers.

[Carl Peterson]

I was offered 9k for a Slingerland BB..I said no..Theres only like 3 in existence..and no..its not for sale..I was talking about the old Ludwigs..:D

but this one isnt a new one that you could just go out and buy and have the same price!! its this much beause its an original and most likely one of the first 20 to be made by Brady.

[MikeB]

Carl, you got any picks of your Slingerland BB? I am really interesting in vintage gear!

[BAMF]

I'm not a fan of the satin hardware with this finish. The sparkle is a bright finish so it should be complimented with shiny hardware. The satin looks kind of dull next to the sparkle. I am a fan of the satin crome in other finish combinations. just my opinion.

[Carl Peterson]

Oh probally have a pic somewhere..It's in storage in Raleigh, North Carolina..Im in Nashville,TN..

[1337pearldood2002]

Yea! Have any of you checked out the Ocean Sparkle in Color Selecter w/ Black Hrdwre? That's friggin' awesome! Check it out!

[1337pearldood2002]

Gosh darnit....took a pic of the thingy.....

[PADman]

Like this?

[GMSDrummer]

i like the silver sparkle with black.

oohh...

[jddrummer666]

Carl, You have a sweet vintage collector snare and you dont even play it? I bet it sounds amazing. If you're not gonna play it atleast have it in a pexi-glass cube or something hehe. With infra-red lasers around it. And hire a security guard to patrol around your house. That would really suck if the storage place threw it out or something. I bet you're gonna check up on it now. :p

[jddrummer666]

To me that ocean sparkle would look alot better with black hardware. It looks nothing like it does on the site. Which is kinda a good thing.

[pdrums]

im sorry but that ocean sparkle looks horrible, with the satin and black hardware, just doesnt look right to me

[wpass1440]

HEY , THAT'S FUNNY JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST MASTERS SET IN
"OCEAN SPARKLE" WITH SATIN FINISH

KOOL SET AND SOUNDS THE BALLS.



:)

[opus138]

I'd take it... I wouldn't buy it. ;) Looks good for a 50's/60's cover band. Too many pieces for that, though.

[SKiezws]

Im not too big on bright blue drum sets...and the sparkle doesnt do it any justice. IMO they just wasted some perfectly good shells.

[MikeB]

If I was going to buy a Pearl kit it would be Masterworks and be like this...

Finish: Ocean Sparkle
Hardware Finish: Satin
# of Plies: 4
Shell Material: Maple
Hoops: MasterCast
Suspension: OptiMounts
Snare Strainers: MultiTimbre Snare Strainer on Main Snare, SR-018 on Aux. Snare
Heads: Coated Ambassadors on Tom Batters, Clear Ambassadors on Tom Resonants. Coated Ambassadors on Snare Batters, and Ambassador Hazy Snare Side on Snare Resonants. Coated Ambassador on Bass Batter, Coated Ambassador Pearl Masterworks logo head on Bass Resonant.

Bass Drum - 20x16
Main Snare - 14x6
Aux. Snare - 13x5
Toms - 10x8, 12x9, 14x12, 16x14

[mati32]

The sparkles seems too flashy to be with satin hardware.

This set ain't for me..

[SKiezws]

I think it would look best with chrome hardware...but it would still be ugly.

[Lil_drummer_girl]

I like it :)

ooks like mine but sparkly hehehe

me got blue mist elx

[M.A.P.D. drummer]

thats my favortie finish i have seen on a pearl so far

[drumwerker]

It's a beautiful set but I'm partial to fades myself.

Someone mentioned Tamo finishes and I'd have to agree that they are the hands-down winner in the "looks" category.

[rockdrummer00]

wow,I would defenitaly buy that finish!

[jonesie196]

now all you have to do is make it avaible in an elx.....lol

[Tanco]

Hey Carl,
Is ocean sparkle still available, it is lighter than blue sparkle right?
Are there any in the Netherlands?
Would it be possible to order just a snare?
It's beautyfull like this:

[esu.chobo]

Man, when I could by my MMX again it would be Ocean Sparkle with Satin hardware instead Antique Gold with Chrome. But it looks ok too :)

u aint happy with your kit dude?

[ChoBo]

To be completely honest, not to 100%.
I didn't informate myself enough about other Masters then MMX because I thought MMX is the top-of-the-line kit in the Masters series. So I didn't look at MRX and BRX and the differences. It's not the perfect kit for my music styles, Hard Rock/NuMetal.
And I'm not very satisfied with Antique Gold, it doesn't look as beautiful as I thought when I saw pics in this forum.

[Carl Peterson]

Tanco....

I dont know stock in other countries..sorry..The Ocean color is lighter than regular blue..Heres a pic..I just PM'd you BTW..Plz respond on it..Thanks,Carl

[Tanco]

[ChoBo]

I don't like its sound and look, that's very sad :( Do you think M&T could/would really help me?

Concerning the name change, after I PMed Hook 2 times and asked him for a name change he didn't react, so I just made a new account. Looks mutch better

well just give the M&t guys a call and let them know that u arent satisfied with the way the kit looks and sounds maybe they´re interested in helping you and will offer u a refund or maybe they´ll offer u to get another kit in the ply config and wood as well as color u want ..

[ChoBo]

Carl, can I custom order Ocean Sparkle for MRX?

[DRUMBOO]

ocean sparkle should be avail as a special order (4-6 months)

i don´t remember who said it but i think the add 10% for special order here in germany

[Carl Peterson]

I'd say yes to MRX..You'd have to wait 6-8 months...

[miss you love]

that's a beautiful colour !
i really like the one on the far right ? it looks sort of like vintage fade ??

[COS]

Carl, Ithink someone else asked this but can someone order just a snare and if so what sizes, availability, and can you get a 6.5 in a 20 lug configuration? Thanks

Does this kit have chrome or satin finish?

[Dave Hartman]

If I had the money, it would be mine.
