Autumn fade or Ruby fade?

[calumc]

I'm thinking of buying an ELX kit in one of the new 'fade' finishes, but am unsure which to go for. Which do you prefer?

[Tabla_Man]

I vote Ruby fade, because I have the SRX version, Cranberry fade.;)

[newbeat]

I vote for autumn, because the red fade is awesome, but...it's red. Red is so common, red sports cars, red drum kits...now, that autumn fade is unique and awesome...go for it!

[OWIMdrummer]

I vote for autumn fade because my kit is in autumn fade and i love it!

[JEFFa.k.a.ANIMAL]

I voted for AUTUMN FADE as well. No offense, Tabla_Man, I like ruby fade, too.

[mrbeaver]

The ruby fade is nice, but the autumn fade just looks so classic. The transition area between the shading looks better in the available pictures, too.

Thats what I thought, Autumn fade looks a lot more classy in my opinion - reminds me of the classic 'sunburst' finish you get on guitars.

[cornflake489]

I think that the second one looks really cool. Thats what I'd get.

[Jookbox]

i don't like the autumn fade at all. too much yellow. it's not like the srx vintage fade which starts out orangish/brownish, which is perfect for this type of finish.

Excuse me! My kit is autumn fade thankyou very much and i've had it since september last year because its a limited edition custom kit.

[Jamie]

i thought i would like autumn fade, but i feel also that there is too much yellow, and it doesnt seem to fade so much as suddenly turn to brown, which i dont like. the ruby fade is a stunner however, i wish i had my elx in that now! i like the way the insides of the bd hoops are left natural as well, that looks really classy.
ruby fade, i reckon

[calumc]

I think I'm being slowly pushed towards Ruby fade, I like the classy looks of the Autumn fade but as has been said is a bit too yellow in the pictures I've seen anyway.

[MFDFdrums]

ruby all the way. im not a fan of the brown and yellow, although it does have the classic look. I've always wanted cranberry fade, but i didnt want the sessions...to pricy + maple. Im actually concidering getting the ruby. gotta save though.

[drummer dude 13]

man i love those new fades. does anyone know how much the double bass sets will cost. ive been thinking about getting a new set for awhile and those look really nice.

[JEFFa.k.a.ANIMAL]

The ELX double bass kits list for $2099, which means our price would be between $1200-1300, maybe a little less, but it come with a bit more hardware that the 5-piece kit does.

[BlackLightning]

JEFFa.k.a.ANIMAL what do you mean "our" price would be around $1200-$1300? Im looking to but a new ELX kit soon and im trying to find a good deal for the double bass kit! Also can you get the double bass configuration in Canada or just US?

[drummer dude 13]

when do they start selling them?

[JEFFa.k.a.ANIMAL]

BlackLightning, "our" price refers to the price one could expect to pay in U.S. dollars, as in a price that may be advertised on a website or in a catalog, it represents 40% off of list price.

drummer dude, from what I was told by a Pearl rep, the new colors are expected to ship in March or April, depending on how much warehouse space they have and/or how quick they can get rid of New old stock.

[AntiConformist]

but some stores have already received the new kits!

[snizare]

yea, but thats cos they mustve bought them straight from namm.

[calumc]

I think I've gone off Autumn fade, it just looks a bit too yellow when I look at it now, so I just ordered a 6-piece ruby fade kit (today)! Can't wait for it to get here, end of the month I've been told!:D

my local drum store has the autumn fade(i think) drumset. it looks really cool.

[MIKEQ]

I'd get Ruby Fade. There both great but red is one of me fave colours.

[PeterFox]

I just ordered the Ruby fade and I cannot wait to get it! I live in Moorhead MN right next to Fargo ND, and there is one major music shop here called Margureets (sp?) and they have the same set I order and it is GORGEOUS!

[PeterFox]

TIGHT! These drums (ELX825 RUby Fade) look so nice. Got them out and set up to play for the first time last Saturday and they sound great. I put Pinstripes on them, and baught tone-control rings as well to make the sound more focused and less ringy. Put the Weckl bass muffle in the bass, and I probably should cut a hole in the head and add a pillow, it is just too punchy and loud. The wardware is pimptastic too, quick and easy, very sturdy. It killed me to find a random scratch on the batter-side hoop of the bass drum though :( Is that covered under the warrantee do you think? Anywho this thread has been dead for a while, maybe I will get an answer...

[phily05]

I think both look nice. I can see how tough of a decision this is.

[rockdrummer00]

get ruby fade thats much better then the autem fade in my eyes...but to each its own...

[Carpe Diem]

man the autum fade is sooo f**kin sexy. i am getting a ELX to in autum fade with pro-sonix. i'm really lookin farward to it. good luck on ur ELX man

[PeterFox]

pro-sonix? I am getting an HHX Evolution pack, an HHX evolution 10" splash and an 18" crash... can't wait

[HP Rosco]

heres my kit, i love it :D, the sound sof it is absolutly beutifull, i vote this anyday for apperence for the lasses over ruby fade :D

[HP Rosco]

there ya go ;)

[salislore]

I like the Autumn a little better.

[-4sticks-]

You have to get the Autumn fade. Its so classic, so earthy, so cool. Its a really great way to showcase the grain of the wood. And about the yellowness, you cannot compare this fade to other classic fades, this isnt just a sunburst fade, these are the colors they wanted. The yellow was no mistake, its the yellow of Autumn dude. Forget Ruby.

[PearlDrummer52]

autum is ugly ruby is stunning in person for such a price range

[miss you love]

I voted for Ruby Fade, i like it and my name is Ruby :).

[Promark]

I like the ruby fade aalloott. hope you get it. good luck.

[Pivoman]

Both would look sweet with black hardware, just special order them on a Masters series kit w/ black hardware, but be prepared to wait 6 months.

Just a whacky idea.........love the colors!!

[Bullion]

Ruby fade!! cuz thats what i'm probably getting
the Autumn fade would be nicer if the actual fade wasnt so subtle
theres almost a border between yellow and brown

[drummerboy88]

man... ruby fade destroys autumn... i love my set! its a 5 peice and will be however many peices i can buy with the no money i have in the far future... sheesh... i need a job... how long do you think they will sell expanison packs for the Ruby Fade? a few years or what?

[Phos]

That depends on how long Ruby Fade will continue to exist. But, if you look through these boards it's probably the most popular Session color, so I doubt it's going anywhere anytime soon.

[drummerboy88]

*sigh of relief* because i have no job and no way to raise money right now... and its gunna take time to buy stuff like that...
