I have a (circa 1984) pearl set that I ordered through the "Created Drum
Shoppe" when they existed here in Phoenix.
I had them special ordered with rims and without the pearl tom mounting.

They are 8 play Maple, Stained dark brown, lacquered inside and out. I have the Serial Numbers.
I'm wondering what the product line was called.

The BD and FT we stolen a while back and I'm trying to replace via
ebay

I could be a MLX or MX. Please see the attached.

I would say MLX myself as he mentioned it was laquer'd inside and out, but MLX's were only 6ply maple not 8ply...

If you could supply some pics of the remaining drums Philjian that would help a lot...

Lol :D

I don't know a lot about the pre-85 MLX's tho - might they be 8ply? I know there were GLX's and stuff around that time too aswell.... I only really know about the stuff from 85 onwards - when the MLX's/BLX's and CZX's had the long single piece hi-tension lugs introduced...
