Maple Help and Opinions!

[therocker]

I'm looking at a Pearl Prestige Session Select Maple kit. Any and all info on these drums would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much.

late 90's Session Select shells were Maple (2 ply interior+exterior) and Asian Mahogany (5 ply core) .. they were 7 ply - 7.5mm shells

Session didn't become all Maple until the arrival of the SRX Session Custom

What finish we talking about? .. pics?

I thought it was 2ply maple/3 ply mahogany/2 ply maple?

Ebony Stain. 7 piece including matching snare. Double bass + 2 up - 2 down. Trying to get pic.

Here's a worse pic of a bad pic to begin with. Sorry, but it's what I've got.

7 pc? sweet! .. thanks for pic Rocker ... finish is #122 Black-Mist .. looks like someone replaced the stock ISS mounts with Opti's .. .. that's good

Superhoops, SP-30's and air suspension feet are stock on these shells

what's the asking price?

$900.00

$900.00 seems like a lot if they are late '90's drums plus they are out if state so there would be shipping involved. But they're kinda the kit I'm looking for 22x16x2 10" 12" 16" 18" 14" snare...and black!

Opinions? They're very welcomed and appreciated.

Note that you can't custom order drums for this series anymore (not sure what difference that makes to your decision).
Do you have the info you need from BA above? I probably have the catalogue somewhere.

yeah .. $900 is high for a 90's Session (maple/mahogany) .. but there's that 18" and two 22's .. so there's that .. shipping a kit that size is going to be at least $200 unless it's coming from GC

It better be in clean - cared for condition for that price ... if this is color you want and sizes you want then do what you gotta do

The 18" and 22s are a big selling point. I guess I miss my yellow exports more than I thought I would. If shipped through GC would it be cheaper or free would be even better. I'll continue in a bit...

[therocker]

...I'm assuming the Black Mist finish is like my Burgundy Mist Exports w/ the wood grain showing through. That would be very pretty.

I have ordered used cymbals from GC and there is a shipping charge. But is it generally cheaper than what an individual shipper would pay?

I probably would never custom order more drums anyway so that's not really a concern. Yes Bad A has covered pretty well as much as I could ask. It would be nice to see a better pic if the finish, but there's no real need for you to " dig " for catalogs.

It's funny that before you guys stepped in to help I did as much research as I could and found a bit, but I found one that I thought would have the most info, clicked it and it took me to a PDF thread! . Confirming: the best reason to be the best place for drum info. Thanks a bunch.

the 18 is worth $150-200 on used market ... I bought a kit from GC used for a friend and they charged $40 to ship .. it was a 6 piece

yeah .. woodgrain visible .. it's not solid .. here's a pic as example
