  • Prestige Session Select - love it! what a floor tom!!

    Not particularly vintage, I know, but got hold of a Prestige Session Select recently. Hadn't really come across them before, so did a bit of reading and they seemed to be getting a lot of love in the few places they were mentioned. Got an excellent deal on a set in good condition, 12/14/20 and a smaller tom (10?) that's clearly never been used (a tradition that I will proudly continue). Gotta say - am loving this kit, the toms are really lovely! Got it as a 'stop gap' after my previous kit got stolen (aaargh!) but think I'm definitely going to keep hold of it, even if I get something else as well...
    Any other PSS enthusiasts hanging around?

              Session Series drums are generally nice, although they did vary wildly throughout the years. They are part of the proud lineage of DLX/DX and WLX/WX ("World Series") drums. I love mine (mid-nineties wrapped "mahogany" version) to death: it takes a beating like a champ and sounds well beyond its price class.
