Hi guys!
I am writing to check with you on the history of my Pearl vintage drum kit. I would also appreciate if you could advise me if they are still values as vintage drums. These drums have served me from the time I learned to play drums. They have been great companion to me, and I was wanted to bring them to new life. So if I would remove the plastic finish and stain and oil the wood instead, would they lose any value if they have any at least? Maybe anyone knows what wood are they made from?
Brief background on them. When I was around 13 years old (13 years ago) my father bought them for me second hand for £100 from some rastaman (or at least that’s how he looked to me when I was a kid
). They also came with plastic hard cases and they had all original parts. As I used them and time went past, some of the hardware parts have broken, like the tom holders or bass drum legs. Another imteresting fact is that they came without the bottom rims, but they have all lugs as you can see. Planning to buy some new rims for the top and use the old top ones for the bottom. They all come with built in mufflers
Specs are: bass drum 24, floor tom 18, 2nd floor tom 16, low tom 14, hi tom 13. Very strange sizes. And the snare drum is size 14. Snare drum is all steel and it is a deep one. Badges say “Pearl Japan”.
Sending some pictures for reference. The snare drum sound amazing, so I use it extensively, couldn’t take pictures of it, as it is in rehearsal studio. Will send some later. On Monday I will set them all up, so I can sent a picture of the kit in full.
Thank you in advance.
