Hey Everyone,
OK, I've recently been officially endorsed with Pearl Drums. My Pearl Rep and I were going over a couple options for a drumkit that I wanted to order. Originally, I was deciding between a Masters MMX/MRX or a BRX kit. They are beautiful kits and that is the most I could afford, even at an Endorsee discount which is cheap.
Then things got WAY better.....
I got a call from my Rep on Friday and he told me that Pearl got in a rare order on 2 Reference Series Kits !!!!!! Reference are the best drums that Pearl makes along with the Masterworks and the waiting list is from 6 months to a year on these Drumkits. He's giving me an amazing deal on either of these kits and the even better news is that I'll have the kit at my house by the end of October or so !!!!! Thats right, no 6 month to a year long wait for the kit ! I'm going to do it ! The drum sizes I'm going for are as follows, all Reference Series Drums....
14" x 6.5" Snare
12" x 9" Tom
16" x 16" Floor Tom
22" x 20" Kick Drum
You can't order any special hardware for this kit (Black Chrome, Satin or Gold). Reference kits just come with Chrome....My Rep said cuz I'm endorsed with Pearl that he will special order, from Japan, Black Chrome or Gold Reference Series Lugs and Rims !!!!! He said that would take a few months but it's well worth the wait. It will look sick !!!! I'm also getting all Black Hardware and Stands !
All these things are decided on now....the only thing I'm hung up on is the color of the Drums, Lugs and Rims . The two colors I have to choose from for Drum Shell colors are Rootbeer Fade #142 and Twilight Fade #143. I also have to decide on Gold or Black Chrome Lugs and Rims. Heres a link for you guys to suggest what color you think would look best...

You can vote for what color you think would look best. It would be either color with Black or Gold Lugs and Rims on the drums.
I'm personally thinking of going for the Rootbeer Fade with Black Lugs and Rims, cuz it will look classy yet Bad Ass ! Otherwise the Twilight Fade could look very cool with Gold Lugs and Rims or perhaps Black Lugs and Rims for a crazy dark look ..... Decisions...
Let me know what you guys think....this is a big decision for me and I'm curious to see what you all think. Thanks !
