Actually, they are good drums, if you get the right wood combo. What is the shell layup?

[bishopsfinger]

hi jonni! they look like birch to me,the only thing i dont like are the power sizes,but i do like the price of 200gbp!

I think World series are seperate lugs-you could cut them down and recut the bearing edges as needed.You should do some further investigating ,maybe on this site-I don't think they are pro-level drums.

They are birch/mahogany and are good drums especially the lacquer finish models.
I've found them to be well built and easy to tune.

thanks all! i think ill have em! unless i find a premier at the right money,to be honest with you if i went onstage with a 20 quid drum kit it wouldnt make much difference!

You shouldn't have to do anything to the World series drum edges. They were cut very well back in the day. They were a pretty good drum. Not the best, but they would make a cool gigging kit. They usually came in the deeper sizes. That extra depth really made an impact on the deep punch of those toms. Good luck!
