Hi! I have a vintage Pearl Wood Fiberglass drumset. I'm in love with it! It both looks and sounds completely awesome! I have some questions about the drumset, and I hope you Pearl-gurus can tell me about the Wood Fiberglass series.
As far as I understand, the toms are Pearl concert drums? What kind of wood are the toms made of? Do I have a complete set? What is the name of the finish? What year are the toms from? What kind of wood is the kick-drum and floor-tom made of? (Kick-drum and floor-tom are the only drums labeled "Pearl Wood Fiberglass".) What year are the drums from? What finish do the drums have? What kind of snare did the kit originally have? I see that the kick-drum legs are unoriginal. Does anyone have a picture of the original ones? Maybe I can find them on Ebay? I'm also interested in buying a kick drum that is similar to the one I already have, so contact me if you are selling one! =) What would be a fair price for the whole kit? (Pearl concert toms, floor-tom and kick-drum). |

I'm going to say 1980 era(not exact) Red Flash wrap. Looks like the set probably had a 8+10" concert tom too. Those look like the correct spurs. Why would you move them 1" ?Wood/Fiberglass drums are Luan Mahogany under the 'glass.

So what you have is Wood/fibreglass BD & FT... The concert toms are "Dyna Family" phenolic (fibreglass shells) hard to find drums & desired by most who have owned or played them...
They were available in several configeration's during the mid 70's -80's. I think this would be your kit from the '74 catalogue.. Cheers John http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/imag...-catalog-9.jpg

Thank you so much for the info! Why somebody decided to move the spurs 1" is hard to say. The holes don't seem to line up though, so I don't think these are the right spurs.

I'm trying to sell my father's old kit which is very much like this, but requires a fair bit of restoration work. How much is something like this worth? And where is the ideal place to sell it?
Thank you very much for your help. |

Yep, you are correct, (one or the other) My oversight.. but I did slip in "Phenolic " Dyna family toms
![]() The BD & FT are Wood/Fibreglass lined.. Note I was working for Pearl in the 70's whilst these kits were all the rage, the phenolic shells are outstanding sound wise.. whilst IMO the wood/fibreglass were heavy & tone dead. Cheers John |
