Hey, please let me know if you still have the blue sparkle pearl president drums.
Please post more pics of the inside of the shells. I would like to know if they are wood shelled or a fiberglass/plastic like material (an unnatural dark brown).
Thanks.
Here are some more pictures. My theory is that its a 68 set with some 67 left over parts. The wrap seems to be #7 Tigers eye from 68, the set also looks just like the #45 Challenger from that same year except for the badge and lug [Attachment: 29882][Attachment: 29883][Attachment: 29885][Attachment: 29886][Attachment: 29887] (I found all this info at the Vintage drum guide sight). From people posts the diamond lugs may be 67ish left over stock?? The tom mount is seen on the #45 Challenger set and I have not seen that kind of mount on newer models. Now the badge I have not found except in this forum talk. It is what you say is a 69-73ish style. Thanks for the help
I have those, but with the red P badge..., I love them.
Hi there, here are some pics of my Presidents ( drums only) that I bought from a music store for 180.00. It has red oyster wrap that is not too common from what I have learned on this forum. Blue sparkle might be the most common finish of all. Drums are hard to sell right now thanks to our economy so I doubt you will get 400 for a shell pack. If it was me, I would get the bass drum that you have a lead on and play them. If you dont play then, sell them. Good luck to you!

As I always tell you- Presidents are collectors items- keep them intact and eventually a real Pearl historian/collector will scoop them up from you. That kit would sell for a minimum of 800$ here in Japan- very nice kitD' Drummer

Which kit are you referring to? The blue sparkle? I am not a “real Pearl historian/collector” My opinion is based on my personal purchase.
They're all nice but I was referring to your red oyster one- that one is in superb condition.
Oh, Okay thank you. I love the drums, play them every day. I think I was very lucky to get them for the 180.00. If I could get 800 here in the USA I would have to think about it.
By the way I love your qoute
It's the journey not the destination.

The shell in pic (inner) is made of phenolic resin. Different from FG.
Phenolic is that deep red color. FG is more of a speckled flesh tone.
I like the look of phenolic.

Thanks for clearing that up. Looks like my kit is the phenolic.
