Thanks Mikey. I will take your advice and do that this weekend. I am a little disappointed about the drums. They seemed really nice. I thought that they were of better quality.

There is really nothing "wrong" with MIJ drums, when properly handled and tuned, they can sound more than respectable. Some sound down right great. Looking at the lugs, I would like to see more of the kit. Can you post a few pix of the snare and toms? Also, would you show the tom mount on the bass? What are the sizes of the heads? The lugs look similar to Yamaha, although I hesitate to say they are. Yamaha usually did not use "bland" wraps in this era, rather they where wild and wooly.

I got a lug off. It says Pearl on the inside. The Pearl is not script. It is stamped in a standard font. I took a lot of pictures. My camera is not the greatest. I'll need to make another post to add more pictures.flowerflowerflower

Here are more of the pictures. I hope that they are detailed enough. Thanks. flowerflowerflower

Here is the last picture. The Forum only let me post 5 pictures at a time. Sorry. Thanks again for your help.flowerflower

Lucy123,

You should have no problem getting good sound out of that kit !! That`s not the back of the line MIJ !!

Thanks OddBall, I intend to rock out. Lucy
