yes that does look very similar. Here are some pics showing the inside of the 13". I'm no good at wood identity, maybe someone else here is?

From these pictures posted, it looks like Birch to me...
Jeff C, what do you think?

I agree with Bill, birch. I have some 80s Pearl DX Proffesional series drums that have birch shells, really nice. Here is a pic, cant sell them though.
Thank you!

Thanks guys. It's settled then.
JC, your kit looks nice. I can't sell mine either but maybe for different reasons. I can't bare to sell mine - too much good history

Yes, these do look good! As many of you know, I have LONG been a BIG fan of the 70s Pearl, but the more I'm exposed to their early 80s maple (or birch) natural and laquer finishes, the more I'm becoming a BIG fan of them, too!
Just wish they would all become more "sought after" and start bringing better money!
(I'm really NOT a bottom line profit guy, it just seems that way at times!)
Fayray -- Yes, keep those drums. IMO, you'll NEVER regret it. I've had opportunities to sell my 78s, but just couldn't do it -- and have no regrets!
Jeff C -- didn't realize you had a set of these until now... You're about as bad off as me, huh?
