Thanks roger sling. Now, you say it's a silver sparkle.
It looks kinda goldy to me. Is that just
an age thing.
The Sparkling Gold Pearl had a huge amount of orange in it. My guess is that's a ginger-ale'd Silver. Maybe.
Nice save on that one. I'm glad your buddy snagged it for you. I've been looking for drums on the curb or in the trash and haven't scored yet. Anyway great looking snare. I dig the early Pearl stuff and later stuff too for that matter. Great sounding drums!!
I'm a pearl man too. Had one for as long as I can
remember. I'm currently on an early
80's six piece pearl. With a bank of rototoms.
I'll get some pics up when I get to a pc
