Dave,

Welcome to the forum!

I love these drums!

The FW5 drum sizes are 14x22, 16x16, 9x13, and 8x12, whereas the FW624 sizes are 14x24, 16x16, 10x14, 9x13 PLUS a 16x18 floor tom. From the picture, I'd say yours is the FW5.

I think you've come close as to year of manufacture, as it's definitly pre-1978 as that is when Pearl went to the 7/8" tube "Vari-set" system for tom mounting. This one obviously has what Pearl used in the early-to-mid 70s.

I also see some other toms in the picture... are they Pearl WFG as well?

Bill

Hey, thanks for the reply. No, the other toms are just some ugly little concert toms that came with the set, the lugs look like the picture below:

they're 5-6 ply spray painted inside with some kind of multi colored grey black speckled paint. no bottom rim.

I'm not sure how to measure a drum, sorry. Is it width X height at the rim or do you include the rim in the measurement?

9x13, 8x12 actually looks about right

I'm not a "CB700" expert, but I think they used lugs similar to that at some point in the 70s.

Yes, the "size" of drums is just the shell size. And Pearl of that era on their WFG drums actually made their "16x16" floor tom 15x16. They still called it a 16x16 though... which can be and is confusing.

If you're going to sell, for what it's worth I just sold two similar 70s Pearl WFG kits in December with the same "FW5" configuration on eBay. One was a rewrap and it sold for around $400, the other was original wrap in pretty good shape and it brought $480.

Good luck!
