[COLOR="Red"]Completely agree and hear you[/COLOR] FayRay. The quality of the upper end 80s/90s Pearl drums is wonderful. One of my main performing snare drums right now is an 80s Pearl MapleFiberglass 6.5x14" - it`s one of the best drums I have ever played. Those pipes, in conjunction with the dreaded "cannon" toms- put those two togther and %$& I freaking hate that. "I just say no" to cannon toms of any maker. I like my rack toms positioned as flat as the great plains. The 1980 Pearl catalog has those wild roto-tom/ wood tom combination hybrid drumsets- I am looking for one of those actuallySumo Dude
