First Post -Pearl Reference Pure (Matte Walnut) - Pearl Brass Free Floating Snare

Love the finish.
Congrats!

What's the shell layup?

That is a very pretty kit.

Now these are great drums. Had I seen these, I would have been tempted to stay Pearl, and not switch to DW. Really sharp set.

Thanks heaps guys! :) Shell specs are shown here if you're interested :)

What clamp do you have coming out of your far right rack bar? And what do you have it attached to? Is that an AX-25L or the Gibraltar clamp? ?

I cut a small piece of cymbal stand tube to about 10cm long and put in into the rack leg which allowed me to mount things to it. Right now there's an old AX25 in there with a modded short boom arm. The AX25 just gives me a little more length as mounting this crash in the rack leg was too close to my china.

Nice finish on those.

I like separate cymbal stands, but the side racks you've got are a
nice compromise for running a lot of cymbals, compared to a full
rack which usually covers up some of the drums from the front view.

Thanks mate! That's exactly the reason I built these racks :) Needed more functionality but didnt want to hide the kit! Plus, when gigging, I set these racks up off stage and i can cary them onstage by myself. Set up is very very fast!

3 weeks?

I was told 6 months just to get a replacement copper or stainless steel shell for my FF.

Has Pearl heard the word and changed their shipping policies?

I think it's because he's in Australia, maybe?

I actually scored a little endorsement with Pearl just before ordering this kit and they went above and beyond to look after me :)
 
Absolutely gorgeous kit!
I have a cymbal layout VERY similar to yours. - I will pick your brain on the custom ICON rack setup when it comes time :)
 
That is some serious drum pornography, there. Beautiful kit, and I don't even mind the rack, since it doesn't block the view of all the good stuff.

Thanks mate! Please do pick my brain! Always happy to help! :)

Thanks heaps! I'm going to be building these racks again soon to keep with this kit while these racks in the pictures stay with my gig kit :) Will post photos when that's done!
 
I have posted my kit up several times. It is a Frankenkit that I purchased a piece at a time and then refinished to all match. The 8,10,12,14 are Masterworks, the Kick is a Maple Masters and the 15 tom is a Cherry stave that blends in perfectly. I had a second Maple Pearl but it just did not sound right so I stripped the shell and used the hardware on the cherry shell I built.
