Some shots of my Pearl Masters Studio BRX

[dirtysticks]

A few months back I acquired a Pearl Masters Studio BRX kit in amazingly pristine condition from a pawn shop for $299 for a 10", 14" 22" setup. I never got around to posting pics of my setup with it, so here goes!

Specs:
10x7 rack
14x12 floating floor tom
22x18 virgin kick
6x14 Remo Acousticon snare with single flanged hoops and clips
21" Paiste Twenty series Prototype ride
17" Paiste Signature full crash
15" Paiste Alpha Rock hats

Awesome deal you got!!

[imperialstar15]

sweet deal, the bass looks like a monster, even though its just a 22x18, probably because of that 10 in rack tom

[RC1947]

Very nice! Looks new. RC

That natural finish is really beautiful. It has a real feeling of depth.

I've never been a fan of that pearl tom hardware mounting. After buying a yamaha with the ball mount system those are annoying. I have a pearl snare drum with that style mount that I still use on my rack.

Kit looks nice though. I love a simple setup. So easy to play on

I know right! Thanks!

It sounds amazing! So much thump and tone! You can feel it in your chest with an Evans G-Mad!

It does look new! I was so surprised at how pristine it was when I found it.

Natural finished drums always look superb in any setting! The lacquer on it has such a deep look to it!

The hardware work perfectly fine for me with the optimounts, especially with this small setup. I've never had a problem getting them where I wanted them, but I never did really care for the I.S.S mounts that used to be on my Prestige Session Select kit. I've since changed the racks to optimounts and the floor toms were given legs.

This setup is soooo easy to play on!

I agree with you dirtysticks the optimount is a great system and never had any issues positioning my toms. Can't figure why people hate them so much if they were so bad then why is Pearl still putting them on their high end kits. They are the best IMO

[not him]

Looks like Drummers finish lol

[dabdrums]

What a deal. that set looks great. I like the wood finish on sets. I don't know but after buying my first set of drums it seem I caught the bug to get more gear. So now I own 2 sets of drums and 3 snares and still want more.

Looking good man!

[kickinit]

Man... you are like the King of finding good deals!!

Beautiful kit!

[weezy]

Looks good. I used to set my old Mapex M kit up as a 22,10,14. I was using it a 4 piece and preferred that configuration to a 22,12,14.

[imnotverygood9]

That is one damn good deal, especially for a pearl masters. Those are some good looking drums man.

Exactly, I love the optimounts, but to each their own.

Thanks... G.A.S. is a very hard disease to get rid of, and it never seems to fully go away! LOL

Looking good man!

Thanks Marko!

Beautiful kit!

I have had extremely good luck recently when it comes to gear! I'll ride this hot streak until it fizzles out! lol

Thanks, I absolutely love th 22", 10" 14" setup. To me, it gives the perfect balance.

Yeah, these were an amazing deal. Usually the 10" rack tom goes for more than $299.

[DrummerD]

Wow, great deal on the kit dirtysticks! I really like the finish. How do like the Masters compared to your Prestige Session Select kit?

[CB700]

Cool set.

Nice!

Cool set.

Nice!

Thanks guys!

Wow, great deal on the kit dirtysticks! I really like the finish. How do like the Masters compared to your Prestige Session Select kit?

It is a brighter kit with a quicker decay and more punch. It's also a louder kit with a nice rich tone. The Prestige Session Select is darker and more thunderous. I can tune the PSSS kit a good bit lower. I keep that kit tuned lower for a nice contrast to the Masters Studio kit which has my ideal drum sound.
