Re: Opinion on Pearl Drums?.
Couldn't stand Pearl back when I started playing drums in '92. Didn't care one bit for their tomholders, the name itself and just the overall look and feel of them. I was a die-hard Tama (and slightly Yamaha/Premier) fanboy... However, as time went on, and I got to know more about their products (and especially their hardware), bought some stuff from their catalog (Eliminators, Brass Sensitone etc), they started to really grow on me. Got a very nice Masters BCX kit 5 years ago that I still have and love, so I definately have no trouble with them today, and I really like the new stuff they put out in the semi pro price-range recently (Session series, Masters Complete etc), just a very good product for the money. The Optimount system works very well, and I like the tomholders now as long as they are mounted on a rack or stands with short holders, not those crazy long tubes out of the bassdrum. Mainly because of the look though, and I realise I'm pretty vain in that regard. They are very stable and close to bulletproof.
