MGR/Mike Strand « Pacific Pacific LX Drums »
Published on 05/24/03 at 15:00I bought it at Guitar Center on 5/23/03. It was a deal for just the shell pack(crimson red color) of 10"/12"/14"/22"/and 14" snare for $850, yes only $850... yamaha stage customs and tama rockstar customs are $900 with hardware, i think this deal is unbelieveable.
With a high-gloss/lacquer finish and all maple shells, there is no explanation on how the price could be so low. I read the other review that gave this product a 1 out of 5... he must have bought it when they were a lot higher priced and a lot less quality because it is nothing compared to what the LX's have become now. The drums sound great all around, there is rubber things between all the lugs and the drum itself-insuring lasting quality. The tom mounts(extra support system thing) are great and a very good asset. The color (crimson red) is amazing. It is a lot lighter than what is shown on Pacific's website and the see-through finish looks great since you can see the texture of the wood.
of course it is a given that all drums come with crappy head on them. So i bought some Evans G2 coated heads and it brings out the best of the drums. I would also suggest Aquarian Studio-X heads too, on all the drums. I cant think of anything i dont liike about this set...
Very nice construction wise, i would give it a 9 out of 10 for overall. Pacific does a great job on all the little things about each drum.
If you want a professional looking and sounding drumset for a cheap price, I would definately go with the Pacific LX's. The 2003 models just kep getting better. I saw the hardware, which was optional in my case, and it is not really worth the extra $200 or so. Buy your own hardware. This set is the shit
