All user reviews for the Pearl BLX 5 Shells

For how long have you been using it?

New drumkit received in full in June 1992, except three impacts on the 10 tom and bass drum, everything is original and in excellent condition.

What thing do you like most/least about it?

The manufacture of birch and shells through the drums are a perfect finish and consistency of sound between the elements is very well équilibée.
The Free Floating snare steel one piece delivers a powerful and flattering overtones in the style of skin used.

The only problem is, I think the tuning sensitivity of the medium tom 13 'which sometimes clashes with the consistency of the rest of the instrument.

Accessories-all backgrounds and tumble that saw storms, concerts in the rain falls at dizzying tour vans funds are intact and not corrosive.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

Being young and with little shops even then to try (especially a teen post) their 3 models of exhibition, the proposed model was the only one who seemed worthy to stand a few years ... It's been 17 years since it last and I do not part with any time soon ...

What is your opinion about the value for the price? Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? * ...

For the time, the accessories available, the violin well and look neat chrome and Woods for the award were a godsend.
12,000 francs at the time, or 1980 euros.

However, the current market develops products more efficient and drums Power, long enough are sometimes difficult to position. The shorter barrels seems now a good ergonomic solution for any drummer who seeks both comfort and power.

BLX but this is still great on my productions so I, j'la finished!
