22" bass
16" floor
13 and 12" tom
14" snare

14" evolution HHX sabian hats
18" medium thin crash and 22" rock ride AA sabian


Playing this kit puts a tear in my eye and wood in my pants. It's almost enough to make me want to start up a new project.

Almost.

Hey, what's the file size limit for pic posts on this forum?

Anyway, this is the old kit after it was already put to the side. The snare was bought just a month prior to my new kit, it's a Dixon piccolo, and I'm not using it. It's on the floor beside me with a new skin still in the box on top...

I will look for better pics of the old kit and get them up here.

Here was my very first drumset from the early 80's, a Rogers pre-CBS kit.

So here's a pic of the old Pearl kit from about 1994, during a move. Bottom hoops long gone, part of the bass drum, by the larger tom's post, pitbull-chewed.

Here I am recording the "Arthur Ellis" 4 song demo tape in '94, three songs from it can be heard BY CLICKING HERE. That is Sherman in the background. He left the project because he said it was like jamming with Aerosmith, whatever that meant.

1985: This is the headline a week prior to the first show I ever organized. Seven bands, I drummed in three, plus so much more!

I will try to get pics of the kit as it is today, if at all possible. It may be in storage, because I pretty much harped to get it out my house so I could fully enjoy MY BRAND NEW BEAUTIFUL PEARL SESSION CUSTOM KIT.

Have fun.

Here you can see where my vicious pitbull terrier tore a chunk out of the bass drum.

But enough of my nipple, let's get back to the kit!

This pedal merged into my life at the Austin Hotel in Vancouver when it was still the Flash One strip club and I lived upstairs...

*sigh*

And absolutely the most fabulous picture ever taken of yours truly, going down in history as the last pic of me with that old Pearl Export that I lugged around for two decades.

This brings about such closure, it's not even funny...

And that is it folks.

Along with all the projects I put it through, this kit was also used as the main rehearsal kit for 5 years at the studio I hung at in the 90's. It had at least two bands a day play it, sometimes as many as five.

Damn, I think I'm going to cry...
