hi pinoydrummers!
i am currently eyeing for my Pearl project drum set... i just fell in love with pearl even way back 1996... and lately i visited JB music. i wish to get one of the vision series set but compared to the price of the forum set, obviously, the vision looks more gorgeous than the forum.
is it really worth picking the vision over the other? will it really matter if its a 6 ply, 4 ply, whatever ply? 100%, 70% whatever % there is? i know it justifies the price difference of the percentages and plys ek ek but can we/you really specify when listening a song na "aaah, naka 6 ply yan" or "aaah 100% maple ang gamit nyan".
does the model really matter?
i saw on the earlier posts of this thread that the export was highly recommended over the forum but that was way back 2006. i saw an earlier post naman, mga last quarter of 2007 that the forum series is a decent series with ISS na (which i saw personally sa JB) compared to the old forum model (good for us consumers).
im a bit confused coz budget wouldnt really matter if i get the vision. im just wondering coz i could spare the additional cost of buying the forum versus the vision to purchase some good cast cymbals diba? or hardware etc.
i plan to get the good enough decent set and then practice like hell, tune it very well, take good care of it and learn/play like theres no tomorrow and be a good drummer...
pls enlighten me here, masters. =D
