Members lossforgain Posted November 12, 2009 Members Share Posted November 12, 2009 What's your favorite sparkle or glass glitter? If you prefer the aluminum version or the glass version, feel free to post and specify. Personally, I've always been a fan of sparkle finishes over "pearls" or swirly style finishes, and haven't dug a flat color finish since I was about 14. My favorites in order: Green sparkle (classic Ludwig baby!)Red sparkle or glitterGold sparkle or glitterBlue sparkle or glitterChampagne sparkleSilver sparkle (NOT glitter)Burgundy sparkle (aka Gretsch New Classic "Merlot" sparkle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gremson Posted November 12, 2009 Members Share Posted November 12, 2009 Where's the poll? I vote Black Sparkle! We just got some yesterday. Tomorrow I hope it will be a reality on my new fiberglass kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lossforgain Posted November 12, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 12, 2009 That's weird -- it posts my thread before I'm done making the poll? Dumb. Now you can vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lsits Posted November 12, 2009 Members Share Posted November 12, 2009 My fave glitter w9ould be green, but white marine pearl would be my all-time favorite wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted November 12, 2009 Members Share Posted November 12, 2009 Sparkles are ok I guess. I prefer the translucent glass variety. Acrylic sparkle would be pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cdawg Posted November 12, 2009 Members Share Posted November 12, 2009 i voted champagne, just for the classic look of it. not that i'd ever do a kit in it, tho. maybe a snare. i may do a kit in blue sparkle, as a tribute to my first royce kit. ahhh, memories.

Members Chunkaway Posted November 12, 2009 Members Share Posted November 12, 2009 Not even close, gold sparkle. I have two Ludwig gold sparkle kits and they ALWAYS get positive comments from people. I have a green sparkle DW and it gets its share of comments, but nothing like the gold sparkle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members drumtechdad Posted November 12, 2009 Members Share Posted November 12, 2009 If pressed I'd say some kind of black sparkle. If I saw a set of vintage drums and they were champagne sparkle, I'd bite the bullet and buy them. But I wouldn't like it. I'm with Isits: white marine pearl rules. And: there's a very special place in Hell for the dumb {censored} who came up with the idea of sparkle fades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lossforgain Posted November 12, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 12, 2009 So turd, did you vote green or "other?" You guys are being quite specific...I bet ckcondon voted "other" too even though he meant red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
