Members Zeromus-X Posted November 14, 2007 Members Share Posted November 14, 2007 I can't be alone, can I? There's a DW kit at Guitar Center here in a blue glass sparkle with satin chrome hardware that I drool over every time I walk in. My last drums were purple fade Pearl Exports. Here's a quick photoshop of the DW one, since there wasn't one on the DW site but there was one with the correct finish and one with the correct hardware: My girlfriend uses these events to make fun of me non-stop. Am I the only one that likes glittery, bright-colored kits?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it bad for the Sparkle sets:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I still had 'em:cry: Carmine...a Friend of mine in Co has the same set.....same vintage....they just sit in his studio.... he is a Bass player(Producer,studio owner)...I have played them on sessions...I want them so bad but he won't sell...they are mint...I went with him(early 80's) to Santa Barbara,ca(I lived in Hollywood,ca at the time) with him when he bought them($300,5 piece set)....I had Gold Sparkle envy big time even then.

Members Carminemw Posted November 15, 2007 Members Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hey Mick, you up for a raid? How good a friend was he anyway?? Check it out...I still have my '64 Supraphonic that they sold me with that kit, sitting in my basement. Chrome is in bad shape. I was gonna get it redon e for my granddaughter but that's kinda falling through... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mickey66 Posted November 15, 2007 Members Share Posted November 15, 2007 This past summer he called me wanting my advise on what new set to buy for his studio....so.....for a second I thought he would give in and sell them to me....wrong! He knows what he has and he will never sell them...DAM! Carmine...if you don't mind the question....Why did you sell them? I know you knew what you had....they didn't make that many in the gold finish...they made a bunch in the red finish and I really like those as well but the Gold sets are rare. I remember when they first started showing up in music stores in the Phoenix area....a long time ago my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mickey66 Posted November 15, 2007 Members Share Posted November 15, 2007 Zeromus-X...what are they asking for that set at GC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mickey66 Posted November 15, 2007 Members Share Posted November 15, 2007 One cool thing about Sparkle sets is over the years they fade into another shade of whatever....to avoid this keep them in a dark place and don't let them see the world outside.

Members Zeromus-X Posted November 15, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 15, 2007 Zeromus-X...what are they asking for that set at GC? $3800 if I remember right, and I don't think that includes a snare. Off the top of my head I believe it's three racks and a floor, and the kick drum. Or it's two racks, a floor, and a deep as {censored} snare. They're stacked up, not set up to play, so I couldn't tell you for sure. I can find out tomorrow if you're interested though, can probably take some pictures too.

Members Mickey66 Posted November 15, 2007 Members Share Posted November 15, 2007 If you walked in with 3k cash in hand I bet they would take it. I have a drummer friend here in Phx....he went to GC and bought a DW set priced over 5K....he offered 5k and they took it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zarazabas Posted November 15, 2007 Members Share Posted November 15, 2007 I hate sparkle sets. You're all a bunch of girls with matching lip gloss. A real man's set is finished with blood and sweat (and BBQ rib juice) :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
