2005 Pearl Forum kit vs 2010 Pearl Forum?

[shinkaiyui]

im new to drumming and i was wonder if a 2005 pearl forum has any difference with the current production forums. im planning on buying a used set which is about 5 years old. hope to get advice please!

The new pearl forum has the I.s.s mount system , which means that they no longer drill a hole into the shells to mount the toms to let the shell resonate, other than that, hardware shld be the same

I noticed the "Pearl forum" logo plate on the drum shell has a difference in shape.
One is totally in oval shape. Another with straight lines.
