Just scan thru this thread =X i think im in loveMy 1982 ( 7pcs ) Pearl MLX Kit (belonging to Mr Tony Zee)
Gosh I love this kit the most. This was Tony's Personal Kit till I bought it from him last year in 2006. The MLX is something like the Pearl Master Custom - MRX, a 6 PLY all Maple Kit. The only difference is this very kit is very special. The shells are all varnish Black inside and outside similarly(you see no wood colour inside - @ from the Transparent BatterHead if you observe properly). It's something like Jeff Pocaro's Kit Set-Up. I started to changed all the hardwares recently to Pearl highest end hardwares - the 2000 series, bought Eliminator hats stands, Cymbal stands, double pedals, snare stands etc and of course the wicked Pearl Reference Series snare. All batters & Reso also changed to using REMO (cause that's Tony's Preference) and the kit is setup & tuned by him during this Chinese New Year and Cymbals are all Paiste Signatures & New Signatures. The only thing left undone is - My order from Swee Lee of the Throne with BackRest is not in yet - This kit burns a big-hole in my pocket...but it's worth it - I love this kit and it's my most favourite kit
Note: - Here I really have to give credit to a very good friend of mine (like Brothers) - "Augustine" - he is the one that had help me do up both The Bass Drum Logo "EW" for the Yamaha 5 Series & the "TZ" for the Pearl MLX. - It was a superb job very well done and he is very innovative (he can do/modified the drums) besides himself being a very good drummer.
