Nice. It's too bad these never caught on, they were really onto something with this design.... especially on the bigger drums..

It`s a wild looking variation of the PEARL Bulgee snare - first introduced in 1969. I saw one copied with a Whitehall badge. I saw two chrome/steel PEARL Bulgees on Ebay over th elast 6 months- pretty rare I think. I think it was the pre-cursor to the free-floating snare concept. Cool1

I'm not familiar with Pearl's version. I will have to do some reading up on this. I'm not that well read on the MIJ's. No other reason than laziness. I love the wraps and have been a Yamaha fan for far too many years. I've only owned one Pearl kit that I've liked (that I can recall). It was the MHX series and was far and away one of the best.

Bulgee snare? Are you yanking my chain, Osakabob? That is just too strange. Peavey was the only one I've ever seen like this. The Radial Pro 1000 series is an unbelievable build. I liked the 700 series a lot ... and even the 500 series to some extent. They were some of the most original design concepts I've ever come across. I'm shocked that Pearl was doing something like this so many years ago. Please post a pic or two if you have one. I would love to see the geneses of this drum design. As always, I appreciate your wealth of MIJ brain juice.
