Je n'ai pas encore trouvé la bonne combinaison de peaux pour la GC (emperor et reso d'origine : bof), j'essaierai une powerstroke + ambassador en reso




absolument pas cher confrère! la coquille générique est droite sur son côté le plus long, alors que la Pearl qui a donc été copiée en "cheap" présente un léger dièdre sur ce même côté;tama a écrit : Chose amusante on retrouve les coquilles de Century ! .
Il n'empêche que pour la fabrication en Chine en 85', je commence à douter. A part cet article,, il est toujours mentionné que la World Series était délocalisée à Taiwan mais pas chez les Populaires voisins d'en face. Et quand on sait que le magazine dont provient l'article n'était pas réputé pour sa rigueur scientifique ....vilcoyot75 a écrit :en fait je pense que celle que tu as était effectivement fabriquée en Chine (comme dit dans le banc d'essai), alors que la mienne c'est bien écrit Taiwan sur les plaques.
Pearl Drum Forum a écrit : Ok gentlemen just to clear things up. The World series was introduced in 1985 as an upmarket alternative to the Export. It was available in 2 variants the covered World 6500 Series (WX) and the laquered Prestige World 6500 (WLX).
They both had the same shells as the Dlx Which were 7ply Birch ,Mahogany and Super Lamin. The main differences being that they did not come with Super Hoops, had a downgraded snare drum and the Th-80 tom-holders from the export.
It must also be stressed these were taiwanese and NOT the Fantastic Japanese quality of the Dlx. If you put the 2 side by side you CAN see the difference, trust me.
Now, once Pearl had tragically decided to phase out the DLX in '87 sob! the World Series remained but was revamped in '89 and emerged with a new snare, new lugs, again like the exports and with NEW shells.
This New shell was 7 ply Birch and Mahogany, the real stuff mind not any of your bollocks Luan crap like some people seem to imply! These shells were still excellent quality and sounded awesome especially the Bass drum so no surprise there eh?
Eventually in '91 after running side by side with the Slx (Pretige Session Elite)the World Series was renamed the Prestige (Wlx) and Performance(Wx) Session Series. These 2 models shared the exact same shells the differences being the Snare drum, 1 colour option and the SLX had the dodgy 3-piece mock High tension lugs which were eventually inherited by the Export. Then sadly in '92 the Wlx/Wx were discontinued. So there it is! Hope this helps.
