Previous kit :

Pearl Export (the chrome one) circa 90-91. I had the set from late 91-97. It wasn't a bad kit, but it wasn't anything to write home about. Remo Pinstripes on top and I think Ambassadors on the bottoms of the toms (12", 13", 16").  I eventually put the ISS (Integrated Shell Suspension) system on the toms.
The Bass (22")had a Pinstripe Batter and a Stock Front.
The snare had an Evans Heavy Duty Dry Batter and Evans Dry Bottom.
The Cymbals on this kit were Meinls: 17"and 18"Velvet crashes, 20" Ride, and 14" hats. It also had 10 and 8" AA Sabian Splashes.
Hardware: Pearl Rack (old black version), DW 5000 double bass pedals, DW remote hi-hat, generic cowbell
