Pearl Roadster Throne

When my mum asked me what do I want for my birthday, I said I want cash. Then she said, "to buy drum things???". I said " Yes!!!". Hehehee.. So after I finished my exams, she banked in the money and on Sunday I went to Bentley alone. The drums floor was very busy. There were people buying snare, cymbals and such and Hariz was busy entertaining them. I was looking for specific items that I want to buy such as 52mm tension rods but they dont have it. They only have the 47mm tension rods. After all the customers had gone, I asked Hariz whether they have new stock for throne that I wanted to buy because the display model seemed like have been sat by so many asses. Lucky me as they only have one left. Yay for that! I also ordered 3 things; SP-30 bass drum spurs, BBC-1 bass drum plate and GK-90 tom masking plate. Too bad for me because next shipment is already on the sea and the ship should arrive this month with the new Pearl Vision! So.. all the things that I ordered will come in 3 months time. Nevermind, I can wait.

The Pearl D-1000C throne that I bought is one of the three drum throne from 1000 hardware series. Mine is 1000C which C stands for "Cloth" because it is covered with cloth/velvet on top which give more grip to our bottom and it give more classy look to the throne. But the downside is, the surface could get dusty easier. Here's the pictures...Owh.. I also bought two packs of 47mm normal Pearl tension rods.

I also have removed the BB3 bracket (since I already ordered the BBC-1 plate) just to see how the drum looks without it. And I think, it really looks better. (But of course if you see it from faraway) Hehehehe... So this is the updated picture of the Blackpearlz!
