Pacific LX Review

History:

Purchase: I bought these from Guitar Center Feb 2004 Paid $799.00 for 5 piece LX ( shell kit} The color is Ultra Violet

Pros: The color and finish is absolutly awsome! The sound edges are perfect no holes or pockets. The mounting system (ball socket} is great, they stay put or atleast have so far. The shells are ROUND to the thousandth. They have a pretty wide tuning range for thin shells, with G2's.



Cons: I had some lug and rod problems, the t nuts started to strip in two of the snare lugs and one rod broke off in the T nut on a tom( with low tention). But a call to the factory with only one minute on hold and they hooked me up(super cust support!) Use grease and ck for burrs! I dont like the hoops i had some problems tuning and i knew the shells should sond better. I bought aftermarket super hoops and O'Boy what a differance,They tuned themselves,and man what a sound!!!

LX Quality: The construction and quality is great, as I mentioned before sound edges and roundness is perfect. There is litterly no ring or vibration(Just Sound). The shells are matched in pitch very well! Great projection! Great Bass thud. The fine thread T rods are nice for fine tuning but run a die on them and USE GREASE! The hardware is very adjustable and easy to position.

Pacific Summary: With very little tweeking (Heads and Hoops) You get a proffesional sound. For the money paid i dont think any other set comes close. I have played and scrutinized many sets. Hope my dribble helps!
