Here we have the flagship drum kit from the Pearl Masters range back when it was made in Taiwan. The MMX was Pearl's premium maple 4 ply shell (the same shell offered as a part of Masterworks made in the same facility) The set offers top flight specifications such as the OptiMount suspension systems, DieCast hoops, SP30 Bass Drum Spurs, Fade Lacquer finish with matching wood bass drum hoops and Black Lacquer fittings.
The MMX is the highest specification Masters that Pearl ever offered (it was briefly offered as the MRP, before being dis-continued) this is a seriously feature packed kit. This one comes in a great array of sizes featuring alternate depth toms and extra deep bass drum, there is also a full top of the range matching Black hardware pack which includes the Eliminator Hi-Hat Stand, Snare Stand and an array of cymbal and tom stands as shown in the pictures.
The condition of the kit is really good, this would be one of the very last MMX sets circa 2007. The bass drum has the usual bass drum pedal rash and a there are a few very small nicks on the black fittings which is typical on plated hardware.
