DW Pacific C Series Drums Reviews  4 / 5 based on 1 reviewsI bought this seven piece set at Guitar Center in Atlanta for $659.00, drums only no hardware, no cymbals. This is the 2000 year model.
This kit looks terrific and sounds super, however I have changed the stock heads to Evans heads
only because I prefer a nice heavy thud from them. I also prefer the rack tom sizes of 12" and 13" to the "fast size" toms of other models like the L and LX series...too small.
The wrapped finish (Silver Mist) is buckling at the seams and around a few of the lugs. The aluminum snare rings a bit.
Pacific too has incorporated a rack tom tom mounting system that makes changing heads more of a challenge than I believe it should
be. All in an effort to get a better sound of the rack toms but still troublesome when heads need to be
changed in a hurry. Their mounting system on the 2001 LX series uses that which is used
on the Drum Workshop brand of percussion and that eliminates some time in changing heads.
I really don't know too much about construction of drums but they are heavily made
and appear to take what I can give them...as for quality, wrapped finish aside, I believe DW has
put plenty of research into making this product suitable for intermediate players like myself.
For the price and durability of the C Series Pacific drum set, I feel comfortable in my choice
after weighing comparable brands and models. Charlie rated this unit on 2001-11-15.
