That's right, you're "talking" to the proud new owner of a "new" Pearl Vision VLX 5-Piece Fusion Drum Set. I love it. I'm not sure how old the series is, but it can't be that old. The Vision line is replacing the Export line, but the Exports are just now being replaced. But Pearl has already discontinued the VLX line. So, I've got the last of a dead breed. Apparently the VLX might've been the first line in the Vision series. I read a little write-up and they described it as being an Export with a lot of Reference influence. Reference is another Pearl line of drums, a little higher-end than the Vision. Anyway, none of you but maybe Chris will be interested in all that babbling. But here she is:
