The regular Pearl Elite in brass, I loved the cascara...is solid with no, I mean no overtones...is dry and solid..very old school sound like a set of Slingerlands I used to have when I was a kid..They look great too. The sound projection is good for brass timbales...I let you on a secret...that I am getting myself a set of them...Beware..if you are used to those new timbales out there with the "thinner shells" and overtones you are not going to like the regular Elites...
Pearl is planning a set of MQs in brass...dont' know if they will sound the same or if Pearl will face out the "regular" Elites for the MQs in brass if they ever come out... (For those who do not know...Pearl has made the MQ stand and cowbell holder standard with the regular Elites in brass...Also, for those who do not like the 14/15 set up, with regular Elites you could get the 13/14 that you could not get with the MQs).
Cons??? Some people have complaint about the cascara area of the MQs been too far back in comparison to the competion...(MQs have 5 lugs versus 6 lugs)... The regular Elites, what I mentioned before about the lack of overtones in the cascara...Some people like the stand but some don't since it could be too hard to move around to change heights...
