I almost bought the EXR and then the Vision..Then I played a set of pdp's X7's
poplar shells like the EX's. The bearing edges on these (pdp's) are cut so nicely and the build quality A-1!! I bought 'em. check out their web page. Pacific is dw's little brother..believe me it shows! I swapped out the stock heads for an Evans EMAD on the kick drum and EC2's on the toms. They compare favorably to the Visions. They have a real nice high end attack and low end presence..alot like birch! The kick drum is absolutely amazing!
They are right in your price range and it's a 7 pc! I got 'em in orange sparkle lacquer. I have been trying to upload pics unsucessfully Go ahead and compare them to the Gretsch and Pearl Visions. Good luck!
