Black sparkle pearl.

Cool, thank you. I take it the purple color is a result of fading?

The purple color is before fading. The flakes fade to gold and silver when faded.

I recently sold this great set of Slingies. The lavender flecks were strong in color, and tended to give a purplish hint to the jet black wrap. I have never had remorse over letting go of drums that I have really liked. I have some regret about not keeping this one, but not really remorse because a member of another drum forum where I participate bought it, and loves it. He may come here, too.

Trippy. It's kind of like the black sparkle New Classic kits if you've seen; there's a purple hue to them. But, these Slings are of course way cooler! Picked up a 12/14/20 set and they sing; incredible in the upper register. I'll need to move them but they're great tubs.
