How old is this drumset?

These are a few pictures of my own Pearl Export kit.

It's definitely not the new version, because I've seen the new ones before and mine looks nothing like it.

So, can you tell me how old mine is, and approximately what year it was made? Thanks.

Looks to me like it could be late 90's if not newer.

I'd say maybe late 80's to late 90's.

I'd probably say mid 90s

Try Pearl Drums web site. They have a Pearl Drummers Forum.

I have the very same kit. I bought mine brand new in 1995, so I would say its early to mid 90's and certainly no older. The first thing I noticed when I saw it in the shop was that it had lugs that spanned the entire length of the drums, other pearl exports I'd seen had the old bullet shaped lug. I took this for being quite a modern design at the time.
