Tough Choice: Red Silk Onyx OR Fiesta Pearl

[katulu]

I'm not about to buy a kit anytime soon... but next year? So... here's 2 "exclusive" Gretsch colors - which would you pick? It's unnerving to even think about choosing!

Red Silk Onyx:

Fiesta Pearl:

Red silk for me too. Very classy

 

[Topsy Turvy]

Red silk is my choice.

I think the Red Silk is much more rich and classy looking. The Fiesta Pearl reminds me of vanilla ice cream with sprinkles.

Can’t believe you’re even comparing the two. That red silk onyx is seriously yummy! Good luck with your decision. What an amazing problem to have.

You need another option...

"Both"

Red Silk!! Amazing

Red silk to score

Red Silk looks like nicely marbled steak. Therefore, more scrumptious. If drums look yummy they sound better.

Red please. Fiesta looks like a 50’s Formica countertop

Yes, Red Silk is everything all the above comments have said! For me, I want Fiesta Pearl! Here's my USA Custom 14x4.5 in Fiesta Pearl. The pictures of the complete drum are the first one, where Gretsch forgot to include the muffler and key holder. They got it right the second time, but I forgot to take pictures of the complete drum!

If I had the $$$, I'd order a 20x14, 12x8 and 15x13 to go with it!

Enjoy your new Gretsch set in whatever wrap you decide!

Finally, I wasn't aware that Fiesta Pearl was offered directly, but only through Maxwell Drums.

Pile on…Red Silk Onyx. Kind of a cross between Red Pearl and Red Onyx on Rogers. Fiesta Pearl is nice, but I think it looks better on black like the Mardi Gras.
In the end it’s you that has to ‘live’ with it, so best wishes on your decision. Enjoy!

agreed! Between these two, the red no question for me. Now, Mardi Gras - whole different story!

Yer all nuts - Fiesta Pearl!

As the owner of 4 red kits, well, I'm a go with the red...

The Red one is sexy

 

[Trilock_Gurtu]

Red silk, by far.
