Sakura was apparently picky about this. Also, he cut the edges to this drumset himself. "My Marine Pearl MR set was the one I used as my main set for L'Arc~en~Ciel. I had this instrument teach me a truly great number of things. A number of times I replaced parts as new ones came out, I modded it to the best of my ability... in the end I even recut the edges myself. This set has become the standard to which I compare my drums." - Sakura, in February 2006 article of Rhythm and Drums magazine. Translated by James Chertudi. |
