Pearl 5 piece drum set

One of the World’s Most Popular Drum Kits

Upgraded shells, hardware, and more make this Pearl Export EXX 5-piece drum set an upgraded version of one of the most popular and affordable drum kits around.

EXX kit’s Superior Shell Technology (SST)

Inspired by Pearl’s Reference series, this Export EXX kit’s Superior Shell Technology (SST) uses a combination of strategically arranged plies of premium wood and proprietary construction techniques to offer you a durable shell that maximizes frequency response.

Opti-Loc mounting system

The Opti-Loc mounting system keeps your toms wobble-free while reinforcing the resonance of the kit. And the included 830 series hardware adds big bang for the buck to the Pearl Export EXX drum kit. All you need to do is add the cymbals!

Superior Shell Technology

The Pearl Export EXX 5-piece drum kit’s poplar and Asian mahogany shells are constructed using Pearl’s proprietary Superior Shell Technology. This construction method incorporates Pearl’s trademarked AcoustiGlue that is boiled into the shells and pressed at over 1,000 lbs. of hydraulic pressure, making the shell act and resonate as a single ply.

offering over 800% more contact area than standard butt joints

SST uses precision-cut scarf joints to join the seams of the shells, offering over 800% more contact area than standard butt joints. This technology makes these drums so durable that they come with a limited lifetime warranty from Pearl. To make these shells sound even better, Pearl outfitted them with new lugs that minimize shell interaction for maximum resonance and sustain.

The opti-Loc mounting system reduces wobble and improves resonance

Pearl Export EXX series Opti-Loc mounting system features a triangular design with two tension rod attachment points that hold your toms firmly in place with no wobble. Pearl places rubber isolators at all the connection points to allow the shells to vibrate freely for more sustain and resonance. The Opti-Loc mounting system keeps your toms right where you need them and sounding their best, whether you’re practicing at home or recording drum tracks at a studio.

Product Description

Pearl, the world’s largest drum manufacturer, proudly presents new Roadshow Series.

THE RHYTHM IS IN YOU! The right gear is essential for setting it free. No toys or hand-me-downs; a new, complete drum set package with everything you need to start your rhythmic journey to the big time.

Pearl Roadshow drums are built with 9 ply 7mm Poplar shells and 1.2mm triple flanged hoops. Comes with heads and double braced hardware. Each set includes maple drumsticks and professional stick bag.

Here are some things to look for when buying your first drum kit; see for yourself how Roadshow stacks up:

Hardware

Cymbal, hi-hat, and snare drum stands should start with a strong and well-balanced tripod base. Double-braced legs and interlocking tilter adjustments are also vital for keeping all parts of the kit in place under the pressure of performance. ROADSHOW’s included hardware package is second-to-none in its class. All stands are dual-reinforced, height and angle adjustable, and feature double-braced legs to withstand the pounding onslaught of the heavy-hitting drummer.

Snare Drum

The Snare Drum is the voice of the drum set and captures everything from the loudest accents to the softest “ghost” notes. With a matching shell and finish, the ROADSHOW snare is full of attack and power, yet sensitive enough for drumming at any volume.

Bass Drum

The bass drum is the tonal heartbeat of the drum set and should not only set the low-end pulse for the groove, but be a foundation for the rest of the complete drum set-up. The ROADSHOW kick drum features an extended tension/tuning range for low, chest-thumping bass frequencies, and includes locking, slip-free feet (or ‘spurs’), and secure mounting for toms and accessories.

Cymbals

ROADSHOW’s included cymbal set features a 16” brass crash/ ride and a set of 14” brass/hybrid hats. Perfect for accents and timekeeping until an upgraded multi-cymbal set-up is acquired.
