I've been wanting a practice kit for awhile now. And this is a great little kit for that type of category, nice sturdy hardware, the shells were actually better quality than I was expecting. Only 2 problems I've had with the kit. First thing first is there's no riser for the bass drum, so I couldn't add a professional quality pedal too the kit. Second problem was the snare, so I only played on the snare for about 3 hours until the snare wires were starting too get looser & looser. So I go and try to adjust the snare wires and make them tighter, but unfortunately had the same problem. But I have professional quality snares so it wasn't a huge deal for me. Overall a great little kit for the first time buyers/ practice kit. Read more

I've had an electric drum for the longest time, decided to buy the real thing. Very satisfied with my purchased: I made some research before buying the Roadshow. Most drummers would recommend buying used to get your moneys worth, but when you dont know much about drums from the get go it feels less intimidating to simply buy brand new. This set is everything I hoped for. If you are an experience drummer you will definitely notice multiple flaws with this set, especially the cymbals. But for all the newbies (or casual but long-term drummers) this drum is enough to learn the fundamentals, and definitely enough to jam with friend or play at small events. The unboxing took me as long as the actual installation. In total, it took me about 2.5 hours (from the box to the final installation) to install. The trickiest part is the tuning of the heads. I recommend using a free application from your phone to listen to the frequency and match it to your liking. The crash and hats cymbals are definitely the cheapest part of the set, which was the main negative comments from other reviewers online. But they ended up being better than I expected. It will be the 1st thing I upgrade on my set. In conclusion, this drum set is amazing and I strongly recommend it. Pearl is a trusted reputable brand and it definitely shows. Shame that it is Made in China, but its impossible to find things not made in China nowadays, unless you're rich. Read more

You can't beat Pearl for the combo of quality and price. I wanted a smaller kit for portability, and noticed many local drummers playing these 4-pc "bop"/jazz/jungle kits, with great sound. I didn't want the hassle of a shell kit (drums only, no stands/pedals) even though I have some spare hardware. And I own another Pearl kit (have owned others over the years), so I know the quality is there. The kit comes complete: drums, stands, cymbals, pedals, even sticks. And it's packed in an AMAZINGLY small box. Some comments on the components: You can make cheap drums sound really good if the shells are solid and the edges are flat and smooth, good angle (for contact with the heads). Pearl has solid, high-quality shells. They're poplar, not maple or birch or mahogany, but the wood type matters less wrt sound than good construction and heads. The hoops and clamps are nicely chromed and solid. One big upgrade for any low-end kit is the heads. The included ones look ok, but I replaced the tom and snare heads with Remo and Evans heads, keeping the bottom reso heads and the ones on the bass drum. I haven't tuned them yet, but the sound is pretty solid on all drums, good bass, tight snare that needs a bit of damping. Hardware is double-braced and solid. I really like the bass pedal, even though I have others And the hi-hat stand is responsive. The cymbal boom where a 2nd tom would be is a nice touch. I added a 2nd boom with a crash that is clamped to the tom mount, nice and compact. There are lock collars on the tom/cymbal mounts to make teardown/setup easy on the go. The drum sizes are great for a portable kit with great sound. the 18" shallow bass has good punch but is much smaller than a typical deeper 22" one. The 10" tom and 14" floor tom give a good sound range, and the 13" thin snare has good impact when tuned (using a moongel on it, Evans reverse dot head). Always tune the drums properly and the sound will be great on these. And they're much easier to transport than my full-sized kits. OK, the #2 big upgrade for low-end kits is the cymbals. The included brass ones are, well, usable. But you generally need bronze cymbals for good sound (B8 alloy or the higher-end B20, for example). I'm using a mix of Wuhan, Sabian, Zildjian cymbals. You might get lucky with a good-sounding brass cymbal, but go bronze (buy used, to save $$$). The throne is a bit small and not super sturdy, but it's surprising they even included one. I'm using one I already had. I didn't comment on the looks because that's secondary for me, but it is a nice-looking kit. I have the gloss black, nice defect free finish on the shells, and the chromed hardware is shiny Overall, you can't get a good-sounding quality compact kit for anywhere near this price. Upgrading the top (batter) drum heads and getting good cymbals makes this a nice-sounding kit at a budget price. Read more
