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.

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my husband. It is an amazing quality drum kit. It is very pretty in a lovely sparkly shade of bronze. It arrived quickly- well before ETA and was packaged very nicely and securely. Set up was a breeze and instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Definitely a great beginner drum kit!

Great set. However, it did have some dents and scratches on some of the drums around rims. Was easy to assemble.

This is my second Pearl Road Show 5 Piece Drum Set I purchased online, last one in 2016. Every single item, all hardware including tension rods, drum shells, batter and resonant heads, stands, every single piece was in the contents of two delivered boxes to assemble the complete drum kit. The drum shells came with the burnt orange color, the color was not quite the orange I anticipated; it seemed a little more of a dark shade of red than orange, but that was OK. This may have been due to the photography shown online. The drum shells arrived in perfect condition not damaged or cracked, the machined edges were very well finished. I swopped some of the delivered packaged items such as some of the cymbal stands, the stock Pearl cymbals and throne with upgrades I purchased in the past. The kit included some extras like a very nice-looking Pearl drum stick bag, pair of drum sticks, a Pearl Drum set Poster that I mounted on the wall and a drum tuning key. I am using the stock Pearl drumheads, they seem OK for now but will upgrade them later in the year. The drums have a very nice tone once they are tuned to liking, the kit is a ton of fun to play and I would recommend any beginner or a drummer needing to gig on to purchase this drum set. I am very happy with this purchase and it was a very fair price.

Love the set, clean, well made, good sound, nice stands. chrome, paint and hardware good quality. Only thing I suggest is a couple more cymbal stands and throw the 2 Pearl cymbals out.. Get a good 4 pack of Zildjians or similar for a great sounding set. Good deal!

I’m 73 years old and have been playing drums for 60 years. This is a smaller footprint, lighter to carry set that I’m using for small venues. It’s a good looking, good sounding set. Cymbals are not bad but I’ll use my Zildjens. Hardware and stands are excellent. Better than my stands from my ‘68 Ludwig set! Can’t beat it for the price!

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 shinyOverall, 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.

If you are looking for a beginner drum kit for descent pricing and good quality with extra features perfect sounding, then this is the best. The poster included is amazing. Sticks × 2 pairs included with carry bag for sticks.

Excelente producto, tanto el hardware como el sonido son geniales, y lo mejor de todo es que ocupa poco espacio al ser una bateria "tipo Jazz".Sí, si incluye todo lo que se muestra en la imagen, desde platillos, hasta trono y baquetas.
