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.

But I also very much like the pearl roadshow junior. Looking for something quality (or at least something close to it) in this price range. Don't care how loud it is so long as it's in that price range and it is durable and quality made.

 I finally ended up having to by a whole new high hat unit.  Bottom line, if not for these two stripped parts I would have given 4 stars as the drums do sound nice with the exception of the cymbals which are kind of cheap.

For the money this is a nice drum kit

 The snare drum sounds good but lacks in the deep tones...I'm sure that's nothing a better drum head can fix

 If I can get these shells to sound great with the stock heads, I can only imagine how great they'll sound with better drum heads. The cymbals are complete trash but I still use em 😅. The toms are bright. The kick drum isn't as big sounding as a normal sized kick drum, but it's pretty punchy

  This kit is a perfect example of showing the importance of tuning, versus the kind of shells or drum heads you have. While the shells are relatively cheap compared to most drums, and the stock drum heads are okay, with the right tuning methods, you can get these drums to sound amazing. If I can get these shells to sound great with the stock heads, I can only imagine how great they'll sound with better drum heads. The cymbals are complete trash but I still use em 😅

.I'm sure that's nothing a better drum head can fix. Overall it sounds great.  You cannot beat the price! The quality of the hardware is good

Pearl Jazz Kit is Awesome!

 This kit can easily grow with you though, and I've already made a number of changes/additions. I immediately changed out the stock bass and tom drum heads with Remo heads and the snare with an Evans HD Dry. I also replaced the snare wires with PureSound Custom Pro. I purchased a telescoping cymbal stand and then bought a package of Meinl cymbals and hi-hats

 I also replaced the snare wires with PureSound Custom Pro. I purchased a telescoping cymbal stand and then bought a package of Meinl cymbals and hi-hats. The difference in sound quality between stock and upgrades is outstanding, even with lower-end cymbals.  If you are getting old and creaky like me and have back problems, I highly recommend you spend the money on a solid throne because you won't want to drum for long on the stock throne unless you enjoy having a numb butt, sore tailbone and aching lower back

If you are getting old and creaky like me and have back problems, I highly recommend you spend the money on a solid throne because you won't want to drum for long on the stock throne unless you enjoy having a numb butt, sore tailbone and aching lower back. Likewise, your aging ears will thank you if you protect them with some Vic Firth isolation headphones.  Special note: I opted for the 5 piece kit, so I have 3 floor toms

Learning to Drum at Fifty-One!

I'll start by saying this is a great drumset for the money. It was purchased for a church and the only thing it's missing is a nice crash symbol. Otherwise it's great quality.  Let me start by saying this drums can't be beat for the money

 Otherwise it's great quality.  Let me start by saying this drums can't be beat for the money. The quality and sound if unmatched in this price range. The only reason I had to deduct 2 stars is because I received a mixture of red drums and silver drums, which was obviously a mixup

Great drums but had issues with color received

I'm fully aware that I wasn't buying a top of the line professional drum set, but I still had expectations from pearl. I'm going to kind of break down my reviews into a few sections.  First I'm going to talk about the drums (as in the shells). I never got a chance to tune them like I wanted, but for the price

  First I'm going to talk about the drums (as in the shells). I never got a chance to tune them like I wanted, but for the price.. I don't think they would have sounded terrible with proper set up

Would not recommend to anybody with any musical knowledge in anything. Such a poorly made set.

 The snare and rack toms are pre-tuned, so only the floor tom and the bass need tuning. I've never done that before and just by listening carefully I feel I am pretty darn close if not dead on with how those drums sound.  In many other reviews I read where some (apparently more seasoned) drummers report that the cymbals need to be replaced. I'm sure that's so if you're gigging or recording with the thing right off the bat, but for a boy learning the drums I feel like I can take my time on any upgrades like that

Wow. Excellent value here. Great first drum set for my son. Went together pretty darn easily, packaging was good, and for the price I was pretty stunned at the quality of fit and finish all the way around

 Pound for pound there is absolutely nothing to complain about here. In my mind Pearl did a great job delivering high quality at a very reasonable price point.

Excellent first kit for my son!

 Bass drum is horrible. It's 18" bass drum and just can not get decent sound out of it. Hi hat stand is good and bass pedal is good. I'm already bought new cymbals

 Toms sound good. Snare is ok. Bass drum is horrible. It's 18" bass drum and just can not get decent sound out of it

 Throne is way too small. If you are a big guy you might lose it in the middle of a gig, if you know what I mean. No way can I play a 3 hr gig with that seat. I'm now thinking about either getting a bigger bass drum or the drums were cheap enough that I could buy a better set

Great set for a beginner or intermediate drummer or even a pro drummer with some modifications.

For over a quarter century, Pearl's Session Series has yielded some of the most harmonically vibrant recorded drum tones ever captured in the studio environment. Returning with a custom upgrade from our Masterworks spectrum, new Session Studio Select drums shift to a thin, 5.4mm EvenPly-Six combination of Masters-grade Birch and African Mahogany. The result is a blend of pre-EQ'd clarity and warmth with the added controlled punch of Pearl's fresh 60-degree bearing edge. In addition to a host of finish and hardware upgrades, Session Studio Select drums carry on Pearl's tradition of value for the pro player; with three specially-priced shell sets, each including a FREE added floor tom. Complementing your evolving playing style with a sophisticated tonal feel and look, Session Studio Select's premium features are outmatched only by its price.

 What's cool about that is the African mahogany brings that warmth from the inside of the drum, but also looks amazing on the outside of the drum with this really beautiful high gloss lacquer, and we'll get into the finish in just a minute. For now, on this particular setup, I have a seven by ten and an eight by twelve inch rack toms right here, fourteen by fourteen and sixteen by sixteen inch floor toms, a sixteen by twenty-two inch kick drum, and I have a matching snare that's five and a half by fourteen. This is a shell pack, so you know I've said it many times, shell packs don't come with snare drums, but they do make matching ones if you so choose. For now, I'm going to turn the snare wires off, and let's get into the sound of these tom toms

4 millimeters thick, six even plies. The four inner plies are the birch, and those are sandwiched on the inside and outside by the African mahogany.

 If you want a little bit more snap out of these drums, put on a single ply head. The pinstripes do really well with this kit, I like the way they sound. Let's put the snare wires on, do the same thing. What's cool is the real musical tone between each drums, nice tone interval from high to low, and I have them tuned sort of low and thuddy at the moment

 And most every company makes great kick drum spurs. Pearl has a great take on their spurs and they've had them around for a really long time because really if it's not broke, don't fix it, that kind of thing. These spurs are sturdy as heck. The kick drums never move

Pearl Session Studio Select 5-piece Shell Pack Review

 Now, this kit comes with a 60 degree bearing edge cut. It comes fitted with the Remo pinstripes, which I think was a great pick for this kit because it naturally just kind of cuts the sustain and gets right to the point with these punchy toms. Now, I know a lot of people say this about new kits that they sound great right out of the box, but this is a true fact with this kit. I set it up and just kind of did a finger tap tuning

 I have to say this kit looks different every light in every room, but the upkeep is a little bit more because it shows every speck of dust and every piece of hair that falls on it. This kit comes equipped with the Pearl's trademark Super Hoop 2s with a 2.3 millimeter triple flange hoop sitting on the Opti-Mount suspension system, which I like, makes it easy for any type of setup and configuration. One aesthetic I really like about what they added to this series is the new Session Studio Select badge using the classic music bronze and black color scheme, which fits this finish perfectly

 Now, I know a lot of people say this about new kits that they sound great right out of the box, but this is a true fact with this kit. I set it up and just kind of did a finger tap tuning. It kind of sped up like every octave kind of sped with each other right to the point. Now, talking about the finish on this kit, this is in the black chrome

Pearl Session Studio Select Review/Demo

 Aesthetics wise, the gloss black is classy and timeless, we really liked the slightly bronze look of the logo badges too, and finally the mahogany interiors of the shells add a beautiful detail that sets them apart from the crowd. The Sessions Studio Select drums come fitted with Chinese made Remo UT series heads, with something like a clear pinstripe over ambassador setup on the toms, you've got a coated ambassador on the snare, while the bass drum has a clear power stroke style batter head, and a ported coated front head. Also included is a bass drum muffling pillow that Velcro's into place to dampen the batter head. Once we got into tuning the drums, we were really pleased to find they settled into an even pitch all round, the only exception being the 14 inch tom that took us a little bit longer to get into tune, it did suffer from a kind of pronounced pitch dive sound that didn't seem to go away no matter how we tuned it, however we do feel like this is more to do with the head than any other reason

 Build quality wise, we were really impressed with the construction and the fit and finish of these shells. Across the board, there's no blemishes to be seen, and overall there's a very pro feel to this kit. We've always thought highly of Pearl's shell hardware, and this kit's no exception, with the OptiMount rack mount systems, the Super 2 hoops, and everything else feeling really solid and dependable. The snare throw-off mechanism is perhaps the only bit that felt a little bit flimsy, but it's still totally usable in its operation

 Finally, we really enjoyed the snare, it was crisp, loud and articulate, and we particularly enjoyed how it sounded in mid-tuning where there was a beautiful balance of overtones. Despite its loud modern voice, we actually found that this was a very versatile sounding snare with a great snare off sound as well as a really nice cross stick. Across the board, the tonality of this kit was bright and punchy, which I guess makes sense given the birch plies, but I have to say we were a little bit surprised that we didn't encounter more mid-range warmth and resonance as a result of the mahogany, as well as the very thin shell construction. As it is though, we felt that this kit had a lot of focus on stick definition that we can imagine sounding immense in the hands of a heavy hitting speed demon

5 inch snare drum. Now the shell pack on its own sets you back about £1,200, although we don't yet have the RRP, and if you wanted the matching snare with that, that would be about another £200 on top. With Pearl emphasizing both the punch and warmth of these drums in their literature, we were really keen to dig in and see what they sounded like, but before we go any further, let's check out a few more sound clips and then come back for some discussion. Our initial impression of these drums is that they're certainly thin shells, feeling quite lightweight yet still solid when you handle them
