Pearl

collapse expand iconDescription

Like a legendary group or solo act whose mystique only grew during inactivity, the Export Series from Pearl is back and ready to help you take your act on the road. Unlike that aged group or musician, Pearl Export has only improved with age. Offering new hardware features, SST shell construction and suspended mounts, these Export drums are better than you remember them. The 6-ply poplar and mahogany shells churn out balanced attack and full tone, while the high-end hardware will make your trip down memory lane a pleasant one.

Pearl's updated Export Series offers a sonically advanced recipe of strategically arranged plies of premium wood to maximize frequency response of every component. As with all Pearl drums, each shell is formed from our legendary SST construction process that uses extreme heat, Precision-cut scarf joints, proprietary Acoustiglue and over 1,000 lb. of hydraulic pressure to create the ultimate acoustic air chamber.

Further emphasizing Pearl's "sound first" philosophy are the new lugs specifically designed for Export with sound-enhancement in mind. Designed for minimal shell interaction, they have a small footprint and low-mass for maximum resonance and sustain. Their bold look is modern but with a nod to lugs from Pearl's past.

Export rack toms are equipped with Pearl's new Opti-Loc Mounting System that features a triangular design with two tension rod attachment points and another through one of the drum's two air vents. Rubber isolators at all connection points allow the drums to vibrate freely for maximum sustain and resonance while providing absolute and wobble-free performance.

Cymbals are sold separately.

    Worth Every Penny

    I must've read reviews for at least ten different brands and styles before finally deciding on the Pearl Export Series. I've been a drummer for years and I've played on everything from Gretsch, to Ludwig, and by far, Pearl has always been my favorite. These took a while to come in because they had just refreshed the color, but the Smokey Chrome looks absolutely gorgeous. It's eye-popping enough to people will be drawn to it, but not flashy enough as to distract from everything else going on. The sound is killer once you get the drums tuned up right, even with the stock heads. I'd like a little more snap to my snare drum, but I'll probably end up adding a piccolo snare in the future, but for an out of the box "intermediate" kit, you won't be disappointed. All of the hardware feels really good, and doesn't feel like the cheap stuff you get with some drumsets. Even a few friends were impressed with the bass drum pedal and hi-hat set-up which are incredibly responsive. Would absolutely buy this kit again and again.

      Just gorgeous. Hardware, drums, shells are awesome. So happy with my purchase. I would recommend Pearl Export Fusion to anyone. The 10, 12, and 16 inch Toms are just beautiful. I really like the difference with these verses the standard Tom sizes.

    • Cheap and expensive, greatly amazing!

      I decided to buy a new kit though I rarely play live anymore. I've always played Pearl in the past and liked the look and sizes of the Export Fusion kit. These drums are great for the money. Very nice finish. Sturdy, good looking hardware. And really nice tone. I did change the snare drum head to a higher quality Remo item and added an aftermarket snare wire, which did improve the sound of the snare quite a bit. All in all, I am very pleased with these drums and look forward to years of playing pleasure.

    • Excellent!

      This is a fantastic kit. The craftsmanship of Pearl is second to none. The bearing edges are excellent, the hardware is durable. The tone is VERY nice and is easily manipulated with the heads of your choice. The snare drum is especially impressive in this price range. If you are a beginner consider no other kit. If you are experienced this kit would be a fantastic voice to add to your collection of drums. The sound of the Poplar/"Asian mahogany" shells record very nicely as well. Highly Recommended! Additionally, the management and staff at the Ashville, NC store are knowledgeable, professional and exhibit great people skills. I am excited to business with Guitar Center in the future! Now if I could get those complimentary cymbals! LOL!

    • Incredible kit!

      I have owned several "high dollar" kits in the past 35 years and this Pearl Export kit definitely holds it's own. The key as with any drum set is to understand drum heads and tuning. The shells are fantastic quality. The bearing edges are VERY nice. The covering (Black Cherry Glitter) is beautiful and constructed in a way as to not mute the shell...NICE! I am also totally impressed with the management and drum techs at the Ashville, NC store. I will definitely continue my purchases with Guitar Center.

      So we only get the stands for the cymbal and do we get the peices to tighten the cymbal to the stand ?

      This is a new model from Pearl. These are considered to be very good quality. The Roadshow model would be right below this model and the Decade Maple would be right above this model.
