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 1000lb. 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 sold separately.

    I'm so glad this kit is back on the market. This was my beginner kit, but the difference in sound is hardly noticeable from the Pearl Masters. From easy-listening jazz to death metal, this reliable kit will serve you better than any every step of your musical journey.

  • Great Starter Kit, Worth every penny.

    byWhat kind of question is that.

    fromAnaheim

    I just started playing drums (with sticks) in November 2016. I have a few years experience playing bongos and congas so learning on a full set with sticks was easy.These drums are made well and havent fallen apart despite playing them every day.

  • These are very nice looking and sound great!

    This set is absolutely stunning! I was surprised when it arrived. This listing on GC didn't mentioned it comes with Remo Heads and a mini Bass Muffler. I was a little upset that one of the lugs was missing a nut to screw in the tension rod on the bass. But that was easily rectified by my local GC. Overall this kit is a masterpiece.

    I have an Escort kit and the clutch on my high hat has broken. Will any replacement work or must it be the exact Gibraltar match?

    Hey! I'm a high schooler who had the sudden urge to learn how to play the drums. I've been scrolling on a couple of websites and this is the first drum set I've seen that is praised for its wonderful ability. I'm wondering if this is really the best drums for beginners who have no idea how drums work. I also don't know the different parts by name but is there a part that I will need to purchase after (if) I get the drums?

    Yes, this will be an excellent kit for a beginner or at any skill level - Pearl make quality drums. The only other thing you would need to purchase are the sticks and a drum seat
