6 Ply 7.5mm 100% Poplar Shells; Wood Bass Drum Hoops w/Matching Finish; ISS Tom Mounts

Ask any Drummer working today and most of them tell you that it all started with their first Export Kit. Since Export Series hit the Rock scene more than 20 years ago it has continued to redefine what an entry level kit should be.

Features like our I.S.S. tom mounts, sturdy 800W hardware, quality ProTone heads, matching wood snare drum, the P-120P pedal that offers styling cues from our award winning Eliminator line of high performance pedals, and the H-820W Hi-Hat that brings speed and response never before available at this price.

Features are great, but sound is where Export really shines. Export features shells produced by the finest shell forming system in the world: Pearl's exclusive SST Shell Molding System. It's this exclusive system that gives Export the tone, warmth, volume and clarity that has made this series the best selling drumset in the world, year after year after year.

(see rating details)
this is a terrific set, i love pearl sets, played om them and tamas and others, but the export is one of my faves, wish the factory heads were a little better though.
Sound
replace the heads(duh) but great sound. snare rings a bit though, nothing a little moongel cant fix
Features
its all awesome. extra toms(i got 2 10s by accident) are spectacular for solos, hard to tune em low though
Ease of Use
my first set, so easy to set up, didnt really even need the manual. easy to break down too.
Quality
pearl makes better, but not for the price, i got the black, and it looks nice, but has visible seems. pretty cool if you angle it right though
Value
i got mine for fifty bux less, but it took a while, so yea pretty good value
Manufacturer Support
i never needed it
The Wow Factor
its beautiful, seems kinda ruin it if its a bad angle, but over all beautiful. love black on black. wish they had cool stains for it though, but might just have to get custom.
