An incredible set that by no means diminishes the legendary name of Pearl

Amazing sound. Pearl continues to show us why acoustic drumsets are thousands of times superior in sound that digital sets factors more expensive
Quality
Pearl is legendary for their hardware and putting together a rock solid set, this set is no exception
Value
You're getting a Pearl for an amazing price
The Wow Factor
Any seasoned drummer will immediately bow in respect to the name Pearl.

"14 years with my Pearl Export"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
All in all, it really doesn't get any better than this. Give this set a listen!
Sound
I had my Export set for 14 years and then I donated it to the local school district. It sounded and played terrific. To my ears, almost nothing beats its sound (as long as you use decent heads)...
Features
The hardware always performed as advertised for 14 years of playing and moving and bouncing around in the back of my pickup. In the real world, its how well the stuff holds up on the road AND on stage. These drums are the real deal.
Quality
14 years gives you a pretty good sense of whether or not its a good product. It isn't - Pearl drums are great products!
Value
Plays great, sounds great, holds up like a tank - can it get better than this?
Manufacturer Support
Never needed any support - never called the factory.
The Wow Factor
It is a good looking set that will look good in 10 or 15 years. The finish held up well and that sound! It isn't the most stunning drum set on the market - but it may well be the best.

"Great Drums."

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
If possible this will be the last drumset I'll ever buy.
Sound
Beutiful sound. 100 times better than the sound from the Pearl Forum Series I previously owned. Nice deep tones out of toms and bass.
Features
The tom mounts and arms are great. The arms have guards on them to protect from scratches and the wing nuts are large enough you can tighten them down without having to worry about them loosening while playing.
Quality
So far everything seems to be made very well. The hardware is holding up very well.
Value
Great drums, and sound, for the price.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to use.
The Wow Factor
The Jet Black finish with black rims and hardware is beautiful. The color is further enhanced when using Ziljan Titanium Series cymbals
