"Awesome looks, okay quality, bad sound, but its still a Pearl"

Feature:
The snare switch is dumb, when you need to put the snare off, you need to really work at it to have it go down all the way. The cymbals were pretty bad. Nothing special about the set.

Quality:
The drums are really sturdy, i tried to break my sticks. no pro held up like a rock. The snare is terrible sound wise, qualities a so so. The toms aren't bad. The bass pedal was pretty crappy as the part where you connect the beater in, loosens often and makes a clicking noise. Cymbal stands are really good i found them to be really sturdy as well. The hi-hat on the other hand wasn't it was pretty bad, when i would play the hi-hat would radomly drop down because the knob would loosen over palying.

Value:
Considering it came with cymbals its not bad for a Pearl drumset its really just all in the name "Pearl"

Desirability:
Looked really sharp! I bought the black carbon, which is black and kind of green checkers. Looked HOT!!

Sound:
I expected better from Pearl, the snare was terrible. After two days of playing the snare head broke.(i wasnt playing hard)After changing the head to a thicker remo emperor, it sounded really bad. I had to go out and purchase some moon gel to dampen it. If your a jazzish drummer this snare sucks if you roll. I also had to change the high tom's skin to a remo pinstripe because it cracked. Otherwise the Bass, and the other toms are not bad.

Ease of Use:
It was pretty easy to use considering i know how to set it up. I had no confusion at all. Quite easy...

Support:
When i broke the snare head, the guy was so rude and mean. He was like " stop bothering my people!!" like really mean....total asshole.

Overall:
Its a alright beginners set, but you could be a lot more satisfied with a TAMA or a Pearl Export. Im not over it, it plays alot better after you change the heads. I bought Sabian cymbals which was alot better. If you change the snare drum it would be a heck of a lot better of a set.

"VERY NICE BEGINNER KIT."

Feature:
i think the boom stand is good and stable but the hi hat stand is decent. i would upgrade to a more stirdy hi hat stand. as far as the cymbals go, they absoloutly suck. i would recommend just buying the 5 pieces without the cymbals and hardware and get some good cheap dw stands and get a zildjian or a sabian starter cymbal pack.

Quality:
this is one high quality kit for the price. cant go wrong.

Desirability:
umm, i already have it and it is one nice kit

Sound:
i think the sound quality is very good for a beginner set, if u are a beginner and looking for a set, pearl forum is the way to go

Overall:
this is one excellent kit for the price. dont get the hardware though. the cymbals suck. better off getting sabians or zildjians.

About This Product!
Description
New Forum "Ready-Set-Go"
The Forum, the best-quality entry-level drum set in the world, is now the best value, too. The 5-piece Forum receives a host of extras including cymbals, throne, and a pair of drumsticks. With all the essentials included, the Forum is ready to play and truly lives up to its nickname, Ready-Set-Go!

The Forum features 100% Mahogany shells made in the same molds using the same Heat Compression Process as Pearl's professional series drums. All Forum shells feature Pearl's exclusive scarf joint (gapless seam) construction heretofore available only on professional level Pearl lacquered drums. Gapless construction improves the strength of the shells and allows the drums to vibrate uniformly, unimpeded by air pockets, providing warmth and richness found only in more expensive drums. For 2000, the snare drum has been upgraded from steel to Mahogany. The new 5.5 in. x 14 in. Mahogany snare drum provides superior sonic performance and value.

The hardware has also been upgraded. The all-new S-70W snare stand, C-70W cymbal stand, and H-70W hi-hat stand feature sturdy, double-braced legs and outstanding Pearl quality! The matching P-70 pedal features a strap drive for smooth and fleet action. The bonus D-70W throne features double-braced legs and infinitely adjustable height settings with stop-lock memory. A pair of great-sounding 14 in. hi-hat cymbals and 18 in. crash/ride cymbal are included. Last but not least, a pair of Vic Firth 5A drumsticks are also included.

Features
Low-mass lugs for optimum tonality and resonance.

Low-mass tom mounting brackets for maximum sound optimization.

Heavy-duty SP-70 spurs for stability and key style tension rods for precise tuning on bass drums.

Three section height adjustment on C70W cymbal stands and smooth direct pull action on H70W hi-hat stands.
