"Are you sure this isn't a pro kit?"

Feature:
I.S.S. tom mounts, and rubber gaskets for no metal to wood contact makes it so there are no annoying buzzes or rattles. Are you sure this isn't a pro kit?

Quality:
With a set of drum cases to keep it looking nice, the kit should stay road worthy for many years to come. The hardware is all very solid.

Value:
If you didn't know it was an export you would expect to pay way more.

Desirability:
If I didnt love it I wouldnt have bought it.

Sound:
Amazing for any venue! Toms can be cranked down for a bright jazz sound, or back them of for a deep rock or metal sound. The snare sounds great.

Overall:
I may add more toms later, but why pay way more for a "pro kit" that doesn't sound, or look any better? I think I'll keep it.

About This Product!
Description
The Pearl Export Select Drum Set has undergone a complete redesign and now features the look, sound, features, and performance of true hi-end drums, but without the forbidding hi-end price tag. One look and listen to Pearl's Export Select Series, and you'll understand exactly what all the fuss is about. Export Select offers unheard of value and performance, far superior to any other kit in its price range. That's why you see Export Select kits on stage after stage, played by true working drummers all over the world. Pearl's exclusive low mass lugs on ELX mimic the look of their acclaimed hi-end Masters Series drums, and stunning lacquer finishes allow the visual prestige of its premium natural wood grain to show through.

Pearl Export Select Features:
6-Ply 7.5mm 100% Poplar Shells

Wood Bass Drum Hoops w/Matching Finish

I.S.S. Tom Mounting System

Perimeter EQ Bass Drum Heads

New Lugs

New Recessed BD Claws

New Pedal and Hi-hat

When you dig deep into the features of Pearl Export Select, you'll find they're hi-end all the way. Features like Pearl's patented Integrated Suspension System Tom Mounts on all mounted toms for an amazingly live tone, a matching wood shell 14 x 5.5 in. Snare Drum, a full set of Pearl's road ready 800W double braced hardware, the new P-120P pedal offers styling cues from their award winning Eliminator line of high performance pedals, and the new H-820W Hi-Hat brings speed and response never before available at this price, and all drums are fitted with quality ProTone heads, including ProTone Bass Drum heads with a self-muffling perimeter EQ System. Pearl's exclusive Heat Compression Shell Molding System or HC/sms for short. 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.

If you're searching for the true leader in this price range, then you're search is definitely over. Export Select for sound, looks, performance and quality, any other kit seems a distant second choice.
