Pearl FZ725B Forum 5-Piece Drum Kit

Consarnit, if it ain't one thing, it's t'other! It's like, if I want a truly complete drum kit I gotta settle on "student" quality shells, or if I want pro-sounding drums, I gotta buy a shell kit and then add on the hardware and cymbals and such later. . . and that'll end up costing the arm and leg I was planning on using to play my new kit! Why can't someone just put together a quality drum set that includes solid hardware, great sounding cymbals, and everything I'll need to start playing right away, dag nabbit? Well now, looky here; looks like I was too busy hollerin' to realize that zZounds already has exactly the deal I'm looking for in the Pearl FZ725B Forum 5-Piece Drum Kit. . . my bust!

It Starts With Pro-Construction Pearl Forum Shells
Man, I really can get a kit that includes hardware, cymbals, and a throne without having to sacrifice great shell tone. The Pearl FZ725B set is based around the great-sounding Forum shells. These guys are made using the same Heat Compression technique as Pearl's higher-cost shells, and their 100% poplar construction features the signature seamless-gap scarf-joint for drums that are punchy, resonant, and loud! The shells are also outfitted with pro-grade, low-mass lugs and mounting brackets for increased resonance. . . and the black metal finish looks pretty sweet, too!

How About Some Cymbals And Matching Hardware?
Here's where those bare-bones "shell kits" leave off: cymbals and hardware. I can't even play the beat from "W.M.A." without a hi-hat, guys, I mean seriously! Thankfully, Pearl has matched their flexible-style Forum shells with an equally adaptable and musical pack that includes the two most important cymbals you'll ever need. You get a 14" hi-hat pair that's not too heavy and not too light, perfect for just about any musical genre. That's complemented by an 18" crash/ride, a dynamic cymbal that fills the dual role of time keeper and accent. Holler. The FZ725B set gives you a place to hang your hats and ride, too, with matching black-finish metal cymbal and hi-hat stands. No scrimping on this hardware, either: the hat-stand is powered by a smooth chain drive and P120-style pedal for total control.

. . . A Throne, A Kick Pedal, Some Sticks. . .
. . . the three essential kit components that are most often overlooked, and they're all here! You'll be jammin' away the same day this package arrives with a pair of Vic Firth 5A sticks, a Pearl P70 chain-drive bass pedal, and a sturdy Pearl D-70W height-adjustable throne.

. . . Which Is Enough To Start Jamming At Home, But What If You Want To Hit The Road?
Hey, chill, zZounds has you covered! They know that drummers get the short end of the stick when it comes to lugging equipment around, so they've put together a bundle that'll make gigging as hassle-free as it's gonna get without hiring roadies. It's called the "Gig Ready Bundle" (clever, huh?) and it includes rough-'n-tumble and perfectly size-matched Gator cases for your shells, a DrumFire rolling cymbal trolly, and a Pearl stick bag to carry the five extra pairs of Vic Firth sticks the bundle also includes. zZounds also throws in gig essentials like a non-slip drum-mat (because it's easier to keep time when you can stay in one place) and a drum key (yes, even drummers have to tune). The whole shebang would cost you about $360 were to to buy it separately, but the Gig Ready Bindle will save you over 160 bucks!

Add A Double-Bass Pedal For Speed-Metal Madness
Wanna really kick your kit into overdrive? Add a Pearl double-bass pedal to the Gig Ready Bundle for only $100 more. The "Double Bass Bundle" saves you over $200! Wowzers!
