If Bond, James Bond were a drummer, the Pearl Rhythm Traveler 5-Piece Portable Drum Kit is the set that Q would present to him at the mission briefing. The four open-bottom toms and kick all stack together into a pile so compact you can fit it into a single bass drum bag, making one-handed portage of an entire shell-set possible. What's more, this kit ships with Muffle Heads so you can rehearse silently. Imagine: a professional Pearl drum kit that you can play on stage, in studio, and at all times of the day -- and that you can carry all at once without any help.
A Perfectly Portable, Professional Kit
These kit was designed with the quick getaway in mind, and it strikes a perfect balance between "lightweight" and "sturdy." Still, this is a professional trap kit all the way. From Pearl's patented Heat Compression Molded, real wood shells to the fast kick pedal to the included brass hi-hats and crash-ride, the Pearl Rhythm Traveler can hack it on stage and even in the studio, no problem. Because what's the point of portability unless the set is one you'd be proud to show up with?
Silent Practice with Muffle Heads
Just like a secret agent's bow-tie camera, the Rhythm Travel is more than a one-trick pony. This unique kit ships with a set of muffle heads and rubber cymbals for the stealthiest practice this side of Collateralized Debt Obligations trading. The benefits of silent rehearsal on a kit that's got the same action and same head spacing as the one you'll play live are obvious: it's like being able to practice on your main kit anytime, anywhere. And switching from silent back to a live kit is as simple as changing drumheads and cymbals.

Product Description
If you're like most drummers, rehearsal time is limited. Simply finding a place to practice without disturbing the peace can be a nightmare. But imagine being able to practice anytime of the day or night, on a full size 5-piece kit, without disturbing people in the next room. Then imagine carrying the same kit, neatly stacked in the passenger seat of your car, to do a live gig. The Pearl Rhythm Traveler is the only kit that combines both these drumming necessities at a price well within reach of any working drummer. Rhythm Traveler is the go anywhere, practice anytime kit of your dreams.
With Rhythm Traveler, you get a complete set of ultra-high-quality drums and hardware, specifically designed to be lightweight yet super sturdy and highly durable. Rhythm Traveler shells are manufactured by Pearl's patented Heat Compression Shell Molding System, which is the same process used for every drum Pearl makes. Tom sizes are 10", 12" and 14" and their 5" deep, single-headed design allows them to neatly stack for compact travel while producing a great tone for live performance. Rhythm Traveler's wood shell snare drum is 5" x 13" and produces a very warm, full-bodied snare tone with excellent crack. With Rhythm Traveler, you get two complete sets of heads, one for live performance and one set of Pearl's new Muffle Heads for silent practicing. Muffle Heads are manufactured of a super strong mesh fabric that responds like a regular drumhead, while producing virtually no sound. Together with Pearl's Silent Cymbal Pads, Rhythm Traveler produces the realistic feel of a regular kit, complete with rim shots, every time you rehearse. And the best part is changing from a practice kit to a live kit is as easy as changing the batter heads and adding cymbals. Rhythm Traveler is great for the working drummer needing a small portable kit, the beginning drummer needing to get started with a high quality set, or any drummer that's tired of practicing at someone else's convenience.
Muffle Head
Pearl's all new Muffle Heads allow you to silently practice anytime while maintaining the feel of a regular drumhead.
Silent Cymbals
Together with their new Muffle Heads, Rhythm Traveler's Silent Cymbal Pads offer the perfect combination of feel and performance.
Compact Travel
Rhythm Traveler's toms neatly stack to create an extremely compact kit for transport. Every facet of the kit, including every piece of hardware, has been designed with the working and rehearsing drummer in mind. Their super sturdy 70W Series Hardware offers both double braced legs and a low mass, lightweight design, making it the perfect compliment to Rhythm Traveler. You no longer have to have a large vehicle to be a drummer. With Rhythm Traveler your kit can even fit in the passenger seat of your car.
Live Performance
Rhythm Traveler is the perfect kit for most any live performance situation where space, or the lack of it, is a major concern. With Rhythm Traveler, you're set-up, sounding great, and ready to play before most drummers could even unload their set. And when the gig is over, you're out just as quickly. With Rhythm Traveler, going from practice to live is as easy as changing the batter heads and adding a couple of cymbals.
Silent Rehearsal
When you're ready to practice, there's no substitute for the feel of a real drum kit. Rhythm Traveler's silent Muffle Heads and cymbal pads allow you to keep the response of a drumhead, and quietly rehearse anytime you choose. Plug in a set of phones and play along with your favorite tunes, or just grab a few minutes when everyone else is sleeping, with Rhythm Traveler anytime can be rehearsal time.
Rhythm Traveler Hardware
Rhythm Traveler comes complete with a full set of Pearl's all new 70W Series double braced hardware. This impressive hardware line was developed to provide maximum stability and durability, while keeping weight to a minimum for ease of transport. Every function and feature on their 70W series hardware is straight forward and dependable, with ease of use as the ultimate goal. All pipe joints feature an extended nylon joint bushing providing an extremely strong and stable adjustment system.
Rhythm Traveler's H-70W Hi-Hat stand offers a direct link pull system for precise feel and strong action, sturdy double braced legs, full height adjustability and a fully adjustable cymbal clutch. The S-70W provides adjustments for both height and basket tension, and its double braced leg tripod and low center of gravity make it an extremely stable stand. The C-70W cymbal stand provides a 3-section adjustment system, a deep gear cymbal tilter, and sturdy double braced legs. The P-70 bass drum pedal features a great feeling strap drive cam system, full adjustment over spring tension and Duo Beat beater for use with both standard and Muffle Heads.
