I was looking for an upgrade set from an old slingerland odessey, and the first set that came to mindwas the pearl export. I have played on the old version, but this one sounds way better. I am beginning my own band and this is the best piece of equipment I own so far. My school owns an old export, and I am proud to say that my set is better than my schools. I am so happy with it.

I just got it for Christmas, and it is so wounderful!! this set was fun, and easy to put together, and if you have never put a set together before, it has a very well made video that goes step by step putting it together.

these are some excellent quality drums for the price, but, if youre looking some top of the line stuff they arent a good choice, ive played tama rockstars for years, but these sound way better, i dont like the iss system much, but great shells, good hardware, nice clean look, and great price, just really hate the tom mounting system

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

Desirability:
Any seasoned drummer will immediately bow in respect to the name Pearl.

Sound:
Amazing sound. Pearl continues to show us why acoustic drumsets are thousands of times superior in sound that digital sets factors more expensive

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

I bought the product at a fair price for this amzing set. But this price the sight is giving is amazing.

it is the best every drummer needs this.

I dont know but pearl drumsets continue to have the highest quality drum sets in my oppinion

Feature:
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.

Desirability:
The Jet Black finish with black rims and hardware is beautiful. The color is further enhanced when using Ziljan Titanium Series cymbals

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.

Support:
Haven't had to use.

Overall:
If possible this will be the last drumset I'll ever buy.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
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?

Desirability:
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.

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)...

Support:
Never needed any support - never called the factory.

Overall:
All in all, it really doesn't get any better than this. Give this set a listen!
