zZounds Gear Experts Say...
The new EX-7P features an 8 in x 8 in. tom, an 8 in. x 10 in. tom, and a T-800W tom stand.
Overview
The new EX-7P features an 8 in x 8 in. tom, an 8 in. x 10 in. tom, and a T-800W tom stand. The shallower depth of the 10 in. tom reflects the changing tastes of drummers today for quicker responding toms. This add-on package is perfect for expanding sets with 12 in and 13 in. rack toms.
Export shells are formed using Pearl's exclusive Heat/Compression molding system, the same process used on all Pearl drums from entry-level to our top-of-the-line Masterworks. Pearl's proprietary overlapping seams are gapless and allow the shells to vibrate uniformly, unencumbered by air pockets like others, for exceptional clarity and purity of sound.
ProTone Heads
All Export Select bass drums are outfitted with Pearl's exclusive heads with built-in Perimeter EQ rings for great sound out-of-the-box.

New Export Lug Design
The all new Export Series for 2001 features our new RL-10 and RL-20 lugs for an exciting new split lug design similar to that of our now renown Masters Series and totally handmade Masterworks drums. In addition to their superb visual allure, the new low-mass design enhances both resonance and sustain for an unbelievable tone.

All Export mounted toms have been up-graded to feature Pearl's patented I.S.S. suspended mounting system tom holders that remove the mounting brackets from the shells thus allowing the drums to vibrate freely for an incredible increase in both resonance and sustain.
New Mahogany Shells
Export, like its sibling Export Select, now features a new 6-ply, 7.5mm, 100% Mahogany shell, for increased warmth and striking tonality. These new Export shells are formed using Pearl's exclusive Heat Compression Shell Molding System, the same process used on all Pearl drums from entry-level to our top-of-the-line Masterworks drums. Pearl's proprietary overlapping seams are gapless, and allow the shells to vibrate uniformly, unencumbered by air pockets like others. This process is the most exacting on the market today and is Responsible for Pearl's exceptional clarity and purity of sound.

I would order this again if I need to replaces these toms. Though I am an intermediate player, I am currently playing on an entry level set (Sound Percussion) and bought these to expand my 5 piece set. I expect to keep these toms after I replace the Sound Percussion set in about a year and a half. I am pleased enough with these toms to put Pearl on my list when I replace the Sound Percussion pieces. Nothing negative to say about these toms, but I would like to see another expansion pack available in larger sizes, like a 14x12 & 15x14 pack.
Sound
Straight out of the box these toms sounded pretty well with the protone heads pearl includes. I will have to do a little tuning to get my existing 12x10 and 13x11 (Dia. x Height) to match. If you are using thicker heads (Evans G2/Remo Ambassidor) on the rest of your toms, you might want to switch to a thinner ply on the batter heads or tune those toms a little higher. These toms produced a tone that was slightly higher than I expected, but they sound great. Overtones are controlled and the natural frequency of the tom comes through.
Features
The hardware is high quality and easy to set up. I especially liked the tom holders, which are black (powder coating I think) and match the black rims, ISS mounts, and lugs. This was my first experience with a suspended mount and from now on this will be my preferred mounting choice. The feet are thick rubber, and the tension… read more knobs are ergonomic. There is some room for improvement, though. The tom stand should raise a little higher, maybe 6 inches, as there is often a need to have the smaller toms above the height of the rack toms. Also, the tom holders should be a longer, about 4 inches, which would allow the 10" to be higher than the 8 inch than what is currently possible for some configurations (the 8", 10" and existing 12" form a triangle with the 10" at the top).
Ease of Use
Sounded great out of the box. Didn't have to read instructions to set things up, even though this is my first Pearl purchase. However, I did make sure I had the ISS setup according to instructions before letting it bear the weight of the tom. Includes an easy to operate triangular clamp to attach the tom holders to the stand.
Quality
I've had it for a week. No problems so far. The metal in the stand is thick, not cheap and wobbly. Clamps have good holding power. There were a few small scratches on the finish, but you have to be looking for them and hold them in the light just right to see them. The badge on the tom is nice looking as well. Package arrived with the contents secured with thick paper and was compact. ISS mounts were in their own boxes inside the main packaging.
Value
I chose this over a similar ludwig product and was happy I did, even though they were more expensive. These had the ISS mount which produces a better sound from the tom, and the finish and hardware is superior. For what I was looking for (2 toms & stand that matched my existing finish) this was the best I found on the net.

Not needed so far.
The Wow Factor
Good looking, good sounding drums with sturdy hardware = fun to play.
