Best small kit out there
Needed lighter kit when hurt my knee..wondering why didn’t get this years ago..
Two bags light to carry, quick to set up..and sounds great..when mics on wouldn’t know difference to bigger kit..kick so punchy for size!!
Great kit.
A brilliant little kit. Mainly used for acoustic jazz gigs so far with a few backbeat type things thrown in too ...Cantaloupe/ Groove Elation / Red Baron etc. It could probably punch above it's weight on a moderately loud rock gig too. Bass drum lift is excellent and a great sounding snare for the price! Combined with the bag set it's just perfect for most of the stuff I do . Great kit!
Amazing kit!
Bought this as I gig weddings a lot and need something more lightweight to carry all the time. This kit is great! Small but doesn't compromise on sound! Stick a mic in the bass drum & it sounds great! Cymbal stand in the bass drum mount and boom cymbal arms off that for anything else I need, with another clamp for the tom. Works great!
Very Useful and Good Quality Kit
The kit is very light and practical for transport and the hardware is robust and of great quality for the price. Actually everything looks and works like you would expect from a top-tier drum. Great lugs, rosettes, screw action, thick hoops and workmanship in general. Even the snare wires sound fine and offer good response. Rims are of the thinner kind, as you would expect for the budget, but nothing feels flimsy or works shabbily. You would do well to replace the tom batter heads and the snare resonant head, but on the whole the entire set sounds, sets up and looks great. And the kick drum lift is an awesome accessory, as well as the cut in the associated hoop. Absolute bargain. I also sometimes turn mine into an e-drum, with a couple of mesh heads and triggers. Ideal drum for that kind of modification. I can't recommend it enough.
Pearl Midtown
Bought this kit last week.
Wow. What value for money this little kit is.
Just changed heads on the toms.
Left original snare and bass drum heads on.
I mic up all drums through a very good quality PA and I'll tell you, it sounds huge. The whole kit
fits in 2 padded bags. So easy to carry. I will change the snare batter head, and honestly if I had to pick a weak point about this kit, it would be the snare itself.
Totally useable but not the best, then again you must remember the price of this whole package!!!
Pearl have done it again.
Fully recommended.
Tune it right,mic it up and boom.
Go for it.
