Widely Popular Drum Kit at a Bargain Price!

Upgraded shells, hardware, and more make this Pearl Export EXX 5-piece drum set an upgraded version of one of the most popular and affordable drum kits around. Inspired by Pearl's Reference Series, this Export EXX kit Superior Shell Technology (SST) uses a combination of strategically-arranged plies of premium wood and proprietary construction techniques to offer you a durable shell that maximizes frequency response. And the Opti-Loc mounting system keeps your toms wobble free while reinforcing the resonance of the kit. And the included 830-series hardware adds big bang for the buck with the Pearl Export EXX drum kit. All you need to do is add the cymbals!

Pearl Export EXX 5-piece Drum Kit Features at a Glance:
  • Superior Shell Technology
  • Opti-Loc mounting system reduces wobble and improves resonance
  • Included Pearl 830-series hardware and P-930 pedal
Super Shell Technology

The Pearl Export EXX 5-piece drum kit's poplar and Asian mahogany shells are constructed using Pearl's proprietary Superior Shell Technology. This construction method incorporates Pearl's trademarked AcoustiGlue that is boiled into the shells and pressed at over 1,000 lbs. of hydraulic pressure, making the shell act and resonate as a single ply. SST uses precision-cut scarf joints to join the seams of the shells, offering over 800% more contact area than standard butt joints. This technology makes these drums so durable that they come with a limited lifetime warranty from Pearl. And to make these shells sound even better, Pearl outfits them with new lugs that minimize shell interaction for maximum resonance and sustain.

Opti-Loc mounting is stable and enhances your tone

Pearl Export EXX series Opti-Loc mounting system features a triangular design with two tension rod attachment points that hold your toms firmly in place with no wobble. Pearl places rubber isolators at all of the connection points to allow the shells to vibrate freely for more sustain and resonance. The Opti-Loc mounting system keeps your toms right where you need them and sounding their best, whether you're practicing at home or recording drum tracks at a studio.

Included Pearl 830-series hardware and P-930 pedal

The high-quality 830-series hardware included in this Pearl Export EXX 5-piece drum kit is a sophisticated addition. Utilizing infinitely adjustable Uni-lock tilters, you have the ability to position your cymbals and snare drum precisely. The 1" base tubes and .87" center tubes with double-braced tripods are exceptionally sturdy. And the included P-930 bass drum pedal combines Pearl's Demon Drive pedal with their Eliminator interchangeable cam technology to dial in your power and control.

Pearl Export EXX 5-Piece drum kit Features:
  • SST (Superior Shell Technology) construction for durability and tone
  • Hand-selected mahogany/poplar shells
  • Opti-Loc mounting system for wobble-free performance and improved resonance
  • 830-series hardware is easy to position and very stable
  • P-930 drum pedal combines two popular Pearl designs
Pearl improved on a legend with the Export EXX 5-piece drum set.

Great kit, bad heads

The kit sounds amazing. The hardware is really solid, the shells are well made, overall it's a fantastic value.,that said, the stock heads it comes with are terrible, I'd plan to replace them right away. I replaced with 2 ply coated heads and the drums really sing. Highly recommended!

They look great, they sound great

I had a Roadshow kit for 2.5 years and really did enjoy playing them. I wanted an upgrade to further my experience and Seeetwatet recommended the Export series. I was not disappointed.

As a young man, performing professionally, I performed on several different sets. But when I sat behind the new Export series, I was blown away by the quality construction, their beauty and their sound.

I could not be happier. Once again, Sweetwater hit it out of the park.

Thank you, Keith

Awesome Set Awesome Price

I've been playing Pearl drums for 45 years. I needed some new ones and didn't want to shell out a lot of dough. This was an awesome value and they sound great. They, together with my Zildjians sound GREAT!

Puts a smile on your face

I've played since 1985, mainly on my 1961 Slingerland, and this set absolutely blows me away every time I play. My wife bought me the fusion kit in Electric Blue Sparkle win the 10", 12", and 16" toms for Christmas. The drums blend well together and the toms produce a nice pitch separation and attack/bend when tuned up. The snare is lightweight, but versatile and warm.

The quality is much, much better than the Exports I remember growing up, the details abound, and the sound is incredible for a $600 set. I've mic'ed them too - it's all good! I put my full set of Zildjian As on it with Evans EC2s on the toms, and the sound it makes is warm, fat, and musical at any volume level. I upgraded to the P932 double pedal and added three more Pearl 900 series cymbal stands to round it out. It just puts a smile on your face with every note. I've been a Pearl fan for years, and the new Exports will not disappoint you. Wonderful drums!

Great set, but replace heads ASAP.

Overall this is a fantastic kit. It shows up on mics and really resonates. Only problem is the stock heads that come with is. They are terrible. I would recommend you buy coated pinstripes for Tom's and a P77 for snare.
