Everything You Need to Start Drumming

Get your show on the road in one complete package with Pearl's Roadshow 5-piece drum set. Formed from multiple plies of bonded hardwood, Roadshow drum shells feature 6-ply poplar shells for optimal tone, molded to fabricate a resonance chamber that projects powerfully when you strike the drumhead. A drum's bearing edge is where much of its tonal character begins, and Roadshow drums sport hand-cut 45-degree bearing edges that contact the head optimally for solid, punchy tone and easier tuning. This complete Pearl Roadshow kit includes drums, cymbals, hardware — and even sticks and a stick bag — so you can get up and drumming right away.

High-impact kick and snare

Your bass drum is the heartbeat of your kit, setting the pulse for the groove. Indeed, the kick is the foundation for your entire drum set. Pearl's Roadshow bass drum gives you an extended tension/tuning range for low, chest-pounding bass frequencies, and includes locking, slip-free spurs and secure mounting for your toms and accessories. The Roadshow snare — the voice of your drum set — delivers everything from the loudest accents to the most delicate ghost notes. It's packed with power and attack, yet sensitive enough for any musical genre, at any volume.

Quality hardware

Sweetwater drummers know that good, solid hardware makes life easier. The Pearl Roadshow 5-piece drum set comes with cymbal, hi-hat, and snare drum stands that provide a strong, balanced tripod base. These stands are adjustable for height and angle and feature double-braced legs and interlocking tilter adjustments, so your drum set stays put during the intensities of live performance.

Pearl Roadshow RS525SC 5-piece Complete Drum Set Features:

  • 6-ply poplar shells (depth x diameter): 16-inch x 22-inch bass drum, 5.5-inch x 14-inch snare drum, 8-inch x 10-inch and 9-inch x 12-inch rack toms, and a 16-inch x 16-inch floor tom
  • Hardware: cymbal stand, hi-hat stand, snare stand, two rack tom holders, and kick pedal
  • Cymbals: 16-inch crash/ride and 14-inch hi-hats
  • Accessories: maple drumsticks (2 pair), stick bag, Pearl drum poster, and drum throne

Pearl Roadshow

Awesome set of drums.
Rated 4.5/5

Excellent set of drums, not JUST for beginners.

First of all you will want to get a good quality ride cymbal to add to the kit, it just doesn't sound right without it. get a new stand and use the crash that comes with it. Or, if you can afford it, just get a whole new set. You can find really good deals on ebay.

Then you will want to replace the 3 tom heads with good quality heads. The toms do ring a bit so you will want to grab some gel to dampen them. Tune the toms down as low as possible.

Don't do anything to the snare except a gel pad or something, it sounds as good as high end snare straight out of the box. Pearl is known for really good snares and it shows with this one. If I ever get rid of this kit I will keep the snare.

The kick has a huge sound to it, so do what you must to it. I like it loud and deep so mine is unaltered.

A Lot of Bang for the Buck

I have owned many kits over the years and this set is a very good value. The hardware (cymbal stands, snare stand, kick pedal and hi-hat stand) are all excellent and very sturdy...I was very surprised by that fact. Of course the cymbals are not good at all, but that is to be expected and can be replaced cheaply enough. The drum heads are actually acceptable, although I replaced all the top heads with premium heads.The drums are solid and look great, they sound great as well. I am extremely happy with this kit and believe it is worth every penny. A kit in this price range has to make some compromises as compared to a higher priced set, but Pearl didn't skimp on the more important parts.I very highly recommend this kit for beginners and intermediate players or for keeping in the practice room so the drummer doesn't have to lug his kit every night.

Great Set

I'm really impressed by the quality of this set, and my daughter loves playing it. There is nothing about this set that feels cheap - all of the hardware is substantial, and the finish on the wooden bits is top notch.
