Roadshow Take that Step
Pearl Corporation
Product Description
Pearl, the world's largest drum manufacturer, proudly presents new Roadshow Series.
THE RHYTHM IS IN YOU! The right gear is essential for setting it free. No toys or hand-me-downs; a new, complete drum set package with everything you need to start your rhythmic journey to the big time.
Pearl Roadshow drums are built with 9 ply 7mm Poplar shells and 1.2mm triple flanged hoops. Comes with heads and double braced hardware. Each set includes maple drumsticks and professional stick bag.
Here are some things to look for when buying your first drum kit; see for yourself how Roadshow stacks up:
Hardware
Cymbal, hi-hat, and snare drum stands should start with a strong and well-balanced tripod base. Double-braced legs and interlocking tilter adjustments are also vital for keeping all parts of the kit in place under the pressure of performance. ROADSHOW’s included hardware package is second-to-none in its class. All stands are dual-reinforced, height and angle adjustable, and feature double-braced legs to withstand the pounding onslaught of the heavy-hitting drummer.
Snare Drum
The Snare Drum is the voice of the drum set and captures everything from the loudest accents to the softest “ghost” notes. With a matching shell and finish, the ROADSHOW snare is full of attack and power, yet sensitive enough for drumming at any volume.
Bass Drum
The bass drum is the tonal heartbeat of the drum set and should not only set the low-end pulse for the groove, but be a foundation for the rest of the complete drum set-up. The ROADSHOW kick drum features an extended tension/tuning range for low, chest-thumping bass frequencies, and includes locking, slip-free feet (or ‘spurs’), and secure mounting for toms and accessories.
Cymbals
ROADSHOW’s included cymbal set features a 16” brass crash/ ride and a set of 14” brass/hybrid hats. Perfect for accents and timekeeping until an upgraded multi-cymbal set-up is acquired.
From the manufacturer
The Journey to Drumming Greatness Begins with Roadshow
Pearl's Roadshow Series comes complete with Cymbals and Hardware to get you ready to play, the right way.
Roadshow includes everything you need to start you on your journey to the big time.

The kit comes complete: drums, stands, cymbals, pedals, even sticks. And it's packed in an AMAZINGLY small box. Some comments on the components:
You can make cheap drums sound really good if the shells are solid and the edges are flat and smooth, good angle (for contact with the heads). Pearl has solid, high-quality shells. They're poplar, not maple or birch or mahogany, but the wood type matters less wrt sound than good construction and heads. The hoops and clamps are nicely chromed and solid.
One big upgrade for any low-end kit is the heads. The included ones look ok, but I replaced the tom and snare heads with Remo and Evans heads, keeping the bottom reso heads and the ones on the bass drum. I haven't tuned them yet, but the sound is pretty solid on all drums, good bass, tight snare that needs a bit of damping.
Hardware is double-braced and solid. I really like the bass pedal, even though I have others And the hi-hat stand is responsive. The cymbal boom where a 2nd tom would be is a nice touch. I added a 2nd boom with a crash that is clamped to the tom mount, nice and compact. There are lock collars on the tom/cymbal mounts to make teardown/setup easy on the go.
The drum sizes are great for a portable kit with great sound. the 18" shallow bass has good punch but is much smaller than a typical deeper 22" one. The 10" tom and 14" floor tom give a good sound range, and the 13" thin snare has good impact when tuned (using a moongel on it, Evans reverse dot head). Always tune the drums properly and the sound will be great on these. And they're much easier to transport than my full-sized kits.
OK, the #2 big upgrade for low-end kits is the cymbals. The included brass ones are, well, usable. But you generally need bronze cymbals for good sound (B8 alloy or the higher-end B20, for example). I'm using a mix of Wuhan, Sabian, Zildjian cymbals. You might get lucky with a good-sounding brass cymbal, but go bronze (buy used, to save $$$).
The throne is a bit small and not super sturdy, but it's surprising they even included one. I'm using one I already had.
I didn't comment on the looks because that's secondary for me, but it is a nice-looking kit. I have the gloss black, nice defect free finish on the shells, and the chromed hardware is shiny
Overall, you can't get a good-sounding quality compact kit for anywhere near this price. Upgrading the top (batter) drum heads and getting good cymbals makes this a nice-sounding kit at a budget price.

I made some research before buying the Roadshow. Most drummers would recommend buying used to get your moneys worth, but when you dont know much about drums from the get go it feels less intimidating to simply buy brand new. This set is everything I hoped for. If you are an experience drummer you will definitely notice multiple flaws with this set, especially the cymbals. But for all the newbies (or casual but long-term drummers) this drum is enough to learn the fundamentals, and definitely enough to jam with friend or play at small events.
The unboxing took me as long as the actual installation. In total, it took me about 2.5 hours (from the box to the final installation) to install.
The trickiest part is the tuning of the heads. I recommend using a free application from your phone to listen to the frequency and match it to your liking.
The crash and hats cymbals are definitely the cheapest part of the set, which was the main negative comments from other reviewers online. But they ended up being better than I expected. It will be the 1st thing I upgrade on my set.
In conclusion, this drum set is amazing and I strongly recommend it. Pearl is a trusted reputable brand and it definitely shows. Shame that it is Made in China, but its impossible to find things not made in China nowadays, unless you're rich.
