Pearl Roadshow 5 Piece Drum Set Review

Having tested out a wide range of drum sets over the years, I can confidently say that the Pearl Roadshow 5 piece drum set is one of the best sets on the market. With its solid construction, quality components, and great sound, this drum set is perfect for beginner drummers who are looking for an affordable and reliable kit.

The Pearl Roadshow 5 piece drum set is constructed with 6 ply 7mm Poplar hardwood shells and triple flanged steel hoops. This ensures that each shell produces a single air resonance chamber when you hit the head and makes tuning much easier. Additionally, each stand is height adjustable with die cast tier joints and tilters that lock at any angle which makes it easy to adjust to your desired playing position.

The Roadshow comes complete with everything you need to start playing right away drums, hardware, cymbals, a throne, sticks, and even a stick bag. The set includes 22x16 bass drums, 14x5.5 snares, 10x8 12x9 rack toms, 16x16 floor tom, cymbal stand, hi hat stand, snare stand, two rack tom holders, kick pedal and a 16 crash/ride cymbal as well as 14 hi hats. All of these components are designed to work together in order to produce a full bodied sound with plenty of clarity and projection.

In terms of sound quality the Pearl Roadshow 5 piece drum set really shines. The Poplar shells provide plenty of warmth and depth while still maintaining a bright attack that cuts through any mix. The cymbals have a bright shimmering tone that adds some sparkle to your beats while still being able to handle heavier grooves without sounding too harsh or overly distorted. Additionally, the low end from the kick drum is thick and punchy while still maintaining some level of articulation so you can easily hear all of your notes without them getting muddy or lost in the mix.

Overall I highly recommend the Pearl Roadshow 5 piece drum set for beginner drummers who want an affordable but reliable instrument that will last them for years to come. It s easy to assemble and provides an excellent sound quality at an unbeatable price point. Whether you re just starting out or are looking for a new kit to practice on this is definitely one you should consider adding to your arsenal!
