The Pearl Forum FZ725 Standard 5-Piece Drum Set is among the best-quality, entry-level drum kits in the world, and one of the best values too. Beside the drums and hardware, it comes with the stuff you normally have to buy separately: cymbals, drumsticks, and even a set-up video. All-poplar shells are made with the same heat-compression shell molding process as the pro line. With all the essentials included, it truly lives up to its nickname, Ready-Set-Go!Pearl Forum features shells made in the same molds and using the same Heat Compression Shell Molding Process as Pearl's professional series drums. All Forum shells feature Pearl's exclusive scarf joint (gapless seam) construction for uniform shell vibration, unimpeded by air pockets, for warmth and richness found only in more expensive drums. The 5-1/2" x 14" snare drum features a 100% poplar shell for unparalleled sonic performance in its class. Low-mass lugs offer optimum tonality and resonance while low-mass tom mounting brackets deliver big sound. Heavy-duty SP-70 spurs give stability and key-style tension rods allow precise tuning of bass drum.
