Pearl
Description
Like a legendary group or solo act whose mystique only grew during inactivity, the Export Series from Pearl is back and ready to help you take your act on the road. Unlike that aged group or musician, Pearl Export double bass 8-piece drum set has only improved with age. Offering new hardware features, SST shell construction and suspended mounts, these Export drums are better than you remember them. The 6-ply poplar and mahogany shells churn out balanced attack and full tone, while the high-end hardware will make your trip down memory lane a pleasant one.

Pearl's updated Export Series offers a sonically advanced recipe of strategically arranged plies of premium wood to maximize frequency response of every component. As with all Pearl drums, each shell is formed from our legendary SST construction process that uses extreme heat, Precision-cut scarf joints, proprietary Acoustiglue and over 1,000 lb. of hydraulic pressure to create the ultimate acoustic air chamber.

Further emphasizing Pearl's "sound first" philosophy are the new lugs specifically designed for Export with sound-enhancement in mind. Designed for minimal shell interaction, they have a small footprint and low mass for maximum resonance and sustain. Their bold look is modern but with a nod to lugs from Pearl's past.

Export rack toms are equipped with Pearl's new Opti-Loc Mounting System that features a triangular design with two tension rod attachment points and another through one of the drum's two air vents. Rubber isolators at all connection points allow the drums to vibrate freely for maximum sustain and resonance while providing absolute and wobble-free performance.

This Export double-bass kit comes with an all-inclusive hardware pack with three BC830 boom stands, two P930 kick pedals, a H830 hi-hat stand, S830 snare stand, C830 cymbal stand, TH701 tom holder, HA130 hi-hat attachment and more. Cymbals are sold separately.

Why attack older musicians to make a point?

If you play many gigs. Which you will, if you are any good, and are "aged", You'll discover that taking your best kit on the road is folly. Most towns in the middle of nowhere wont have the specialized replacement parts that seem to come up missing at the wrong time. Everybody that has.drums to sell, has some version of Pearl on the floor. They seem to hold up pretty good and don't cost all that much. Price shop/you'll see! Work with the kit, it will teach you something about drums, and you might actually develop your own sound.

    After not playing drums for about 10 yrs. I had the need to play again but not necessarily with a band or a group but mainly for myself. So I shopped for something that would look and sound descent but not to pricey. Then I found the 8pc. White Pearl Export series that I really liked and especially for the price. My only complaint is the tuning of the rack tom's and keeping them tuned. The support brackets that attach around two lugs of each rack tom and the weight of the toms prevent the drums from staying in tuned from the changing of the tension on the heads. Although I am planning on purchasing a bigger, better and more expensive set of drums I still highly recommend the Export kits for beginners and seasoned players. Well worth the price and more!

    The drumsticks bounce off the drums very well. With this, you can play much faster and much easier. It is a reliable drum set with many different options to play.

  • Excellent!! Worth the 6 month wait.
