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.

- 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

Pearl road show 5 peace set
Great Drum Set!
Great starter kit at a reasonable price!
Pearl Roadshow 5-Piece Kit -22
Considering the above I wanted to just pick up an all in one kit from a well-known manufacturer. My previous kit was from Ludwig but I wanted something different. Sweetwater had this Pearl kit for... a great price.
Like any "all-in-one" kit, these are geared for beginners or perhaps people like me who do not want to spend a lot because they are not going to be played out or routinely with others. Of course, like many people who buy these all-in-one kits changes are usually made quickly in several areas.
I was pleased with the quality of the drums themselves for the money spent. I did change to Evans G2 coated heads to warm things up a bit but that's just a personal preference. The cymbals that came with the kit were better actually than I expected. However, I did swap them out for some very reasonably priced Meinl cymbals and again, that's just looking for a different tone than I was getting from the included cymbals. The throne that comes with the kit is not too bad but might be more comfortable for a smaller person. (I'm 6'2" and about 210 lbs.) I already had a nice beefy throne from DW and if you're a larger person you may want to consider an upgrade here. In the photos, you also see "Evans Drumhead Mute" covers for your snare and toms. They really cut the toms drastically-the snare not as much unless you double on the snare. Sure, it does suppress the rebound somewhat but it's great for practicing rudiments when someone else is home.
Overall, the Pearl Roadshow is a really good buy. I have no regrets choosing this kit at this price point. The hardware and the finish are better than I expected. At this low cost, this is great buy and Sweetwater is a great place to buy from.
