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.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


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.
