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.

Pearl Roadshow RS525SC 5-piece Complete Drum Set Features:

  • 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
  • Hardware: cymbal stand, hi-hat stand, snare stand, two rack tom holders, and kick pedal
  • Cymbals: 16-inch crash/ride and 14-inch hi-hats
  • Accessories: maple drumsticks (2 pair), stick bag, Pearl drum poster, and drum throne

First drum kit

This kit is an excellent value for the money. Ive been playing bass for more than 25 years and guitar for over 20. I wanted an entry level kit to have something else to do. This kit is beautiful and sounds great after tuning it properly. The cymbals and heads will need an upgrade but they are perfect for getting used to it.
Music background: Bass and guitar for 25 years or so

High Quality and Great Price

I'm a guitarist first and foremost, but I've always played any drum kit available. Owning my own kit has always been something I have had on my wishlist.
These drums sound great. Easy setup with plenty of support videos online from Pearl's website. Everything is tight and right. Solid construction.
The hardware and stands are also high quality.
The only issues are- the provided cymbals are junk and the throne is like sitting on a brick. But I figured both would be bad before even ordering the kit.
Overall I am completely satisfied with the Pearl Roadshow. One of the best purchases I've ever made.
Rated 5/5

Great quality kit for getting started

Great kit, easy to assemble and everything you need to get started or as an upgrade for an older kit. Finish is nice, the cymbals aren't as bad as some lead you to believe ( they may have changed these as they were pearl branded not unmarked) and the overall sound is great for a kit in this price range. My son is at the School of Rock and they use a 4 piece version of it for their shows. Heads probably aren't the greatest but definitely enough to get you going until you figure out what upgrades suit your style of play. Most anything I could nit pick on about the kit is to be expected for under a grand. Throne maybe not the greatest but it's included in the kit and is an easy upgrade. Overall this has been a great purchase and I would recommend them to people I know. Sounds better than the kit my friend uses in his studio right out of the box with no upgrades.
Music background: Novice, but with many friends that have been in the music industry for decades.
