Pearl Roadshow Drum Set 5-Piece Complete Kit with Cymbals and Stands, Red Wine (RS505C/C91)

I went with the jazz kit with ideas in mind. I'm an amputee and play with one hand, so I added my main snare and use the provided snare at a sharp angle (approaching vertical) and offset to my main snare so I can get an extra glancing hit off the head. I'm planning on adding a 24" kick so I have double pedal options, but choking up on the beater and playing the smaller kick more like bebop for added color. The cymbals are nothing special but fine just to have. The kick pedal is surprisingly decent with some adjustment to dial it in. I would recommend tuning to the lowest possible tension (make it flat, bring it (the wrinkle) back; a fast improvement right out of the box. All in all this is a great value. Great compact size. Everything is comfortable once set up. A lot of functionality if you're interested in being creative. Solid buy. Would recommend.

This is my second Pearl Road Show 5 Piece Drum Set I purchased online, last one in 2016. Every single item, all hardware including tension rods, drum shells, batter and resonant heads, stands, every single piece was in the contents of two delivered boxes to assemble the complete drum kit. The drum shells came with the burnt orange color, the color was not quite the orange I anticipated; it seemed a little more of a dark shade of red than orange, but that was OK. This may have been due to the photography shown online. The drum shells arrived in perfect condition not damaged or cracked, the machined edges were very well finished. I swopped some of the delivered packaged items such as some of the cymbal stands, the stock Pearl cymbals and throne with upgrades I purchased in the past. The kit included some extras like a very nice-looking Pearl drum stick bag, pair of drum sticks, a Pearl Drum set Poster that I mounted on the wall and a drum tuning key. I am using the stock Pearl drumheads, they seem OK for now but will upgrade them later in the year. The drums have a very nice tone once they are tuned to liking, the kit is a ton of fun to play and I would recommend any beginner or a drummer needing to gig on to purchase this drum set. I am very happy with this purchase and it was a very fair price.

You get a lot for your money here. The drums, hardware, cymbals, sticks, stick bag, drum key, posters. Now for the quality.... The wrap on my bass drum shell came loose in one corner. I managed to press it back into round but it definitely worries me for future head changes. Will update if I run into any issues. With that out if the way, I can't complain about anything else. The bass pedal, hihat stand, and snare stand are impressive for this price point and being packaged with a beginner kit. Tom arm and cymbal arm are ok, they get the job done. Hihat cymbals are nice, not too loud and you make them pretty crispy. Crash cymbal is not as good as hihats, but still easy on volume which is great if that's a concern for you. The throne is on the smaller side, good for children, pre-teens. Keep that in mind if you're buying for someone bigger. I had no issues with shells or hoops on the drums themselves, everything tuned up nicely, even with the stock pearl heads. Volume is somewhat controlled, due to the smaller sizes, making it good for home jamming. Sound quality is what you expect from poplar at this price point, but it does have good tone, and if you know how to tune, these little drums can sound GREAT. Just throw some O-rings on these tubs, and they sound like a pre-EQ'd studio recording. Pearl has setup videos on their website that cover initial assembly, tuning, and even playing for these kits. You can tell they're trying hard to make this line accessible for newcomers, and anyone really. All in all, for the money you're spending you get decent quality, and being able to play right out of the box is a HUGE plus if you're a young newcomer who doesn't have the time,money, or stamina to be rodeo-ing with these drum companies, looking for good, dependable hardware that won't break the bank. If you're a parent looking to get beginner drums for your kid, or even an adult who just wants a small practice kit to groove on, this kit is a solid choice.

Amazing drum kit for the cost! Wanted to give it five stars, but I have to be honest and drop it a hair due to the thinness and lack of durability of the 16 inch crash cymbal that came with the kit. Replaced with two 18 inch crash cymbals from Meinl and replaced all drum heads with Evan’s UV-2 coated snare and tom heads. Now the kit is a 10 Star kit!

Instructions provided are not clear enough and labeled. Wouldn’t recommend using for beginners.

What a great set

I've had an electric drum for the longest time, decided to buy the real thing. Very satisfied with my purchased: I made some research before buying the Roadshow. Most drummers would recommend buying used to get your moneys worth, but when you dont know much about drums from the get go it feels less intimidating to simply buy brand new. This set is everything I hoped for. If you are an experience drummer you will definitely notice multiple flaws with this set, especially the cymbals. But for all the newbies (or casual but long-term drummers) this drum is enough to learn the fundamentals, and definitely enough to jam with friend or play at small events. The unboxing took me as long as the actual installation. In total, it took me about 2.5 hours (from the box to the final installation) to install. The trickiest part is the tuning of the heads. I recommend using a free application from your phone to listen to the frequency and match it to your liking. The crash and hats cymbals are definitely the cheapest part of the set, which was the main negative comments from other reviewers online. But they ended up being better than I expected. It will be the 1st thing I upgrade on my set. In conclusion, this drum set is amazing and I strongly recommend it. Pearl is a trusted reputable brand and it definitely shows. Shame that it is Made in China, but its impossible to find things not made in China nowadays, unless you're rich.
