Beautifully Simple, Deceptively Powerful

Pearl’s Compact Traveler drum kit is excellent for anyone who is worried about space. Designed for use in schools, street music, and small stages, this kit is the size of an electronic kit while packing the punch of an acoustic kit. Seriously, the product testers at Sweetwater were surprised to learn that this kit folds down to 5" in thickness for easy storage. But don’t let the size fool you, these heads pump out surprising volume for such slim drums. The bass drum has deep and round tone while the snare has a snappy sound that will amaze you. The Pearl Compact Traveler 2-piece Drum Kit is perfect for all of your space-challenged drumming needs.

Carrying handle for easy transport

The Compact Traveler kit has an advantage over every other acoustic kit; portability. When you’re setting up this kit, you'll notice that it has a foam attachment on the snare arm that allows you to pick up the whole kit and carry it around with one hand. When you’re done playing, you can still use the handle when the drums are folded together. You can even slide them under your bed. Imagine trying to do that with a standard kit — you can’t.

Snappy snare and powerful bass

For anyone that just needs a snare, bass drum, and a couple of cymbals, this kit is perfect for you. The slim snare drum is snappy, responsive, and mounted on a 3/8" post. The bass drum is strong and feels incredible underfoot. The Pearl Compact Traveler kit pumps out the volume without all the bulk of any other kit. Both the snare and bass drum will accept standard drum heads so you don't have to worry about buying special, hard-to-find heads when it's time for new ones.

Pearl Compact Traveler 2-piece Drum Kit Features:

  • Acoustic drum kit with 10" snare drum and 18" bass drum
  • Tunable heads let you choose your sound
  • Black hardware matches the black hoops
  • Folds to only 5" in depth for simple storage
  • Small footprint is perfect for schools, buskers, and students
  • Carrying handle makes it easy to move your entire kit at once

Awesome compact travel kit
I'm a suitcase drummer . Meaning I've created a bass drum from a suitcase and sounds sooo cool but the durability I'm nervous won't hold for too many shows. This sounds pretty great for what our band needs being a little foursome "cocktail" type venues. Easy to set up and easy to transport. Very small footprint. Love it!
Yesss
I know how to tune drums. Holy moly. Wow, blah... just wow! Simply, amazing and awesome drum kit. Very happy customer!
Music background: Drummer 34 years
Love it!!
I have had this kit for five years now, and I travel some with my Duo performing all different types of places. It's easy to pack up and put back together, but most of all it sounds great! I just use a mic on the bass drum and it kicks butt! I get so many compliments from other musicians and even drummers in the audience. Most people think it's electronic because of how good it sounds. My only complaint is that the snare drum does not have a lever to switch the snare on or off.
Music background: A professional drummer for 33 years.
On of the best practice travel pads; and the Kick can hold its on on a national stage.
I love how compact and effortless it is to use this setup. The Anchor on the back holds well enough on carpet and
the kick sounds great when it is mic'd up!

The snare drum is completely lacking in my opinion, but that makes sense because a good snare starts at about the
price of this entire kit. I just throw a Pearl M80 and it sounds like the real thing at a gig!
Also have toms
I use in small venues and have received lots of compliments on the sound but I did change out the snare. It never sounded good but I bought a 10x4 Pearl snare to use with this. I use full size kit for bigger venues.
