A Quality Starter Kit with Hardware and Cymbals

The Pearl Roadshow makes a solid foundation for the budding drummer and a mighty club kit for the weekend warrior. It's a great-sounding set of drums on its own — its 6-ply poplar shells with modern 45-degree bearing edges deliver a modern, lively attack that's inspiring behind the kit and easy to capture with a mic. This complete 5-piece kit includes drums, cymbals, hardware — even sticks and a stick bag — so players can get up and drumming right away. Quality meets value in the Pearl Roadshow series from Sweetwater.

Full outfit of Pearl hardware

Pearl is as known for its durable hardware as it is for its top-quality drums. And with your Pearl Roadshow, you get a full outfit of hardware to get you up and drumming. This set includes a cymbal stand that's strong enough for a crash or ride, double-braced hi-hat and snare stands, a smooth-playing kick pedal, and a comfortable throne.

Matching snare drum makes a statement onstage

A matching snare says a lot about your kit. The Pearl Roadshow includes a perfectly paired snare drum, matched in both construction and finish, for a seamless look and tonal integration. This snare's sound is suited for a variety of different styles, from jazz to pop.

Cymbals included

Adding value to the already value-packed Roadshow kit is a set of Pearl cymbals — 14-inch hi-hats and a 16-inch crash/ride — so new drummers can get on their feet straight away.

Reviews

Great New Practice Kit - For beginners and those who just want to play drums!
After many years of playing my original kit which morphed into a frankenstein kit, I decided to go with sweetwater deal on this Pear Roadshow kit. I always get everything in red and decided to go with this Aqua blue glitter kit and was not disappointed. I love it and it was great coming out of the box. You can't beat a deal where everything is included. I put my own cymbals on and used my own seat and added a bass drum light, but if you just want to get playing the cymbals that come with it aren't bad but you will defintely need to upgrade at some point. All in all I give it 5 stars because I am having such fun and the shipping and customer service is always fast, reliable and top notch!
Great guidance and advice from James!
Needed a drum set for an not for profit that I work with. James helped guide me through every step of the process!

Thank You!

Great set
I'm not an expert in drums but this set has everything we need to start our journey with the drums. It seems to be very well built and was relatively easy to put together. There are videos online that you can follow step by step. After the tuning it sounds great, probably not the best sound you can get out of this set but that is something we will be adjusting with time.
As always Sweetwater service is great!

I knew I was buying this drum kit
I bought this kit based on the all the positive reviews. I just finished setting it up and haven't had a chance to really play it yet so I won't throw my two cents on a kit review. From just assembling it, I can tell it's a well built for this price point. I got the aqua blue glitter finish. The hue of blue glitter morphs different lighting but does not disappoint. As you can see from my photos it can look more like silver or charcoal than blue.
My only question was who I was going to purchase the kit from. I bought a Les Paul in 2019 and a Stratocaster in 2020 both from Sweetwater. They always seem to have the right instrument in the right color at the right price and provide a worry free seamless experience. Once again in 2022 Sweetwater had exactly what I was looking for and provided me with another worry free buying experience. My sales engineer, Ryan has been great. It's okay to compare the offerings of the other guys, but if your ready to buy, buy it from Sweetwater.
