Every drummer remembers their first real kit—and the Pearl Export 5-piece shell pack with 20" bass drum and hardware is built to be that turning point. Pearl's Export line has shaped drumming history for decades, and this kit builds on that legacy with thoughtful upgrades in sound and hardware. The 20x16" bass drum gives punch that stands out in any setting, while the 10x7" and 12x8" toms offer clear attack and smooth sustain. The 14x14" floor tom and 14x5.5" snare round out the set, delivering a full spectrum of tones. With the included 830 Series hardware, this drum kit supports everything from focused practice to energetic rehearsals. The Reference-inspired shell design, Remo drumheads and hardware package make this kit a practical choice for drummers who want consistent performance and reliability in one setup.
Pearl Reference-Inspired Shells Shape Export Drum Tone
Good tone starts in the shell—and this one speaks with warmth and clarity right out of the box. The Export's 7.5 mm shells use a blend of poplar and Asian mahogany, engineered for a balanced tone with warm overtones and clear projection. This shell composition mirrors Pearl's higher-end Reference Series, bringing upgraded sound to a more accessible level. The design enhances low-end punch in the bass drum and smooths out overtones in the toms and snare, so each drum delivers musical response. This means drummers experience a clear, resonant sound that holds up in both solo and group settings.
Pearl Opti-Loc Suspension System Improves Stability
Every fill should feel solid—and Pearl's Opti-Loc system helps you get there. This suspension system secures each tom at two tension rods and one air vent, supporting the drum while letting it resonate freely. This setup reduces unwanted movement and preserves sustain without choking the shell. The Opti-Loc design keeps toms stable during energetic fills and transitions, which means players can focus on their technique without distractions from shifting hardware or wobbling drums.
Pearl 830 Series Hardware Delivers Road-Tested Reliability
Whether you're setting up at home or heading to a session, this hardware is made to hold steady. The Export kit includes the 830 Series hardware pack, featuring double-braced stands for cymbals, snare and hi-hat, plus the P930 pedal. Each stand adjusts smoothly and locks securely, providing dependable support for all playing styles. The hardware's compact footprint works well in smaller spaces and packs down easily for transport. This efficient setup speeds up load-in and breakdown, making the kit ready for rehearsal spaces or home studios.
Durable Shell Pack With Long-Term Performance in Mind
A kit you can count on makes all the difference—and Pearl built this one to last. Their attention to construction detail appears in the shell seams, wrap finish and rugged hardware. High-quality materials resist warping and dents, so the set stays looking and sounding good through regular use. The sturdy shell pack and hardware withstand frequent assembly and breakdown, while the included Remo drumheads last through intense practice sessions. This kind of durability gives drummers a reliable platform for long-term growth and performance.
