Pearl has always been one of the manufacturers who rule the entry level, with very well studied products, with the aim of offering the maximum at a minimum price. This is evidenced by the 6-ply poplar barrels with a thickness of 7mm, with an impeccable rhodoïd, proposed in three colours for the Roadshow. The "red wine" colour combines the sobriety and timeless elegance of shiny black and the Pearl fittings are a real highlight. All of this is supported by a reputation for solidity that is also valid for the entry-level range. Spikes, rods, shells and hoops are not missing, as well as the stamp release. Everything has been designed to last, even under the sticks of beginners who don't always get it right.
A very convincing sound.
For their little ones, parents are generally looking for solidity, so that they don't have to go to the service department every morning. As for the drummers, young or more experienced, they want to be able to start having fun, if possible with a big sound. Drums that respond well, consistent diameters, a bit of depth for the bass drum, a 14 x 5.5 inch snare drum so you can tune and hit like the big guys do... This is exactly what the Roadshow offers, in particular this 18, 10, 12 and 14 inch configuration, intended for teenagers anxious to reproduce as quickly and as well as possible, the very pop rock patterns of their idols.
All ready to play!
The really nice thing about this kit is that nothing is missing to start having fun! The drums, the double base accessories (also considered as offering a very good quality/price ratio in a competitive market), the seat, the Solar Sabian cymbals (hi-hats and a crash which will allow you to get your first bearings), and even the bag with the sticks... Everything is provided. So honestly, at that price, we think that today's youngsters are definitely very lucky!
