Popular Drum Kit at a Bargain Price!

Upgraded shells, hardware, and more make this Pearl Export EXX 8-piece drum set an enhanced version of one of the most popular and affordable drum kits around. Inspired by Pearl's Reference Series, this Export EXX kit's Superior Shell Technology (SST) uses a combination of strategically arranged plies of premium wood and proprietary construction techniques to offer you a durable shell that maximizes frequency response. And the Opti-Loc mounting system keeps your toms wobble free while reinforcing the resonance of the kit. Plus, the included 830-series hardware adds big bang for the buck with the Pearl Export EXX drum kit. All you need to do is add the cymbals!

Pearl Export EXX 8-piece Drum Kit Features at a Glance:
  • Superior Shell Technology
  • Opti-Loc mounting is stable and enhances your tone
  • Included Pearl 830-series hardware and P-930 pedals
Superior Shell Technology

The Pearl Export EXX 8-piece drum kit's poplar and Asian mahogany shells are constructed using Pearl's proprietary Superior Shell Technology. This construction method incorporates Pearl's trademarked AcoustiGlue that is boiled into the shells and pressed at over 1,000 lbs., making the shell act and resonate as a single ply. SST uses precision-cut scarf joints to join the seams of the shells, offering over 800% more contact area than standard butt joints. This technology makes these drums so durable that they come with a limited lifetime warranty from Pearl. And to make these shells sound even better, Pearl outfitted them with new lugs that minimize shell interaction for maximum resonance and sustain. That really impressed Sweetwater's picky drummers!

Opti-Loc mounting is stable and enhances your tone

Pearl Export EXX series' Opti-Loc mounting system features a triangular design with two tension rod attachment points that hold your toms firmly in place with no wobble. Pearl places rubber isolators at all of the connection points to allow the shells to vibrate freely for more sustain and resonance. The Opti-Loc mounting system keeps your toms right where you need them and sounding their best, whether you're practicing at home or recording drum tracks at a studio.

Included Pearl 830-series hardware and P-930 pedals

The high-quality 830-series hardware included in this Pearl Export EXX 8-piece drum kit is a sophisticated addition. Utilizing infinitely adjustable Uni-lock tilters, you have the ability to position your cymbals and snare drum precisely. The 1" base tubes and 0.87" center tubes with double-braced tripods are exceptionally sturdy. And the included P-930 bass drum pedals combine Pearl's Demon Drive pedal with their Eliminator interchangeable cam technology to dial in your power and control.

Pearl Export EXX 8-piece Drum Kit Features:
  • SST (Superior Shell Technology) construction for durability and tone
  • Hand-selected mahogany/poplar shells
  • Opti-Loc mounting system for wobble-free performance and improved resonance
  • 830-series hardware is easy to position and very stable
  • P-930 drum pedals combine 2 popular Pearl designs
Pearl improved on a legend with the Export EXX 8-piece drum set!

Best drum set for the money!

Since 1975, I have been playing a Ludwig Octa Plus drum kit, which is a Black Vistalite set with eight tom-toms and no bottom drum heads… I had to do all the work especially when you come around to the larger toms! Being almost 65, I was looking for a set that's much easier to play and a little smaller… This Pearl Export set in black is stunning, especially for the money! First of all, they were available right away, and the construction is phenomenal, especially for the money! I love the hardware and finally have the rebound I'm looking for with such good quality, I was totally surprised… They were shipped in two days and nothing was missing, making it a beautiful experience! Josh Sackett is my sweet water representative and he is excellent!
Rated 4.5/5

great sounding kit.

This is my second Pearl Export series drum set and overall I am very happy with them. the black looks great and these drums are very solid. I play very heavy and they are holding up well. if your in the market for a large kit, this is a great value.

I gave this 4.5 stars due to the lack of attention to packaging these from Pearl. Right away i noticed two large quality issues. 1 being one of the kick drums leg spikes was completely apart in pieces and i had to reassemble it. Not a big deal, but someone in quality at Pearl should have noticed this and corrected it before boxing them up.

2. the other quality issue was on one of the wraps of my 10 inch rack tom. It was not wrapped very tightly and the line is very visible around the shell. Again not a huge issue and it doesn't effect the sound that I can tell, but it is something I think Pearl should recognize. I know this is not a Masterworks kit, but those things should be addressed as this is still the most popular kit in their line up.

having said that, I would still buy these again as i do love the big sound and with all the added hardware this kit is easily a big hit.

I would also like to recommend anyone considering these to go ahead and buy after market heads as the stock Pearl Remo heads from the factory are not great quality. I was able to tune them fairly easily and play them right away. however they can dent pretty easily. I will be buying a set of Evans EC2's very soon.

All in all very happy with this kit from Pearl and I will remain a Pearl fan for life!

Pearl Double Bass kit in Jet Black

This kit is amazing, I am an amateur at best but I know a little. When I was a young man (yes I am old now) my buddy had a Pearl Double Bass setup playing in a metal band. I always admired Keith Moon's style and I decided to get back in to drumming for me and my kids. Salesman Brandon is awesome, helped me out. Big Thanks!!!!

Amazing customer service and delivery

This set is one of the best sounding sets with all the different types of birch, maple, etc. in the shells. Also Sweetwaters customer service is undefeated, my sales engineer Nick Beach was very kind and updated me on everything that was going on with my set. I appreciate the hardworking people at Sweetwater and can"t wait to order from you guys again.
