5-piece Junior Drum Kit with Cymbals and Hardware

Born out of Roadshow's white poplar shell construction and specially configured to smaller players and their tastes, the Roadshow Jr. is a quality all-in-one drum kit that kids and creatives of all ages will love spending time behind. Roadshow Jr.'s responsive 6-ply shells with hand-cut 45° bearing edges strike the perfect balance of head and shell response for the power and sustain to drive an ensemble. Pro-grade shell hardware, including adjustable spurs and gear-style tom holders, and your choice of two deluxe wrapped finishes crown each shell. Mini cymbals and a real-deal, reduced-scale hardware package — perfect for shorter arms and legs — complete the set.

6-ply poplar shells

Like the Roadshow Standard, the Pearl Roadshow Jr. is built entirely out of white poplar — a tonewood regarded for its light weight, crisp attack, and balanced response up and down the kit. Shells feature 45° hand-cut bearing edges and dual-point cast tuning lugs for a satisfying response at any tuning range.

Fully adjustable, reduced-size hardware

The Roadshow Jr. comes with a complete set of fully adjustable drum hardware to provide a solid foundation for younger players:

  • Chain-drive bass pedal with adjustable tension springs and round felt beater
  • Tripod hi-hat stand with matching black foot plate
  • Snare stand with height and angle adjustments
  • Straight cymbal stand with geared tilter
  • Cushioned drum throne with non-slip rubber feet and locking height mechanism

Starter cymbals included

Your Pearl Roadshow Jr. from Sweetwater comes ready to rock with 10" Pearl hi-hats and a 13" Pearl crash.

Excellent For Children

This set is beautiful. It looks like a pro set except smaller. My two year old was beating on metal chairs with spoons. I asked if he wanted drums and he said yes. My 4 year old wanted some after he saw these so I ordered another one. The sticks are kid size so I think they help with tone and softer volume for the smaller bedroom. I suppose the cymbals and heads could be better but for two boys under 4 it is not bad. I will say both bass drum heads have a little dampening ring which controls overtones. I got a good punch out of that 16 inch drum. The snare and rack toms are already together. Just tighten the snare wires and the snare drum is basically okay. The rack toms come tuned very high like Neil Peart used to have some of his higher pitched drums. They don't sound terrible but you might want a lower tuning. This was easy to adjust. You back each top head tension rod down a couple of half turns. Leave the bottom head as is. Then you get that floor tom growl as close as you can to emulate a pitch that could work in Sing,Sing,Sing. Tune your bass heads to barely get the wrinkles out. Then just tweak tension for more or less sustain. I ended up with a thick boom with a hint of sustain. It seems like you have a good tuning range with these. I had to setup fast because the kids barely let me get it out of the box before they were trying to play it. It is definitely worth the money because it is a real set of drums that is not too big or too loud for them to use. The whole kit costs less than a professional snare drum.

Great Little Drumset

Bought this set for my granddaughters...have to get them started early! Set is quality construction and set up is straight forward- if you are a drummer and familiar with set up and teardown. If you have never put a set together, this comes in many pieces and could be somewhat daunting.
While hardware is decent, I have two complaints...the first is the locking collar for Tom stands at top of base snapped when I tried to tighten them. Second, there are no locking collars for toms themselves so they tend to move when my 2 year old grandkiddo tears into a Piert-like fill!
Plastic heads are more like bongo quality, so not enamored with the sound, but I slapped a remo pinstripe on one of the ride toms and got a pretty decent tone.
My favorite aspect of the kit is the kid size hi hat and crash. While these are not Zildjan, Sabian, or Paiste quality, they make noise, and unlike other similar cymbals, these actually maintain their shape despite serious pounding by gramps and lil drummers.
While there are a couple items that could use improvement, I am impressed with the overall quality and sound of this little kit.

Great little kit

I played some drums for a time, play a bit now. This is my first experience with a junior kit and I'm impressed. Pedals are surprisingly good, drums sound fair with the included heads (I'd think they can be brought up a fair amount with fancy heads, some tuning). Related hardware is budget kit level, but I've spend near as much on a high-hat stand as I did on this entire kit, so it's not a complaint at all. Size suits my 5 and 6 year old kids perfect. Very satisfied with the purchase and would definitely recommend. Picture is my kit with the kids kits (this one).
Music background: Some drumming in jazz, rock.

Best Jr drums

Quality of this drum set is amazing. Bought mute pads since I bought it for my 2 and half year old and he loves it .
Rated 5/5

Great Sound & Value

I was not expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised.

The kit sounds pretty good once tuned. The crash is like you would imagine, but the drums are resonant and even make me want to sit down and jam. Sturdy enough to take a beating from young kids as well. The hihat and kick pedal are great. Buy this kit for your kids.
