For both beginners and intermediate drummers wanting to
upgrade, choosing the right drum kit is important. With Tama drums or Pearl
kits, not only will you be able to fully customise your drums individually with
a wider range of options available, you will also be able to upgrade each
individual part as you further progress your drumming level.
Pearl drum kits have become synonymous with high quality
percussion drums for the past 60 years. The brand and has found its way to
become one of the biggest drum company in the world. This Japanese company has
pioneered many innovations in the industry such as wood and fiberglass shells,
as well as the introduction of “Phenolic” shells combined with roto-toms to
create vari-pitch drums. Pearl continues to invent and innovate today.
Pearl Kits, steeped in history
Pearl drums have a long illustrious line of kits to choose
from, such as beginner kits through to professional stage percussion
instruments. In between these we have a range of shells, skins, cases, stands
and pedals for any drummer to create their own kit.
As with any professional level musical instruments, your
budget will come in handy in giving you an idea of what you can afford.
Creating your own pro Pearl drum kit may come in handy as buying the base level
five-piece and later upgrading your heads and pedals make more economic sense.
The Export EXX Range
The Export EXX range of Pearl drum kits is an excellent
place to start if you are looking to build your first pro kit. This is the
number 1 selling drum kit in the world and benefits from all of the features
you have come to know and love from Pearl. Featuring uni-lock booms, REMO
coated heads, as well as premium poplar and rich Asian mahogany shells to finish
the look.

if you wish. The Export EXX range of Pearl drums give you the options you need
to further your drumming technique, as well as honing your tone to perfection.
It’s no surprise so many professional drummers are using these kits.
Tama drums
Tama is another famous name in the world of drumming, thanks
