Pearl Roadshow Fusion 20 + Pack Solar Sabian Matte Red

Pearl batteries have always been a safe bet for beginners. The new Roadshow drums are no exception. Solid, well-finished and affordable, they're perfect for learning drums in the right conditions.

The same meticulous design.

For years, Pearl has been one of the leading manufacturers in the entry-level market, with products that are always well thought-out, offering the maximum for the minimum price. A case in point are the 6-ply poplar drums, 7 mm thick, with impeccable Rhodoïd in four colors. In this case, the new "Matte Red" combines rarity and elegance. As for the fittings, Pearl's reputation for solidity is as strong as ever, even in its entry-level range. Spikes, rods, shells and hoops are never lacking, just like the stamp release. Everything has been designed to last, even under the sticks of beginners who don't necessarily have the right gestures.

A very convincing sound.

When it comes to beginners, and especially children, parents are generally demanding solidity so as not to have to go to the after-sales service every four mornings. Drummers, whether young or more experienced, want to be able to start out with a real feel for the instrument. Drums that respond well, consistent diameters, a little depth for the bass drum, a 14 x 5.5 inch snare drum so you can tune and hit like the big boys... This is precisely what the Pearl Roadshow offers, a 20, 10, 12 and 14-inch configuration that's perfect for a teenager looking for versatility, or for a grown-up wanting to play fusion style.

Ready to play!

The great thing about this kit is that it's all you need to get started! Drums, double-base accessories and an extra boom stand (also considered to offer very good value in a competitive market), seat, Solar Sabian cymbals (14" hi-hats and a 16" crash to help you get your bearings), and even a bag with sticks... All included. In addition to the standard version, this kit comes with a B-50 boom stand and an extra ride, making it the perfect starter kit for drummers. So, honestly, at this price, you'd think today's youngsters would be so lucky!
