Pearl Roadshow RS525WFC 5-Piece Drum Set

Most 5-piece kits have 2 mounted toms and 1 floor tom - the point of difference with the RS525WFC is that it comes with 1 mounted tom and 2 floor toms - the smaller of the two floor toms has a greater diameter than most mounted 2nd toms so it allows for lower tones.

  • 14" x 6.5" snare
  • 12" x 9" rack tom
  • 14" x 14" floor tom
  • 16" x 16" floor tom
  • 22" x 16" bass drum
  • Cymbal stand w/ 16" Crash/Ride
  • Hi-hat stand w/ 14" Hi-hats
  • Throne
  • 2 pairs of Maple Drum Sticks
  • Pearl Stick Bag
  • Limited 2 Year Warranty

Specifications:

  • 9 Ply 7mm Shells made from Poplar on all drums
  • Double Braced Hardware
  • 1 Ply Coated Snare Drum Head
  • 1 Ply Clear Tom Drum Head
  • 1 Ply Clear Bass Drum Heads with Self-Muffling Rings

Pros

The positive customer reviews say this is a good drum set for the money. The quality of sound from the drums was consistently praised in positive reviews.

Cons

The cymbals got a bit of criticism in both positive and negative reviews with many saying that you'll probably want to change them as you get more experienced.

Overall

If you're looking for something slightly different in terms of tom sizes, and want to stick with a major drum brand, then this is for you.
