Part of Pearl's all-in-one kit lineage, the Roadshow series stands as a reliable entry point into the world of acoustic drums. It condenses the brand's expertise into an accessible kit designed to last and support both beginners and rapid progress. The RSS505BCC-747 occupies the core of this range, featuring a versatile format and refined finish.
Ideal for the demanding beginner as well as the adult returning to drumming, this compact setup facilitates positioning, ergonomics, and consistent playing. It excels in pop, rock, and variety styles, while remaining comfortable for tempo study, dynamic control, and daily practice at home, in music schools, or on small stages.
The 6-ply / 7 mm poplar shells offer an excellent balance between projection and control. The 45deg bearing edges ensure a clean drumhead seating, guaranteeing stable tuning and responsiveness. The die-cast hoops enhance attack and note sustain. The pack includes a responsive P-50 pedal, a comfortable D-50 throne, as well as a set of SOLAR by SABIAN cymbals for immediate play, plus a pair and a stick bag to carry the essentials.
Poplar delivers a warm tone in the low-mid range, with a clear attack and controlled sustain that facilitates recording and playing in small spaces. The 20" bass drum provides defined low end without boominess, while the 10"/12" toms respond with clarity and strong projection for fast fills. The 14" floor tom grounds the kit with natural body.
The 14" x 5.5" snare adds snap and precision to accentuate rimshots and ghost notes. The SOLAR by SABIAN set offers a responsive hi-hat, a direct crash, and a clear ride with moderate brightness, perfect for learning nuances and laying down clean grooves.
