Essential Information About the Pearl Roadshow RSS505BC/C Drum Set

  • Complete Ready-to-Play Kit: shells, cymbals, hardware, pedal, throne, sticks, and bag included.
  • 6-Ply Poplar Shells (~7 mm) with 45-degree bearing edges for easy tuning and consistent response.
  • Compact and Ergonomic Design: punchy 20" bass drum, ideal for home, lessons, and rehearsals.
  • Double-Braced Hardware for lasting stability and an upgradable platform.

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

The Roadshow series represents Pearl's iconic entry-level line, designed to offer beginners a reliable, coherent, and accessible kit without sacrificing the brand's DNA. It incorporates Pearl's proven formulas for durability, refined finishes, and ergonomics to provide a competitive "turnkey" drum set in the beginner equipment segment.

Who This Drum Set Is For

The Roadshow RSS505BC/C is aimed at beginner to intermediate drummers seeking a balanced 5-piece acoustic drum set for learning, rehearsing, and recording demos. Its versatile configuration is especially suited for rock, pop, funk, and variety styles, with a compact footprint that makes setup easy in a living room, bedroom, or teaching studio.

Features and Innovations

The 6-ply poplar shells (~7 mm) provide a solid and responsive foundation, while the 45-degree bearing edges stabilize the drumheads for precise tuning. The double-braced hardware, reliable mounts, and included bass drum pedal ensure excellent durability. The pack includes a 14" hi-hat, 16" crash/ride, adjustable throne, sticks, and a bag, allowing immediate play and future upgrades by swapping heads, cymbals, or pedals as needed. The glossy finishes add a lasting aesthetic touch.

Sound Characteristics

Poplar emphasizes warm mids, rounded lows, and an easy-to-trigger attack. The 20" x 16" bass drum delivers a harmonious and controlled low end, perfect for presence without excessive volume. The 10"/12"/14" toms offer clear punch and moderate sustain that keeps the mix clean during rehearsals. The 14" x 5.5" snare provides definition and a sharp "crack," ideal for pop/rock as well as funk grooves. The set offers controlled projection and consistent response across the tuning range.
