5-piece Kit with Shells, Cymbals, and Hardware
A full set of Pearl hardware and Zildjian cymbals make this Pearl Export EXX, an upgrade to one of the world's most popular drum sets, an unbeatable value. Inspired by Pearl's Reference Series, the Export EXX's shells bond lively poplar to warm Asian mahogany using SST (Superior Shell Technology) construction techniques for maximum durability and tonal response. This means stronger, longer-lasting shells and better sound across the spectrum. The included Opti-Loc mounting system keeps high toms stable while reinforcing resonance. And thanks to the included 830-series hardware pack and Planet Z cymbals, you're ready to set up and play out* the day your Pearl Export EXX drum set arrives.

Superior Shell Technology
The Pearl Export EXX's poplar/Asian mahogany shells are build using Pearl's proprietary Superior Shell Technology (SST). This construction method incorporates Pearl's trademarked Acoustiglue that is boiled into the shells and pressed at over 1,000 lbs. of hydraulic pressure, making the shell act and resonate as a single ply. SST uses precision-cut scarf joints to join the seams of the shells, offering over 800% more contact area than standard butt joints. This technology makes these drums so durable that they come with a limited-lifetime warranty from Pearl.
Stability and sustain
The Pearl Export EXX series' Opti-Loc mounting system features a triangular design with two tension rod attachment points that hold your toms firmly in place with no wobble. Pearl places rubber isolators at all the connection points to allow the shells to vibrate freely for more sustain and resonance. The Opti-Loc mounting system keeps your toms right where you need them and sounding their best, whether you're practicing at home or recording drum tracks at a studio.
Zildjian Planet Z Cymbal set
Planet Z cymbals carry on the Zildjian tradition of intelligent metallurgy that produces superior tonality within all Zildjian cymbal price ranges. The nickel-silver alloy used to make Planet Z cymbals is a proprietary formula that will ring true with Sweetwater customers who are ready to join the Zildjian family. The 20" Planet Z ride provides clean stick definition with focused foundational tones, and the 16" crash responds with a pronounced punch that is lively, versatile, and will cut through to accent the beat when you need it most. The 13" Planet Z hi-hats give back a crisp report that won't get lost in the mix.
Pearl 830-series hardware with Demonator pedal
The sophisticated Pearl HWP-830 hardware pack includes nearly all you need to set up and drum: two cymbals stands, hi-hat and snare stands, and even a pedal — just add a throne and you're good to go. Double-braced legs keep stands stable as you perform, and Uni-Lock tilters give you infinite positioning flexibility. Noteworthy at this price point are the P-830 Demonator's longboard footboard and adjustable beater angle, which provide enough flexibility for players of all stripes.
