Pearl Export Rock 22'' - 5 shells - graphite silver twist

Since 1982, when it was first produced, thousands of aspiring drummers around the world have cut their teeth on this Pearl Export kit! And the return of this complete Pearl kit—which was discontinued in 2007, much to the chagrin of budget-conscious musicians—is sure to delight drummers of all ages. This new edition is enhanced with the Demonator bass drum pedal and a Sabian PX cymbal pack. All that’s missing is the drummer—not included…

Brand-new suspension systems.

But the innovations don’t stop there, thanks to brand-new tom suspension systems that rival much more expensive setups. In fact, the OptiLoc system consists of high-performance rubber mounts that deliver maximum sustain and rich resonance in all situations. Not to mention that this mounting system adjusts in a flash to your usual playing position.

Poplar and mahogany.

When it comes to wood, Pearl has pulled off a remarkable feat here: it has banished the crate-wood shells found on some low-cost brands to the scrap heap in favor of a six-ply combination of poplar and mahogany—a winning combination, to say the least. This commitment to quality is evident across the various components, particularly the snare drum and cymbals, which feature the UniLock system—incredibly effective no matter which position you choose.

An attractive set.

And what about the bass drum pedal, the Demonator, which, on its own, justifies choosing an Export drum set? A pedal that combines intelligent adjustments with ease of use and all the comfort you could want. Attractive technical features that are sure to win you over once you try it out at your local music store. Because the sound is truly there—warm, precise, and, of course, powerful.

Both elegant and sturdy.

Connoisseurs know that the Pearl Export has reigned supreme in the entry-level drum set market for over 40 years, while remaining just as meticulously crafted on the inside as on the outside. The finish is so smooth that you won’t risk getting a splinter when changing a head! As for the exterior, aside from the Junior, each of the three configurations comes in six colors, including this beautiful “Graphite Silver Twist.” Furthermore, Pearl has always been renowned for the quality and durability of its hardware. Yet this new version raises the bar yet another notch. Parents can rest assured: this drum set is perfect for young people—but not just for them!

A legendary, versatile drum set.

Poplar: an ideal wood for entry-level to mid-range drum sets

Warm, balanced tone

Poplar produces a soft, warm, and well-balanced sound, with prominent mids and rounded lows.
It softens overly aggressive frequencies, making it ideal for beginners or studio drummers.

Good sound projection

Although poplar is softer than maple or birch, it offers good natural resonance and sufficient projection for rehearsals, small stages, or recordings.

All that’s left to do is play…

By including a new HWP-834 hardware pack with the Export—comprising a Demonator bass drum pedal, a Demon-style hi-hat stand, an S-830 snare stand, and now two BC-930 mixed cymbal stands— and a set of cymbals, this kit is ideal for getting started. Pearl has thought of everyone just starting out. With these accessories, a pro could easily handle a tour without batting an eye. Good news: this iconic drum set is ready to play and take on any challenge! In this highly versatile version, it remains the perfect tool for getting off to a great start.


New cymbal pack

The new version of the Export now comes equipped with the Sabian PX cymbal pack, offering a complete setup right out of the box. This set includes a 14" hi-hat, a 16" crash, and a 20" ride, delivering a powerful and dynamic sound with a refined hammered finish. This new addition replaces the Sabian SBR cymbal set.
