Our take on the Pearl Export 5-Piece Drum Set with Sabian Cymbals

The Pearl Export 5-Piece is Pearl's long-running entry-to-mid-level acoustic kit, here bundled with Sabian cymbals and hardware in a purple wrap. It covers the full setup a new drummer needs: bass drum, snare, two toms, floor tom, hi-hat and cymbals. At $949.99 at Sweetwater as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the top of its recent range, so the bundle price reflects the included cymbals more than a discount on the shells.

Pros
  • Complete setup: shells, hardware, hi-hat and Sabian cymbals in one box
  • Pearl's poplar-and-mahogany shells are built to take years of gigging
  • Wide tuning range suits rock, pop and punk
  • Strong resale value as a first kit
  • Purple wrap stands out on stage
Cons
  • Stock heads and cymbals are the weak links; most owners upgrade both
  • Bass drum and toms can sound boxy until tuned and damped
  • Heavy and bulky to move; not a kit you carry to every rehearsal
  • At $949.99 it is near the top of its recent price range

What reviewers say

Owners treat the Export as a dependable first real kit that holds tune and survives gigging. Most say the shells are the strong part and the included heads and cymbals are the first things to replace.

What people mention
  • Build qualityPraisedOwners say the shells and hardware hold up to regular gigging and moving.
  • Stock headsCriticisedReviewers report the factory heads sound flat and are usually replaced early.
  • CymbalsMixedThe Sabian cymbals complete the kit but are seen as a starting point, not a keeper set.
  • TuningPraisedBeginners find the toms easy to tune to a usable sound.
  • Bass drum soundCriticisedThe kick needs muffling and careful tuning to avoid a boxy tone.
  • PortabilityCriticisedOwners note the full kit is heavy and awkward to haul to rehearsals.

Questions and answers

Is the Pearl Export a good first drum set?
Yes. It is one of the most common first acoustic kits, with sturdy shells and hardware that last through years of practice and small gigs. Budget for new heads and better cymbals later.
Are the cymbals and hardware included?
This bundle includes the bass drum, snare, mounted tom, floor tom, hi-hat and cymbals, so it is playable out of the box. Throne and sticks are typically not included.
How does it compare with the Pearl Roadshow?
The Export uses better shells and hardware than the Roadshow and is the more gig-ready kit. The Roadshow costs less and suits casual home players.
Is $949.99 a good price?
It is the best new price found across four stores as of November 7, 2026, but it sits near the top of the kit's recent range. Watch for bundle discounts rather than expecting a deep cut.
What should I upgrade first?
Replace the stock batter heads on the snare and toms, then add a better ride or hi-hats. Those two changes improve the sound more than anything else.
How much space does it need?
Plan for roughly a 6-by-6-foot footprint with the kit set up and room to move around it. The bass drum alone is about 22 inches across.
Where is the Pearl Export 5-Piece Drum Set with Sabian Cymbals cheapest?
At Sweetwater, for $949.99, 21% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Pearl Export 5-Piece Drum Set with Sabian Cymbals?
13 stores we checked sell it, including eBay, Sweetwater, Guitar Center, Walmart, Musician's Friend.
