Our take on the Pearl Export

The Pearl Export is a 5-piece acoustic kit with poplar shells, a 22x18 bass drum, a 14x5.5 snare and a single bass pedal. It is the long-running entry-to-mid level kit that many players start gigging on. The Daphne Blue finish and 6-ply shells are the main draws at this price. At $949.99 at eBay as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the low end of what this kit has recently sold for.

Questions and answers

Is the Pearl Export good for a beginner?
Yes. It is a common first full-size acoustic kit, with a standard 5-piece layout and easy-to-find parts. Budget for new heads and cymbals soon after.
Does it come with cymbals?
This listing is the 5 drums and a single bass pedal. Cymbals, stands and a throne are usually sold separately, so check the box contents before buying.
How does it compare with the Pearl Roadshow?
The Export uses poplar shells and a 22-inch bass drum, and is generally a step up in hardware and size from the Roadshow. It is the better pick for gigging.
Is $949.99 a good price?
It is the lowest new price among the four stores listing it as of November 7, 2026, and sits at the low end of its recent range. Used Exports often sell for less.
What sizes are the drums?
The kit has a 22x18 bass drum, a 14x5.5 snare and three toms in a standard rock setup. Confirm the tom sizes with the seller before ordering.
Is it loud enough for band practice?
Yes. A full-size acoustic kit with a 22-inch bass drum is loud enough to play with a band, which also means it is not suited to apartments.
Where is the Pearl Export cheapest?
At Musician's Friend, for $1,199.99, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Pearl Export?
4 stores we checked sell it, including Guitar Center, Musician's Friend, Walmart, eBay.
