You'll feel like Gene Hoglan onstage with this chrome-wrapped, double-kick Pearl Export kit from Sweetwater at your heels. Upgraded shells, hardware, and more make the Pearl Export EXX 8-piece drum set an enhanced version of one of the most popular and affordable drum series on earth. Inspired by Pearl's Reference Series, this Export EXX kit's Superior Shell Technology (SST) uses a combination of strategically arranged plies of premium woods (poplar, Asian mahogany) and proprietary construction techniques to maximizes shell output and response. And the Opti-Loc mounting system keeps your toms wobble free while reinforcing the resonance of the kit. Plus, the included 830-series hardware adds big bang for the buck with the Pearl Export EXX drum kit. All you need to do is add the cymbals!





Superior Shell Technology (SST)





The Pearl Export EXX 8-piece drum kit's poplar and Asian mahogany shells are constructed using Pearl's proprietary Superior Shell Technology. This construction method incorporates Pearl's trademarked AcoustiGlue that is boiled into the shells and pressed at over 1,000 lbs., 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. And to make these shells sound even better, Pearl outfitted them with new lugs that minimize shell interaction for maximum resonance and sustain. That really impressed Sweetwater's picky drummers!





Opti-Loc mounting enhances tone





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 of 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.





Included Pearl 830-series hardware and P-930 pedals





The high-quality 830-series hardware included in this Pearl Export EXX 8-piece drum kit is a sophisticated addition. Utilizing infinitely adjustable Uni-lock tilters, you have the ability to position your cymbals and snare drum precisely. The 1" base tubes and 0.87" center tubes with double-braced tripods are exceptionally sturdy. And the included P-930 bass drum pedals combine Pearl's Demon Drive pedal with their Eliminator interchangeable cam technology to dial in your power and control.
