[OliJones19]

[ltbproductionz]

Hi if you are looking for good hip hop samples check me out

[pinksfan4ever]

fake kit. Real drums are the way to go. With electric you cant do what you can with a real kit. And most dont even sound real. Its stupid

[YoutubingForSuccess]

wtf is this thing even plugged in? i swear its just an ordinary drum kit his playing,

[subulion]

What I dont get with this kit is why don't they just market the heads because with the trutrac heads on the shells all u hear is the heads anyway it seems pointless having the shells present if you r just going to play the heads

[tick0224]

how much

[IllusionOP]

@tick0224 from 2500 to 4200

[TheKatashe]

@tick0224 $2700,

[AkimoProductions]

IM SORRY!, but pearl is a great and very powerful drum company, they make a very nice set of drums and i also own a few acoustic kits but im pretty sure the "Electric kit" in general was made to be easy for transportation... now this looks like it would be the same as transporting an acoustic set... but making an electric kit to look like an acoustic defeats the purpose....(CAN ANYONE SOLVE MY DELEMA) "IS THIS JUST A COLLECTORS THING?" whats the point?

[timezoner]

@AkimoProductions

No way does it defeat the purpose. Unlike an expensive acoustic kit, you can get to experience many different sounds from the one kit, unlike your static acoustic one as well as serious quiet jams at 2 in the morning. Give me this beautiful kit any day over an acoustic of same value.

[VicenteKidd]

amazing



[ProDrummer30]

I play a Pearl Master Custom Birch set for years and it still sounds great in every situation. Live in a pub or live in a venue also in studio. But that electronic shit will never never never sound like an acoustic drumkit. It has no depth and there is no interaction between the drummer and the el. kit.

[MrSTEVENVY]

WHAT A DUMB ASS IDEA,,,,,,,,,,

[urbanannihilators]

@MrSTEVENVY

pretty genius if you ask me.

[blitztour]

BULLS#*T!

Boom Theory Spacemuffins beat Pearl at this by 20 years and the Spacemuffins kill this garbage!

How Pearl could make such a bogus claim, is a mystery

[Michael55443]

The tom attacks are really muted and the kick is very clicky sounding. Can this be adjusted?

[urbanannihilators]

@Michael55443 offcourse thats the point of an e-kit , they literally have hundreds and hundreds of preset sounds for each individual toms/snare/kick/cymbals

[Michael55443]

@urbanannihilators I realize that, as I've owned electronic drums before, but doesn't this drummer realize how bad the toms and crash sound?? Rather than changing to a new sound entirely, can these toms and crash and kick be "fixed" to sound better? Some electronic kits don't allow for that much adjustment.

[SigfridAffricano6297]

You can download the audio-mp3 of this song at getyourmp3s doht cohm.

[metalguitar1011]

This is why Pearl is the best

[Geeljasjes]

The kit is nice, the brain is from ToyRus.

[666kevbo]

I played it...... It sucks so bad, everone elt's at guitar center said the same... but i still love pearl

[rustyknight0303]

0.37 Just proves why you're just better off having an acoustic set, WITHOUT sampled triggers. Nice cymbal swell. hahahaa Sorry Buddy, but the cymbals you chose sound like crap.

[thepresentisdying]

this sounds awesome. the only thing id like to know is with the kit, especially the bass drum and the cymballs, are they completely silenced? i wouldnt wanna get it and be disappointed if my headphones werent good enough or something

[GonzoDrummer27]

I played this at Guitar Center yesterday, it's shit. The drums are ok, but the cymbals suck. They only have an extremely small sweet spot on them, you have to hit it in one little place on the cymbal. It's ridiculous.

[SolidDrummer92]

I know this is an electric kit but while you are playing the Pearl e-Pro Live drum kit is it quiet like the Roland electronic kits? Because i live in an apartment and need to know if these are quiet while playing them?

[jellyboy123]

@SolidDrummer92

yes there's no sound from this drum kit make sure you buy the one with rubber cymbals also you can get the one with brass cymbals but they a tiny bit more noize from the kit the brass cymbals have been treated there is no sound or very little sound.

if you want to know more about e pro live go to " e pro live dot com " and go to the video section.

[TheBeatSmith]

I own a set of Space Muffins that absolutely out perform these drums hands down....plus I get to choose my on kit size, color, wood, and I don't have to change heads to use them as acoustics........The Epro is a quality set but not much more that the td20 or the yahama products.

[Beholdthecoma]

I hate it when stupid sellout drummers who glorify a company just cos they got sponsored.

[r4pt0rP5K]

@Beholdthecoma they're most likely just kissing ass to get free drums

[Beholdthecoma]

@r4pt0rP5K yeah

[jellyboy123]

@Beholdthecoma

maybe they think the products a good product i know i think its a good product but thats my personal opinion.

why flame a product that you never tried.

[Beholdthecoma]

@jellyboy123 nah homie not flamin it, it's just he's really selling them, he's saying how amazing it is, like an advert, not a review. I think it's probably a good kit, it sounds fresh, and i haven't got better, but it's the way he says it all.

[bryan350z]

@Beholdthecoma uh thats because he works for Pearl... he's the sales rep a at the NAMM winter music expo (or w/e that shit is called). of course hes trying to sell the drumkit, hes like the shamwow guy but hes still employed by Pearl

[dtgfh]

I would be cool to be able to buy a conversion kit w/brain I would get it in a second.

[numanuma20]

@dtgfh dude just buy a brain and drum triggers

[Deluxeta]

It's just an expensive haxxored DM10 kit!

[scardrum2259]

played one of these there amazing:)

[naal92]

@scardrum2259

is this kit quiet? (the sound level without the module on)

[ritalinrush]

thing like this make me wish i was famous

[Paiste402]

also u cant do rimshots cause of the hoops which would bother me so much, play this too much you probobly couldnt go back to a real kit.

[eaglewings555]

@Paiste402 Doubtful dude. Pad hands is different than no being able to "go back to a real kit." It takes a LOT of habit reforming to override the muscle memory that we as drummers have developed over our musical careers.

[MonoLit004]

I perfer A roland TD 12KX then this. This sounds so fake.

[jellyboy123]

why are people against this kit its a great idea in my opinion.

[MonoLit004]

I'm guessing its because its pearl, or That the toms are and snare are bamboo.

[Paiste402]

@jellyboy123

its been done, Boom theory have already done this. You get a worst sound than a Roland yet u pay more, the shells are cheap as shit so its like a cheap beginners kit. And u have to lug extra gear and try not to scratch the finish just to have an electronic drum sound anyway when gigging. Also E Classic cymbals? Get out, they are worse than Sabian Solars and u cant play this kit quiet cause of em

U pay more, u have to carry more, get less sound and playability Should be the slogan

[Edgefactor627]

@jellyboy123 It's because they they trying too much on the look and no enough on the actual sound.

[molomono]

@jellyboy123 Idea's aren't reality.

Let's say this idea didn't wind up where it was supposed to. :P

[Songwriter4God]

Now, if they would SOUND like real drums it'd be awesome. They only look like 'um. If you don't notice, in the beginning he tries a cymbal swell and only the last hit is heard. Terrible.

[ergkj]

The kits too big. I want portability, for live performance your going to need to bring a med to large amp/cab for your band mates to hear you, so having a full sized electronic kit looks cool but a bit of a pain. The lush drums in memory switch sound nice though.

[barneylover64]

these don't even sound real... they're really clicky and way too compressed im sorry pearl but this is an epic fail. Let Roland do the electronic drums

[jellyboy123]

for like 3199 you can get a roland td12kx.

most people who got a electronic drum kit got a acoustic kit.

i love the idea but i don't know roland and yamaha are dominating the market.

is it to late for pearl to have a piece of the pie.

i think people will go out and buy a roland because its a brand people trust as a good electric drum maker.

[matpeterson21]

i think that it would be better to just get a yamaha dtxtreme III i mean you get a better module better sounds and 512 ram instead of 128 so i mean 3199 for this small of a kit, thats kinda dumb

[Drummerworld2010]

the whole point of an electric drum set is (1)they sound like acoustic drums AND (2)are portable whats the point of this thing? plus its like $3000

[chip2407]

The whole point on an electric set is that they can be used without waking up the entire apartment complex or next door neighbor. They are great for practicing.

[roelie2104]

are these pads compatible with the 2box module that's my question?

[striker888]

souds so fake :S!

[PocketDrummer]

I wonder how long it will take for RedBox to sue pearl for using their name...

[matpeterson21]

ok thank you

i was wondering about that because all they were talking about was changing the heads

[matpeterson21]

i understand the whole changing to acoustic drums but what about the bass drum or the cymbals especially the hi hat

[dopewithabass]

@matpeterson21 Bass Drum Works The Same Way As The Toms I Presume, And Just Swap The Cymbals And Hi-Hat Out To A Standard Acoustic Set Id Say
