Get to know them!





Pearl’s Export series has long been known as one of the greatest all-inclusive drum kits ever envisaged, and the EXX725SZ/C package further solidifies that lofty title. Not only will you receive a 5-piece set of S.S.T.-formed and super-resonant poplar/mahogany hybrid drum shells, but you’ll also get a full outfit of 830 series drum hardware and a Zildjian Planet Z cymbal pack. Talk about drumming right out of the box! The 830 series promises a boom cymbal stand, hi-hat stand, snare basket stand, P-930 kick drum pedal, and straight cymbal stand for the ride. In terms of cymbals, you’ve got 13-inch hi-hats to work with alongside a 16-inch crash and a 20-inch ride. But aside from these goodies, the EXX725SZ/C includes some pretty stellar shell hardware of its own. Lightweight 1.6mm triple-flanged hoops and an Opti-Loc tom suspension system prioritize resonance and a wide tuning range, allowing each shell to sing to its maximum potential. Capped in Remo heads, drummers around Sweetwater have never seen the Export look this good!

S.S.T. poplar/mahogany shells





The poplar/mahogany hybrid shells of the EXX725SZ/C come plied six times over to a 7.5mm thickness. They are formed through Pearl’s revered Superior Shell Technology (S.S.T.) protocol, ensuring that each drum in the set plays with integrity and maximum tonal presence. The tone itself combines poplar's punchy and lightweight nature with mahogany's darker, more resonant character. This beautifully equalized formula is equipped to handle all styles of music, whether you’re frequenting those hard-hitting rock backbeats or jamming on jazz grooves with feather-light agility.





Stellar shell hardware





Around each curve of this 5-piece set, you’ll find integrated shell hardware that helps you sound your best, from basement rehearsals to local gigs. First, the EXX725SZ/C’s triple-flanged hoops are fantastic for keeping your kit lightweight while opening up the tuning range of each tom and allowing players to easily choose the tension that best matches the mix. Center-mounted lugs and a lightning-fast throw off present fabulous intonation and adjustability at the snare. Meanwhile, rubber-insulated claw hooks against the wood bass drum hoops keep those booming low frequencies from rattling your hardware and polluting the Export’s tone. Finally, an included double tom mount for the mounted toms, in conjunction with Pearl’s Opti-Loc suspension mount system, ensures that your Export resonates to its fullest potential.





Full 830 series outfit





An extensive 830 series package of stands and pedals covers every percussive base in your configuration. For your crash and ride cymbals, boom and straight stands are provided, each outfitted with versatile tilters to make positioning your brass effects a personalized and painless process. Hi-hat and snare basket stands fit snuggly abreast to the left or right of the player, while a P-930 chain-drive kick pedal with a 2-way beater head gives drummers the responsive and diverse attacking tones to succeed in any musical light. All stands come double-braced for superior stability with rubber feet to minimize slippage while playing atop smooth surfaces.





Brass effects from Planet Z





This EXX725SZ/C 5-piece kit comes with an accompanying 3-piece pack of Zildjian Planet Z brass effects to fill out all frequencies of your kit. For the hi-hats,13-inch top and bottom cymbals retain a compact yet lively patterning surface that attacks with bright “chick” when closed and a vibrant wash when opened up. To complement, a 16-inch crash cymbal and a 20-inch ride cymbal give you the versatility to accent with enthusiasm and rhythmize at the bell and bow to achieve a cymbal effect that’s just right for your sound. Just like the shells, this Planet Z 3-piece is perfectly balanced and ready to perform.
