Five Things to Love About the Pearl Compact Traveler Kit

Рет қаралды 68,187

2 жыл бұрын

The Pearl Compact Traveler Kit is built to go and go quickly, but that is just one feature you will love. It also:
- Easily converts to a standing kit
- Has a snare adjuster so your 10” drum can be a snare or tom
- Expandable with additional drums and mounts - right from your cymbal stands
- The 18” bass drum folds down to an insane 4” depth
Watch as Peter explains all these features and takes you on a trip back to the 1980’s (pastel t-shirt and white Armani jacket not required).

I have this kit. I replaced the kick head with a evans blk onyx emad. Sounds much deeper. Snare drum needs a real throw- off instead of the screw. Great kit for rehearsal or busking.

I have this kit and keep it in a cymbal bag in my car. Hi-hat stand, bass drum pedal, throne, and a couple of cymbal booms/clamps live in a small Rubbermaid box. It's great for taking to the park or friends' houses. If you bring along a separate snare, the 10" snare makes a good mounted tom. The add-on drums seem a little expensive for the price: a frame drum or tambourine is lighter and cheaper.

Keeping it in your car is a great idea! Yeah, it's kinda unnecessary to have a big ole 14" add on. Probably could just use 2 12" toms tuned differently.

Yeah, it's impressive! Remo had a kit back in the day called the PTS and it was essentially the same thing. The Pearl is so compact though, probably the most of any out there.

For training, if you have only two options to choose from Pearl traveler kit (with additional toms and cymbals) vs Roland TD-1KV which is better?

@BoomerMusicCompany 8 ай бұрын

Well, the Roland is definitely quieter if volume is a concern and has more sound options. I think the Pearl is better because you use an actual bass and hi hat pedal. If you're a beginner it's important to understand how to have volume control which can hard with electronic drums. A lot of beginners end up hitting electronic drums too hard because you can just turn the volume down. If you're not a beginner than it comes down to the pedals in my opinion.

Can you put toms and other cymbals on the snare arm and/or attach the cymbal stand tom mounts on the bass drum/snare mount? I'm asking because I need to get a drum set for playing metal that's relatively cheap (under £200) and will fit in my ridiculously tiny room (maybe like 3m*3m which is already half occupied by a bed and a chair).

@BoomerMusicCompany Жыл бұрын

Hello! I'll check it out today and see what the mounting capabilities are. My biggest concern would be the weight. I'll get back to you!

@BoomerMusicCompany Жыл бұрын

Hi! So, I could attach both toms onto the handle mount. I had to take the spring out of the clamps to make it go to a small enough diameter and it wiggles slightly. As far as adding cymbals you might have luck with the extensions that go on top of stands made by various companies. You would need to make sure the diameters would work together. Some companies offer small cymbal mounts that clamp onto rims but then you're adding a good amount of weight. Any chance of hanging something from the ceiling? Sounds ridiculous but can work in some situations. Good luck!

@AnkothOfficial Жыл бұрын

@@BoomerMusicCompany I think I'll go with the cymbal clamps/extensions. All I really need is a high hat and a crash/ride.

Could you please recommend a "Quiet" acoustic kit, if there's any, to use in apartment? cheers

@BoomerMusicCompany 9 ай бұрын

Hi! I do not know of any quiet acoustic kits on the market. However, The Black Hole product would probably be the one I would use. It will dampen the drums at least 90%. The biggest thing with apartments is that the bass pedal hitting a pad will transfer through the floor. If you can alleviate that problem then the rest should be good really. Look into Sound Off pads or the Black Hole products.

@Fe-Ree 9 ай бұрын

@@BoomerMusicCompany thank you very much! In addition to using those dampening pads, what kit would you recommend? Thanks so much

@AustinDrost Жыл бұрын

What did you do to make your snare sound better? Mine sounds awful it has a weird rattling sound to it

@BoomerMusicCompany Жыл бұрын

Hi Austin! I did nothing to it except adding a Moongel I believe. You just have to play with the snare mechanism and tuning range. When overtightened, the snares did have a funky slap back rattle sound. But if they were too loose it was all splatty. I have not tried a brand name head on the snare as that might help with response and tone. Those heads made in China are pretty bad. The USA made heads (Remo, Evans, Aquarian) will sound better for sure. I hope this helps!

Hello. Is there a way to make such a flat kick drum sounding more bassy and punchy?

@peterknudson9728 10 ай бұрын

It has more bass resonance in person but not a lot. Changing the head can give you more punch. To get more resonance you would need to add a body to it which defeats the purpose.

Pearl is now offering just the bass drum which is pretty awesome. I have one complete kit in stock but I'm selling it for less than that. Send an email to Boomermusiccompany@gmail.com if you're interested. Of course you can get it without the toms as I think it's make more sense to do 2 of the 12" toms and leave out the 14" tom.

@BoomerMusicCompany 7 ай бұрын

Ya know, it's not going to be the same as a full size kit, that's for certain. But it's not meant to by any means. In my opinion it's more of a rehearsal/practice kit. The bass drum will sound fine with a mic on it as well as the toms with some muffling. The snare probably won't have the same success with a mic on it. Maybe with some more muffling but I just don't know. However, I've never tried these with mics. That would make a good video! I have one in stock if you're interested!

Thanks! Yeah, with the toms it's the same price as a decent full size shell pack. Give and take I guess depending on your needs. We've all played that stage where this size of bass drum would be perfect. I think they should sell just the bass drum by itself. Who wouldn't want it?!

Sure, for the whole thing. It's a trade off. I wonder if they could use a 12" tom instead of the 14" tom and still achieve a deeper pitch. That would knock the $ down. Maybe even a 18" bass drum? I'm assuming they already tried these ideas but maybe not?
