Pearl Rhythm Traveler 5-Piece Portable Drum Kit

This is a professional trap kit all the way. From Pearl's patented Heat Compression Molded, actual wood shells to the rapid kick pedal to the included brass hit-hats & crash-ride, the Pearl Rhythm Traveler can hack it on stage & even in the studio, no issue. Because what is the point of portability unless the set is one you'd be proud to show up with?

Just like a secret agent's bow-tie camera, the Rhythm Travel is over a one-trick pony. This unique kit ships with a set of muffle heads and rubber cymbals for the stealthiest practice this side of Collateralized Debt Obligations trading. The benefits of silent rehearsal on a kit that is got the same action and same head spacing as the one you'll play live are obvious: it is like being able to practice on your main kit anytime, anywhere. And switching from silent back to a live kit is as simple as changing drum heads and cymbals.

With Rhythm Traveler, you receive a complete set of ultra-high quality drums and hardware, specifically designed to be lightweight yet tremendous sturdy and highly long lasting. Rhythm Traveler shells are manufactured by Pearl's patented Heat Compression Shell Molding System, which is the same method used for every drum Pearl makes. Tom sizes are 10 in., 12 in. and 14 in. and their 5 in. deep, single headed design lets them neatly stack for compact travel while producing a great tone for live performance. Rhythm Traveler's wood shell snare drum is 5 in. x 13 in. and produces a warm, full-bodied snare tone with excellent crack. With Rhythm Traveler, you get 2 complete sets of heads, 1 for live performance and 1 set of Pearl's new Muffle Heads for silent practicing. Muffle Heads are manufactured of a tremendous strong mesh fabric that responds like a regular drumhead, while producing virtually no sound. Together with Pearl's Silent Cymbal Pads, Rhythm Traveler produces the realistic feel of a regular kit, complete with rim shots, every time you rehearse. And the best part is changing from a practice kit to a live kit is as simple as changing the batter heads and adding cymbals. Rhythm Traveler is great for the working drummer needing a little transportable kit, the beginning drummer needing to start with a top quality set, or any drummer that is worn out of practicing at someone else's convenience.

Live Performance
Rhythm Traveler is the ideal kit for most any live performance situation where space, or the shortage of it, is a major concern. With Rhythm Traveler, you are setup, sounding great, and prepared to play before most drummers could even unload their set. And when the gig is over, you are out as quickly. With Rhythm Traveler, going from practice to live is as simple as changing the batter heads and adding a couple of cymbals.
