Pearl Forum Drum Set Review
The phrase “beginner set” can be very misleading. From some manufacturers, the phrase means you are wasting your money, period. But from Pearl Drums, with a world-renown reputation on the line, a beginner set is something you can rely on to deliver outstanding quality in an entry level drum kit. Their Pearl Forum Series Drum Set is geared toward the beginner, but its quality puts the best efforts of other makers to shame. This 5-piece kit sounds great, and offers great value at the same time. Solid poplar shells are the result of the same shell molding process the pro line receives, including gapless seams for consistent shell vibration. The resultant sound travels well, is warm and rich, with surprisingly strong resonance.Where Great Drumming Begins
The Pearl Forum Series Drum Set features a 5.5x14 snare that offers crisp sound and a versatility of tones, depending on your tuning style and the music you’re playing. Standard toms, floor tom, and bass sizes complete the set. All feature low-mass lugs for unhindered tonal quality. The I.S.S. tom mounts won’t interfere with resonance, allowing for free vibration of the shells. This set even comes with cymbals and sticks, a benefit that adds value to an already great offering.
Conclusion
Beginners will have the gear they need to learn to drum the right way, without having to compensate for lousy equipment, slowing their progress. These are also a great choice for schools, churches, or other venues where multiple drummers use them. New kits run $490 to $690, while used sets can be picked up for under $375. In this case, entry level excellence is not an oxymoron.
