Pearl's New Baby Roadshow kit

[RushDrums24]

Seen on Pearls social media from Summer NAMM.

The package includes a 16”x10” bass drum, a 13”x8” floor tom, 10”x5.5 and 8”x5” toms, a 12”x4” snare drum, bass drum pedal, snare, cymbal, and hi-hat stands, and a 13” crash and 10” hi-hat metal cymbal set.

Ohhhh.... My sister will hate me if I get one for my nephews.

Seems like it would be fun to jam on a bit, even as an adult.

Smart business move on Pearl’s part. With all the parents out there who think their kid is going to be the next ___________, they can cash in on it. It’s incredibly cheap as well. I can definitely see a family member buying one for a grandchild or nephew/niece.

Good for travel too, if you nested the drums inside each other, I dare say it would fit into a large suitcase with room to spare for a stand or two and a couple of small cymbals. Good portability for drummers who need to fly to gigs, or a backstage warm up kit.

Very clever move by Pearl, i'm surprised they aren't marketing some of these things.

This kid should be their endorsing artist.

I think the Roadshow Jr. is pretty cool. There are a ton of kits marketed to kids that are absolute rubbish. This would also be a nice way for person giving drum lessons to comfortable take on very young clients!

Cheers to Pearl.

The Roadshow Jr are actually really nice and sound good and are good build quality.

I only believe this to be true. Rereading my comment does sound a bit like I'm putting the RSJ in the rubbish boat, but not at all.

I would expect nothing less than quality with the Pearl logo attached.


It would be cool for a RoadShow kit owner to be able to incorporate the Jr.s and have some very unique tom sizes!

Great idea!

Hi,
So I purchased a JR set for my grandson who has taken up an interest in my full size kit, but at 7 years old its just way to big for him - He helped me set them up, tune them up and then we started the lessons of rock drumming 101....

The only issue so far is with the rack mount toms - they have a 5/8 diameter tube and mounts and are set up just like the regular mounts to accept the stop locks/ memory, however there were no stop locks / memory locks included for this 5/8 size so they just spin on the mount tube arms, no matter how tight you make the set screw after a few hits they just spin out of position...

I contacted Pearl tech support, who got right back to me the same day, and they admitted it was an engineering over sight when they went to the small 5/8 tube arms... that was over 2 months ago so i am hoping to report back soon that they have engineered a new stop lock and will be shipping a pair to me....hopefully they will also send to anyone else who has purchased this JR set as well....

I just sent a reminder email to Pearl so I hope to report back some good news on this issue soon

Pearl does have some 5/8" stop locks. Perhaps you could try one to see if it works.
