The Pearl Export Series is the best selling drumset of all time and a name every drummer knows. The value and quality of the Export series has inspired thousands of musicians by providing solid shells, highly sophisticated hardware, lugs and mounting systems, all of which combine to deliver an amazing sound with fantastic build quality at an affordable price.
The Pearl Export EXA features high-quality 6-ply, 7.5mm poplar and Asian mahogany blended shells. The shells offer a crisp tone with the perfect amount of warmth. The tone is extremely versatile and fits into a wide range of drumming styles and genres, from smooth jazz all the way to rock.
The Export Series also incorporates Pearl’s Superior Shell Technology - SST, taking cues from the award-winning Reference Series, the new Export puts sound first. A sonically advanced recipe of strategically arranged plies of premium wood, chosen for their unique acoustic attributes, maximises the response of every component. Formed using extreme heart, precision-cut scarf joints for a perfect air-tight fit, and over 1000lbs of hydraulic pressure to create the ultimate acoustic air chamber.
The specifically designed sound enhancing lugs and on the Export drums further emphasise Pearl’s sound first philosophy. Designed for minimal shell interaction, they have a small footprint and low-mass for maximum resonance and sustain. Their bold look is modern with a hint of Pearl’s past.
