Advantages: Great drum build. Disadvantages: Will need extra spending on it in order to get it up to scratch.
disgusting sounds resembling baked bean cans being hit. The Pearl Forum I feel is infinitely better than other starter kits on the market and looks fairly smart with it's black coating. Although I say black coating as this is the colour of mine, the Pearl Forum comes in a number of other colours including Deep Blue, Charcoal, and Red Wine.
For £500 your money will provide you with:
- 22x18 bass drum
- 12x9 & 13x10 mounted toms
- 16x16 floor tom
- 14x5.5 wood snare drum
- 14" hi-hats
18" Pearl Crash/Ride cymbal
