This 22" configuration edition retains the Export spirit: a kit designed for learning, rehearsing, and playing in a band, with a complete formula that limits additional purchases thanks to the HWP-834 hardware pack and included cymbals. Within the Pearl range, the Export is positioned as a "premium beginner" choice: accessible, robust, and sufficiently performant to support progression over several years.Who This Drum Kit Is ForThe 22" Pearl Export primarily targets beginner drummers who want to start on a real acoustic kit, but also intermediate players looking for a complete drum set for lessons, rehearsals, and first gigs. Its 22" bass drum offers a familiar feel and comfortable projection in a group, while the toms and floor tom allow building effective grooves, from simple rhythms to more pronounced breaks. It adapts very well to styles where energy and clarity are key (rock, pop, funk, variety), while remaining easy to control at moderate volume with good tuning.Features and InnovationsThe strength of this kit lies in the balance between simplicity and efficiency. The OptiLoc suspension system is designed to reduce stress on the shells: as a result, the toms resonate more freely and maintain a longer note sustain, which helps both to achieve a more "open" sound and to refine tuning. The set comes with the HWP-834 hardware, a coherent base to focus on playing rather than stability compromises, and the Demonator pedal provides a more precise feel underfoot, useful for working on control, attack, and consistency. Finally, the presence of a Sabian cymbal pack allows you to immediately play a full set (hi-hat, crash, ride) without having to start out with mismatched cymbals.SoundThe poplar shells (6-ply construction) are known for their warm character and naturally forgiving response. Practically, this translates into a round, easy-to-balance sound that is more forgiving when learning the basics of dynamics and tuning. The attack remains clear, which helps maintain clean playing, while the harmonics are generally easy to control to quickly achieve a musical result.The 22" x 18" bass drum delivers a full low end and solid presence, ideal for laying down a rock or pop groove with good impact. The 12" x 8" and 13" x 9" toms offer a progressive pitch rise, convenient for smooth tom runs, and the 16" x 16" floor tom adds body for breaks and phrase endings. The OptiLoc mounts help extend resonance and provide more openness, enhancing the sense of depth, especially at band volume.The Sabian cymbal pack completes the kit with an effective foundation for contemporary music: a precise hi-hat to mark the tempo, a responsive crash for accents, and a ride with good definition to hold the pattern. Together, they form a coherent starting point to build your sound, work on your touch, and then evolve according to your playing preferences.Technical SpecificationsShells and ConfigurationSnare drum: 14" x 5.5"Bass drum: 22" x 18"Tom 1: 12" x 8"Tom 2: 13" x 9"Floor tom 1: 16" x 16"Construction: 6-plyMaterial: poplarColor: BlackHardware and InclusionsHoop type: stampedCymbals included: Yes
