Thanks Peter! Yeah, I genuinely did not expect it to sound this good, such a pleasant surprise!

I put my traveler kit front spur up against the wall. No more wobbles when I play it.

my dream set

Nice video!👍 I currently play it in my videos too and it makes a lot of fun! 😊

dude, you look huge! like a giant. you look like a young Gandalf playing a drumkit inside a Hobbit's house.

Hey, thanks for this overview. I've noticed something by the wall. It looks like a 16" bass drum from breakbeats kit cut in a half to make one of that skinny bass drums for street playing. What is that?

Howdy mate, it is just a standard Breakbeats kick but the gopro positioning makes the depth look super unusual for some reason!

Thank you for the review! I am planning on getting one. I wanted to know, how loud is it compared to an acoustic set. Is it somewhat playable in an appartement? Thanks!

It has been a while since I have said Hi,So Hi.I am very close to getting this kit because I do open mics now and need something small.Not only is it small but it sounds amazing.Do you have other videos out.Would love to see & hear.Hope all is well & greetings from Orlando Florida.

Hi Oeter, real nice of you to get in touch! Yeah, it has served me really well for a good few open mics now - obviously not as crisp as a full kit, but definitely does the job for relatively casual stuff! I got the Yamaha EAD10 recently, so considering doing a review for that! Sending happiness and good will from Notiingham, England!

i wish i have this compact traveler hohays

I just got the kit! The first issue I've run into is my snare wire. It's started bending outwards...so my snare sounds like a tom...do you have any suggestions for this? The wires are bent upwards from the constant hitting.

Hmmm I've not had any such problem! Perhaps they are screwed on too tightly?

What are your cymbals? I have a shell-less drum kit like this and I feel my cheapo cymbals are way too loud for it. Do you know what kind of cymbals I should get by any chance? I play in a small room and I want to play my cymbals with out ear protection as you did in this vid. Thx, cheers.

In this video I am using 13" Zildjian K Custom Dark hats and a Dream Bliss 18" ride - The bliss is great, it can be insanely loud but it all depends on how you use it. It can take a little getting used to, but offers a real range of textures. I would always recommend ear protection though. I have been a bit lazy and have avoided using it for years, but am now starting to notice my hearing getting far worse.

Yeah it sounds great how is the volume compared to acoustic guitar and vocals without a microphone? Gave you a sub for sure 👍

Hey there Uncle Dan! Thanks very much for the sub! It is certainly a far lower volume than any other kit I've played on recently and I had an acoustic jam with some hotrods on it a few days a go - it was ideal.

@@SykesDrumsHowdy from Texas 🤠👍 man thanks for the reply. I'm definitely considering one. I scored a used Kat percussion pad for $50 bucks and you can plug a kick pedal and hi hat controller in it. The pad has 4 triggers. I'll setup as snare hat tom and crash. So I'm hoping that works out. It's shipped just waiting for it.

Sorry if this is kind of unrelated to the video but could I ask what pants you are wearing here? I like them a lot

Coo!

Not sure if you'll see this comment, but biggest question for me. I'm a double bass drummer, would my double pedal kit cause this to collapse? Let me know your thoughts.

Oooo I'm not too sure actually, if you're very heavy I guess you'd need it resting against something heavy!

My pearl compact kit arrived but it seems to have a major defect. The largest vertical bar is bent to the left. Do you know/have you used pearl customer care before? Have you ever needed to return something? I'm pretty disappointed.

That really sucks, I feel for you as I'd be massively disappointed. Fortunately I've not had an issue as of yet!

so did he sent the stuff?

Can you please play a ska or reggae beat?

Rim shot ??..bass pedal hookup ??...

Did u actually pay for it .? Or did pearl send it to you? How do I get one for free if that’s the case.?

Can you tell me how loud is this kit? I'm living in a small apartment and I'm planning to buy this kit with low volume symbals and I would like to play the kit without disturbing my neighbours.

Get mesh heads for the snare and bass drum.The mesh heads have the feel of real heads without the volume, i get my mesh heads on Ebay.
