Pearl Midtown Drum Set 4-Pc Shell Pack-Pure White (MDT764P/C33)

Product Information

The vintage-flavored Gretsch Catalina Club drum set is another strong contender for the best mini drum set on the market. These drums are constructed with Mahogany wood for rich and deep tones and feature 30-degree bearing edges for added warmth. The Tama Club Jam is an impressive mini drum set that comes in at a very modest price point. Featuring drum shells made from lively Poplar/Mersawa wood, this retro-inspired compact kit produces killer tones despite its small size.

If you are looking for your very first drum set in jazz sizes, this has to be the best jazz drum set for you. It’s a seriously impressive beginner drum set that is durable, well-constructed, and sounds surprisingly good. Especially when compared to playing drums for other styles, where you can dampen the drums to get better sounds. If you have been following keenly, there is so far everything good you can expect from a remarkable drum with the Pearl Midtown. Cymbals are the main timekeepers in jazz, whereas the drums are there to fill in flavorful patterns and build intensity where needed. Consider your budget:

Oh no! Why did I get blocked?

The Pearl Midtown Drums will fulfill these expectations. They come bearing the standard quality features and construction of the brand. In terms of measurements, this kit was not bad at all. Many entry-level kits show up to three mm discrepancies when you cross-measure the diameter of the shells. I have seen the same issues, up to two mm from ‘level’ to high and low-bearing areas. Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty

Sonor’s Jungle kits set the quintessential blueprint for a lot of micro/compact setups in the ‘90s. Taking aim squarely at the growing trend for drummers wanting to emulate the higher-pitched sampled sounds heard in drum’n’bass and hip-hop, the Jungle’s popularity became something of a catch-all eponym for kits of this size. Fast forward to today, though, and the configuration is called ‘Safari’ and is available as part of Sonor’s AQ2 series.Cymbals are arguably a more important investment than drums in a jazz drumming setup. It may be better to get a slightly more affordable jazz kit to spend more on quality cymbals for jazz. Mahogany, maple, and birch are examples of higher-quality woods. These are used in pro drum kits, and they give much better sounds to the drums. Birch, maple, and mahogany are the most common wood types used in drum construction for higher-quality and higher-priced drum kits. Setup and assembly takes a mere 15 minutes from emptying the contents of the boxes. The resulting little bop kit gives a remarkably positive impression. Oooohs, Aahs and big grins all around from the three of us. From the perspective of shell make-up the Midtowns are all 6-ply, 7.5 mm Poplar shells with standard 45 degree inner and slightly smoothed over 45 degree outside bevel bearing edges. The toms both have six lugs per side, while the snare has eight. The bass drum also has six lugs per side which may seem like two too few to some, but should be more than adequate considering the expected tuning range. Some of the competitors in the segment boast 8 lugs on the bass drum, but instead provide either steel hoops or regular triple flange rims, while the Midtowns shine with their rounded over wood hoops with matching wrap on the outside.

Included in the set, you receive a 16×12 bass drum, 10×6 and 13×10 toms, and a 12×5 snare drum. You also receive all the hardware, including stands, a bass drum pedal , and even a drum throne. The included hi hat cymbals and crash cymbal are not amazing but are adequate for beginners. It sounded very pleasant after tuning the resonant just past floppy, and the batter heads tight enough for some bounce. It gave out and ample low even with just a small tad. You can increase the volume with medium tuning, but the authoritative punch remains the same, only with more sustain. They also come with a matching wrap on the outside. Any drummer will tell you these are better features than what others promise.Pearl have long been one of the leading names in the drum world and have a great reputation in both professional and beginner level drum kits. Their Pearl Export drum kits famous as the best selling kits of all time. Moving onto the intermediate category, the Pearl Decade Maple 7-piece is a huge maple drum set that Pearl offers. Every drum has a thin 6-ply maple shell that makes it warm and resonating. You can tell a quality drumset right from the first glance. It is the impression it gives you, then that should tell you what you need to know. And Pearl Midtown is no different. Now it is time to look at the construction and design. And I believe it is not going to disappoint either.
