5-piece Junior Drum Kit with Cymbals and Hardware

Born out of Roadshow's white poplar shell construction and specially configured to smaller players and their tastes, the Roadshow Jr. is a quality all-in-one drum kit that kids and creatives of all ages will love spending time behind. Roadshow Jr.'s responsive 6-ply shells with hand-cut 45° bearing edges strike the perfect balance of head and shell response for the power and sustain to drive an ensemble. Pro-grade shell hardware, including adjustable spurs and gear-style tom holders, and your choice of two deluxe wrapped finishes crown each shell. Mini cymbals and a real-deal, reduced-scale hardware package — perfect for shorter arms and legs — complete the set.

6-ply poplar shells

Like the Roadshow Standard, the Pearl Roadshow Jr. is built entirely out of white poplar — a tonewood regarded for its light weight, crisp attack, and balanced response up and down the kit. Shells feature 45° hand-cut bearing edges and dual-point cast tuning lugs for a satisfying response at any tuning range.

Fully adjustable, reduced-size hardware

The Roadshow Jr. comes with a complete set of fully adjustable drum hardware to provide a solid foundation for younger players:

  • Chain-drive bass pedal with adjustable tension springs and round felt beater
  • Tripod hi-hat stand with matching black foot plate
  • Snare stand with height and angle adjustments
  • Straight cymbal stand with geared tilter
  • Cushioned drum throne with non-slip rubber feet and locking height mechanism

Starter cymbals included

Your Pearl Roadshow Jr. from Sweetwater comes ready to rock with 10" Pearl hi-hats and a 13" Pearl crash.

I bought a Pearl Roadshow JR and started a DIY electronic kit A2E conversion! kit is finished.

I took a few days to custom convert this lil' kit into a fully-functional electronic kit with better trigger technology than Roland or Alesis. Custom Piezo element soldering, wiring, cymbal and shell conversion the works!

while this project turned out awesome, I won't lie. THIS KIT IS CHEAPLY MADE!!

You can stip a tension rod without even trying so be VERY careful. Most times they don't even line up.

cheap made-in-china junk and I don't think PEARL even makes this kit as there's so many other kits just like it with the same parts on other sites etc. HOWEVER

It's still a great purchase if you're looking for a tiny/compact lil' kit for an A2E conversion.

If you want a compact kit, I'd not buy this one, even if it's for your kid! buy the smaller Pearl Roadshow 4 piece, or some other compact jr kit as these are REALLY physically cheap.

Great kit for young kids!

This is not a toy, its a legit set (for a kid) that you would expect from Pearl. We received ours last Sunday and the setup was about 1.5 hours for an experienced drummer. Everything was packed very neat. My son is 8 years old and is loving it! I hop on it from time to time as well! It comes with everything you need... seat... sticks, drum key etc. We are very happy with this drum kit. The service from Sweetwater was excellent as well. Highly recommend, for the price you can not go wrong.

Tiny size big sound!

Can't believe the sound for the size. Got this set for my two year old. Had our first jam session and I can't believe the sound quality. He can't reach the pedals yet but this set will last! Nothing but awesome reviews for niche our Sweetwater rep of four years now. Love the drums love Sweetwater!

Pretty good drum set

This was my first drum kit ever. I got it when I was 6 years old and that's when I knew I was gonna play the drums forever and I have played since. A perfect kit for your first drum kit. Looking back now i think it's pretty bad because I've had it for 7 years the heads wear off quickly and the cymbals are pretty bad but when I was 6 it was the coolest thing I owned. Parents, buy this kit!

Big sound little box

Well made kit. It says Jr. on the box, but not a toy. I have a couple larger kits, and was looking for something a little smaller for quick gigs. Definitely impressed as soon as the box was opened. Quick easy setup. Everything you need right out of the box. Would recommend using Tune-Bot if inexperienced at tuning. I did switch out the heads for Evan Hydraulic heads. Wasn't a necessary swap, but the tone on those heads are incredible. Kit fitted perfectly in the backseat of a challenger. Would recommend for all levels. Actually just played it outside at a wedding gig. Used a couple Behringer BC1200 mics, quick easy setup.
