Wow thank you for including metal drumming at 11:49! Didn't think I'll be able to find an example of someone using double pedal with this kit. It seems to shake a lot :D
Hi Dan ... great question! I still LUV this kit, but I've changed it up a bit since I posted this video. I actually expanded with a 14" Pearl Fat & Skinny Snare/Tom, swapped heads and added a snare which really brought in the best of all worlds. Here's a link to the video where I explained it (and I just tossed in my old Roto Toms just for fun, but don't use them out and about cuz most songs don't call for them). ua-cam.com/video/ro8EMKriTMk/v-deo.html I also, lastly, bought a 12" Gretch BlackHawk snare so I could hang it off my Hi Hat stand and have one less stand to carry, but still have a great sounding "real" snare. Here's a link to the video I posted for that drum. ua-cam.com/video/25QlRneakGI/v-deo.html Last thing to make sure you know ... the Compact Traveler Kit sounds GREAT if you're micing up the toms and playing through a PA. Otherwise, they sound a bit "thin" on their own, which may be OK for some scenarios, but definitely not for all. I explain that more in the first link I shared above. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Hello Filodrum1979 ... I wish I could tell you, but I have no real experience with triggers and I don't want to mislead you. I would think you could trigger the snare with no problem since it's just a standard triple flanged hoop that my LP Claw mic clips can attach to with no problem. The kick drum is different though as the hoop mounts flush against a solid ring that's about an inch thick and extends a little over an inch along the entire circumference. It may not provide a sufficient surface to mount your standard trigger. Sorry ... I wish I could tell you with confidence one way or the other. Thanks for watching though and I appreciate your note.
@@dgdrumtime1239 Good morning and thank you for your answer! I’ll definitely go to the music store with my triggers and will see if it’s possible to use them on both pads. Anyway the set is little expensive for what they provide but it seems perfect to transport and saving space. Don’t know about the sound though but I’ll figure it out! The Bass drum seems to sound good… Thank you again for you answer. Ciao!
@@filodrum1979 Hey again ... taking your triggers into the music store sounds like a great idea. Also, you brought up a good observation. The kit needs to be miced up to get a nice full and solid sound out of it. The kick sounds great and the snare will get you through most shows. However, without mics, they sound a bit thinner and unidimensional which might be fine for smaller venues where the drums are not the big driving force, but more supportive. To take it to the next level I ended up using the snare as a tom and brought in a full snare and bought a $99 Pearl Fat & Skinny aux snare and use it as a floor tom. Miced up with some Evans Black Chrome heads, this kit can bring the thunder, but even still without mics, its a bit thin. Check out this video I made as a follow up if your interested: ua-cam.com/video/ro8EMKriTMk/v-deo.html I'm using a 13x7 Pork Pie Little Squealer here, but a few weeks ago I picked up a 12x5.5 Pearl Blackhawk that mounts on the snare stand. I'm making a video to showcase that and will post it soon. Lastly ... let me know if those triggers fit on the kit, what kind your using and what console to drive them. I'm always looking to learn more about what's out there. Good luck and Thanks again!
@@dgdrumtime1239 Hi there! Thank you for your answer and sorry about my late reply. I’ll go to the music store tomorrow and I’ll bring my triggers and see if it’s possible to trigger the drums. I’ll keep you posted on that matter!! Talk to you soon! Ciao!
@@dgdrumtime1239 By the way, what bass drum head would you recommend to get a fuller and deeper tone? Somebody named Evans E-mad but I am not sure the exact model. Any suggestion?
Hi Mark ... sorry, I just noticed I never saw/responded to your question. I'm using some inexpensive mics that I think sound pretty great. It's a Pyle PDMIC78 on the snare and a HEIMU HDM61 on the kick. Lots of "bang for the buck". Thanks for watching!
By the way ... I experimented some more and, IF I can mic all my toms at a show, this setup here is what I'm really enjoying now (with or without the RotoToms). ua-cam.com/video/ro8EMKriTMk/v-deo.html
Hey ... great point, Andrew. I should have expanded more at the 12:10 mark and shown how nice it sounds tuned up tightly. Thanks for watching and for your comment!
Thanks for watching and I totally agree! Once this head wears out, I’ll be picking up an EMAD for sure (or EMAD2 maybe?) and should be able to go without the EQ Pad. Take care and thanks again!

Great review. I wonder how many units pearl sold because of this video 😀
Sounds really good man 👍
Hey Michael ... thanks for watching and I appreciate the kind comment!
Awesome! Where did you purchase your kit for 294. Most stores in my area price around 400. Without case
That was AWESOME!!!
Hi. How is the Pearl Compact travel kit holding up after a year? Are you still using it. Thanks.

Is it possible to use triggers both on the snare and bass drum?
Hello Filodrum1979 ... I wish I could tell you, but I have no real experience with triggers and I don't want to mislead you. I would think you could trigger the snare with no problem since it's just a standard triple flanged hoop that my LP Claw mic clips can attach to with no problem.

What mics are you using on kick and snare?

Floor Tom 16" or 14"?
Hi Michael ... I used my 14" Floor Tom in this video. Thanks for watching!
By the way ... I experimented some more and, IF I can mic all my toms at a show, this setup here is what I'm really enjoying now (with or without the RotoToms).

Snare sounds too loose. I would tighten it more to get a nice pop.
Hey ... great point, Andrew. I should have expanded more at the 12:10 mark and shown how nice it sounds tuned up tightly. Thanks for watching and for your comment!
I’d rather practice with these than a crappy electronic kit
This is a false representation of the snare drum sound, I don't know how you got the sound you are getting. I guess without mics it is not very good.
Evans Emad bass head ....
Thanks for watching and I totally agree! Once this head wears out, I’ll be picking up an EMAD for sure (or EMAD2 maybe?) and should be able to go without the EQ Pad. Take care and thanks again!
cool
Thanks, Constantine Dance ... I appreciate it!
