Pearl Forum Series Review & Price

The Peal Forum Series drums can be purchased brand new for between $500 and $800 depending on the configuration. This is an extremely cheap price for a complete drum set.

While a drummer with some experience will probably want to upgrade the snare, cymbals and possibly the hardware, the set is a great start for a beginning drummer or one on a budget.

The Pearl Forum FZ drum set offers a lot of value for the price.
