Pearl Target Series Review & Price

Pearl offers some of the most high quality and durable introductory sets on the drum market. The Pearl Target series drum kit is no exception. The shells and hardware will hold up well to extended play and the heads will hold tune very well. The exception is that with extensive gigging or moving the set around frequently will cause hardware and drum failure quicker. The snare on the Target Series is also surprisingly strong cut and clear sound. At a price of roughly $550 USD or £340 pound, the Pearl Target series drum set is a value kit with a lot of range.
