Product Spotlight: Pearl’s ePro Live Drum Kit

e-Pro Live is a revolutionary electronic drumset that looks, feels and sounds like real drums. The real look of the e-Pro Live starts with the real sizes of the drums. The set features 10″, 12″ and 14″ toms, a 14″ snare drum, and a 20″ bass drum, so the drummer no longer has to change their playing mechanics to adjust to a set full of 8″ practice pads. The next component contributing to the real look of the drums is the real wood shells. Authentic Pearl shells, drum hardware and drum finishes adorn both versions of e-Pro Live. Two finishes are available: Pearl’s new Artisan II finish, available in a beautiful Quilted Maple fade, and a durable black wrap. To see more tutorial videos, please visit e-Pro Live mini-site.
