The PDP's hands down.
-
i think ull get a better sound quality from the pearl export..plus its PEARL..i mean need i go any further....
-
out of the 2 the pdp but i would like to advise the you may wanna look at yamaha
-
pdp...
-
The PDP's definately look better, but may not sound better.... agreein wid musiqueme26, take a look at wat yamaha's saying.
cos yamaha truly provide the best kits... hold your horses guys its just my opinion ;D
-
i dont think you could go wrong with a PDP (in my opinion)
-
PDP sounds better than the Yamaha stage custom AND the Pearl Export. I believe the Export is made of poplar (JFunky, ER, Sabe: y'all correct me if I'm wrong). The Yamaha stage customs (which would be about the same price range) is made of Phillipine mahogany and falkata woods. The PDP FS kit is made of birch. 100% birch. Recording quality birch. I used to love Pearl. But I bought an FS kit, and I never turned toward Pearl again. Gigs, church, studio -- that FS (PDP) kit is not going to do you wrong.
As far as the price range that you're talking about. . . Pearl can't touch PDP. Don't get caught up in the hype of the names. Look at what they're made of.
-
I'm not a fan of DW products but I'd most definitely get the PDP over the Pearl because of the wood. I hate the sound of the poplar wood that Pearl used on the Exports and would definitely choose a maple or birch kit over the poplar. Now, if you talking about the new all maple Export then that's a different story.
-
Yeah in that price range PDP is killin...............their hardware is okay but the sets are bangin.....
-
PDP, and dont look back, and like some of the others said check out some Yamaha kits and ;DMapex ;D
-
PDP bro. That Pearl Export doesn't even come close. I own the PDP CX Maple and I love them. I've made my money back gigging with that kit in in just one weekend. PDP man!
-
...out of the FS Birch PDP and the Pearl EX you've posted.....the PDP hands down. That's a great sounding kit and it is one of two 100% Birch Shell kits offered at that price since the Catalina Birch by Gretsch is discontinued and replaced by Maple Shells. >:(
...now, YES; consider looking into Yamaha's Tour Custom drum kit. 100% Maple shells. Great kit. The downfall is that you'll need to rehead the whole kit instantly because the heads are not what you may want. ;) Modern Drummer Mag. even stated the same thing in their review.
...okay so....for all of you guys that are dissin' Pearl.....let's just say that yall haven't experienced the NEW 100% Maple Shells Export. ;) That's a great soundin' kit. Also, check out the new Vision Series Kit by Pearl which is made of Birch and Basswood. They also sound very good.
...I would also like to welcome the new Sonor 3007 and 2007 kits to the intermediate or Semi Pro Level drum kit game. Look into those as well.
...it's your turn now. I apologize for adding kits to your list but it is better to have different options just in case you need 'em.
...Happy fishin'.

in my opinion i say pearl. i own a pearl export series 7 piece set and its 100% birch. it sounds great for recording puposes. pdps are cool but it really doesnt fit my sound. im looking at getting a yamaha pretty soon so try looking into yamaha.

...are you sure about that? When did Pearl ever make a 100% Birch Shell Export ?/?
...The only intermediate level kit that is Birch is the New Vision Series and it's not even a 100% Birch Shell kit. It's Birch and Basswood mix. You my friend may have a 100% Poplar Export. ;)

Man...you contradict yourself..Dont you want a Sonor or a Ddrum kit???

Just like you are a fan of Meinl, Im a fan of Yammy's... Im not saying that there the only company to choose from, If that was the case then I wouldnt have given him the link.. :-\... If someone offered me a Sonor or a DDRUM kit, or anything else for that matter, I would take it in a heart beat.!!.. EC Its was only a joke... :-\ :(.... I have been playing Yamaha every since I was young man... thats all Im acustomed to... I do admit that I need to venture out and see what other companies have to offer... :)

Well out of all the brands, the PDP is probably the best in that range, but to be honest they are all about the same; blends of more than one type of wood, yes the PDP cx is maple but its not the maple or birch on the top line sets. Anyway if that is all you can afford definitely go with the PDP.
-
PDP looks tempting.real talk.. but im a Pearl man (boy) .. I got this 6piece pearl export set that look jus like the PDP but its black that fades to red...on Layaway..But pearl export sounds great man
