Pearl Export Select

I was browsing and came across this, and was wondering if it is a budget kit, or a hi-end kit. It is only £449.00 (UK obviously), and am wondering if it would suit me as a step-up from my no-name starter kit, as a regular gigging kit?

Thanks

It is an intermediate kit, but from what I understand an older one (if I remember correctly Export Selects were replaced with E_X kind of names). Will it meet your needs: yes, definitely. Is it worth the price: I'm not as convinced given the possible age, exchange rates and the like.

Being another UK person, i'd REALLY recommend you look towards Mapex.

I started out with the Export EX, and it was around that price.
The Export is a Budget kit, not intermediate.

With an ever so slight step up in price, you could get an M-Birch or some Pro-M's which truly are intermediate (some regard Pro-M's as near pro)

You wont get as much for your money with Pearl drumwise....

However... Pearl hardware is awesome.

Pearl are a fantastic drum company, but charge inflated prices for the name nowdays.

So, how does Mapex hardware compare to Pearl hardware?
