Compact Kits: Premier Artist Heritage Club, Pearl R Traveler

bbqsauce

Hi there people,

I bought an Arbiter flats lite kit as a second kit for practice at home and with bands. I have not been very impressed with them. Consequently, I'm looking to upgrade. I still need to have a kit that is suitably smaller than my full size kit (Masters Studio 10, 12, 14, 22) to lug around, and more importantly store at my house. This is because I've had conversations with the girl I live with starting along the lines of "I refuse to have any more drums in my house.....", you know what I'm talking about.

Basically, I have two questions, Is the pearl rhythm traveller any kind of upgrade from the flats in terms of sound performance?

Secondly, I have looked at the Premier Heritage Club Kit (The one with the 20"x8" bass, not the other bigger kits), but can find little information about how this kit sounds. Has anyone heard/played this kit? It's that little bit bigger again, but is the sound worth it?

thanks in advance for any help that anyone can lend me
