Designed for use in schools, street music, and small stages, this kit is the size of an electronic kit while packing the punch of an acoustic kit. Seriously, the product testers at Sweetwater were surprised to learn that this kit folds down to 5" in thickness for easy storage. But don’t let the size fool you, these heads pump out surprising volume for such slim drums. The bass drum has deep and round tone while the snare has a snappy sound that will amaze you.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Carrying handle for easy transport





The Compact Traveler kit has an advantage over every other acoustic kit; portability. When you’re setting up this kit, you'll notice that it has a foam attachment on the snare arm that allows you to pick up the whole kit and carry it around with one hand. When you’re done playing, you can still use the handle when the drums are folded together. You can even slide them under your bed. Imagine trying to do that with a standard kit ? you can’t.





Snappy snare and powerful bass





For anyone that just needs a snare, bass drum, and a couple of cymbals, this kit is perfect for you. The slim snare drum is snappy, responsive, and mounted on a 3/8" post. The bass drum is strong and feels incredible underfoot. The Pearl Compact Traveler kit pumps out the volume without all the bulk of any other kit. Both the snare and bass drum will accept standard drum heads so you don't have to worry about buying special, hard-to-find heads when it's time for new ones.
