Export Series, Now a Triple Threat. Ask any Drummer working today and most of them tell you that it all started with their first Export Kit. Since Export Series hit the Rock scene 20 years ago it has continued to redefine what an entry level kit should be. The evolution continues with a newly engineered lug for the entire family of Export Series. The new P-120P pedal offers styling cues from our award winning Eliminator line of high performance pedals, and the new H-820W Hi-Hat brings speed and response never before available at this price.

How do you top the best selling, most widely played drumset in the world for the last ten years running? Easy. Refine the look to full hi-end status and add a host of incredible features. Introducing the Export Series. The kit that sets the standard for all others to follow just keeps getting better and better. Export has long been a favorite with its road ready durable covered finish, and now with our exclusive split low mass lugs and etched badges, its look is nothing short of stunning. But Export is more than just great looks, in fact it shares all the other outstanding features of its sibling Export Select.

Value-priced, the Session Series drums shares many features of the Masters Series including superior quality lacquered finishes, OptiMount suspension system, and SP-30 telescoping bass drum spurs.
The Session (14"x5.5" and 14"x6.5") 6 ply 100% maple or birch snares offer professional components including SuperHoop II, CL-55 with brass swivel nut receivers, SR-017 vertical pull strainer, and S-022N snares, creating a sound that completes and unifies the overall tone of the entire kit.
Session Series components all feature low-mass designed lugs and Masterworks-style rubber gaskets for enhanced unrestricted shell vibration providing even full-bodied tone. All mounted toms come equipped with our OptiMount suspension tom mounting system that removes the hardware from the shell for increased resonance and sustain. Floor toms feature the R-40 "Air Suspension" rubber tips on all legs that act to "float" the drum to dramatically lengthen sustain for unrestricted bottom-end response. The Session Series toms, and floor toms also feature SuperHoop II rims for accurate precise tuning and open tonal clarity.
The ProTone drum heads on the Session Series offer a wide spectrum tone with unsurpassed durability. Bass drum heads are outfitted with an EQ ring for "out of the box" ready to play tone. Toms and floor toms feature our 2-ply batter head for deep rich sound. The Protone coated snare head has just the right balance of attack and tone for all dynamic levels.
Session Series drums are available in shell packs or components.
