In ePro Live, the power of the ePro electronics are combined with Pearl's Export series drum kits. Logically, the ePro Powered by Export kits are available in various finishes, both lacquers and wraps. This hybrid drum kit has authentic Pearl wooden drum shells and comes with Tru-Trac Electronic Drumheads. The latter can easily be replaced by regular drumheads, so that you can quickly and easily convert the ePro Live into an acoustic drum kit.

r.e.d. box module

At the heart of this electronic kit, you'll find the r.e.d. box (with r.e.d. being an acronym for Real Electronic Drums): a module with 128 MBs of RAM, 100 high-definition sounds and 100 high-definition drum kits. Furthermore, it has space for storing 100 drum kits of your own creation. Another unique feature is the Memory Switch, which allows you to replace the r.e.d. box samples with different ones that you can download from the Pearl website. After that you can easily transfer them to the module by connecting it to your computer via USB. You can even back up the original files before you replace them.

Hardware and accessories

The stands that come with this electronic kit are part of Pearl's HWP-830 hardware pack, which includes additional wooden bass drum hoops and regular Remo drumheads. The Tru-Trac electronic drumheads are dual-zone pads, which means that they can reproduce all the intricacies and nuances that you would play on an acoustic drum kit. The EHH-2 Tru-Trac hi-hat will fit any hi-hat stand, giving you a realistic playing feel. Combined with the redbox module, the EHH-2 can produce a wide variety of sounds, from an open hi-hat sound to half-open, and even a pedal chick and splash. Finally, this set also includes a ride and a crash cymbal.
