In a nutshell, this is pretty much an acoustic kit fitted with Tru-Trac electronic heads. You can even go as far as to replace them with your regular skins and play the kit acoustically. Brass zone cymbals add to the setup’s ‘realness’ - Pearl’s philosophy being that players should be able to recreate the feeling of playing acoustically without having to adjust their technique to accommodate smaller, often cramped ekits.
