I bought this kit, the Signature 8 peice Joey Jordison Pearl Export kit, expecting it to be mainly hype, and money lost to a famous name with no real quality - but i was mistaken.
I paid $2499 (aud) for it, and was pleasantly surprised by the performance, especially of the Pearl P120P pedals. Being single chain and a fairly old model, i didn't expect them to be as smooth or adjustable as they are, although, the springs are kind of painful to tighten at times.
The 13"x6,5" Jordison Signature snare is obviously the talk of the kit in most reviews, although i have heard better, i agree that it's decent. Tuned just right it can be made to sound like anything from a Chris Adler style snare, to a George Kollias style snare, to a Jordison style snare - moreso on the "All Hope Is Gone" album, even a "St. Anger" style snare, if you're into that kinda thing, but that can be done with almost any household appliance.
The 10"x08", 12"x09", and 13"x10" toms haven't disappointed me, they have a very clear, deep sound, even with the mediocre heads that come with the kit. I also especially have a certain fondness for the 14"x14" and 16"x16" floor toms, also clear, and even deeper, with a very nice resonance.
The 22"x18" bass drums are also satisfactory, the size definitely seems like it counts towards the quality, but it can be a hassle moving them around, especially for gigs.
I am however, disappointed with the suspension system, namely - the TH70I tom arms, of which there are three. The toms can be tightened in place as much as you want, and shortly after, can move completely out of place from standard everyday use.
The tom that's causing me the most trouble is the 13"x10 tom, which rotates almost 90 degrees when hit a few times if it's not tightened as much as humanly possible, which can get very annoying.
The bass drum legs Also have tightness issues, whether they're insanely tight, or not too tight, after enough use (anywhere from 1 to 2 hours) the legs seem to loosen themselves and give way, requiring constant tightening, not good if you're trying to play a concert or something.
I was disappointed that no cymbals came with the set, requiring me to fork out an extra $1000 or so dollars to get the ones i wanted, but i am happy with the B70W boom cymbal stands, and the C70W standard cymbal stand. The snare stand is also easily adjustable and quick to get into a comfortable position.
The H72W hi-hat stand is average, but is also something i really like about this kit, mainly due to the bad quality of the last hi-hat stand i had. guess the value for money couldn't be too great, or it wouldn't be worth making in the first place.
Personally, i think the kit should have come with a drum rack, cymbals, and even a slightly newer model of pearl pedal. The P2002 might be asking a bit much though :P
Overall, i'm happy with the kit, the pros outweigh the cons, but only just. I suggest at least considering a drum rack, cymbals (Paiste black alpha perhaps? :P), and possibly new heads.

The Pearl Joey Jordison Signature sounds great
looks great
perfect for beginner to intermediate heavy metal/rock drummers
the snare comes with a coated remo head making the snare head last longer,sound better and perform better.
i like the deep drums they sound great
the suspension system works well
gotta love the joey snare (best sounding snare drum)
and the black on black look really draws attention to the kit- Read Guest's review (112 words)

The snare is awesome sounding and looking. The whole thing is good looking. The Pearl Joey Jordison kit sounds great. Wish it would have some sort of cymbals with it. Something like Paiste pst3 series (cheap and pretty okay sound for that priece).- Read Guest's review (50 words)

The snare drum is awesome and the whole thing sounds great when you grind out some metal! It also looks amazing. I'm impressed with it but it's a shame they were limited edition. It's a faff to take to gigs though.- Read Guest's review (41 words)

Bass drum and snare sounds really good. I would say that it's not so expensive, because you have almost two drum kits :). I really like it, just try this set up.- Read Guest's review (31 words)

Perfect for any one trying a more dark and heavier mental sound. As long as you've got the money and some cymbals to go with it.- Read MetalTitan's review (48 words)

What i first liked about it is its a double bass drum set, then it's a great drummer's signature, plus the hardware is really reliable, the snare is awesome, but i wish they sell it with Joey's cymbals. The only bad point is it is so expensive for the ordinary jammer. I generally like it but i wish it was cheaper.- Read adelation's review (61 words)
