A Compact Drum Kit

"Why don't you make a real drum kit for kids?" That request by Manu Katche caught our designers' ears and had them designing this new drum kit. Compact, it is designed for smaller players, but it is far from being a toy. A 16" x 16" 9-ply bass drum with a 6-ply 13" x 13" floor tom, 10" x 7" tom, and 12" x 5" snare are all made of quality Philippine mahogany using our original Air Seal System to produce shells that are perfectly round. Easily transportable, these drums deliver tone that is so unbelievably real you'll be tempted to use it on gigs of your own.

Floating Bass Drum System

Height adjustment on the pedal side of the bass drum is possible with the pipe post stabilizer. Use of this system ensure that the beater makes contact at the center of the head. The stabilizer fits into a pipe clamp on the underside of the drum that allows quick and easy adjustment of the height. The post is equipped with a memory clamp that ensures subsequent settings will be quick and precise every time, while a pair of supports provides added stability.

Air Seal System for Superior Shells

The use of our original Air Seal System is in part, responsible for the superior quality found in Yamaha drum shells. Select woods are cut into plies, positioned with staggered diagonal seams, and sealed together with evenly distributed air pressure. The resulting shells are perfectly round and of uniform thickness delivering superior tone quality and exceptional durability.

Hardware

The Junior Kit comes equipped with durable, but lightweight, hardware. The kit includes a snare stand specifically designed for the smaller diameter snare drum.
