Description
The RDP2F5YL is a 5-piece Rydeen shell pack from Yamaha, designed for beginning to intermediate drummers. This kit features 6-ply poplar shells, giving it a warm and balanced tone. With a larger 22″ bass drum, it provides a fuller low end but remains manageable for smaller setups. The hardware includes Yamaha’s reliable tom- and pipe‑clamp system, making it easy to mount and adjust toms. The bass drum head has a special double-film design around its edge to produce a tight, punchy sound. Visually, the kit stands out with a vivid Mellow Yellow finish, including matching steel hoops on the bass drum
Features & Specifications
-
Shell Material: 6‑ply poplar (approx. 7.2 mm thickness) — delivers a warm, full-bodied tone that’s versatile enough for many music styles.
- Hoops & Shell Hardware:
- Toms and snare use 1.5 mm triple‑flanged steel hoops for an open, resonant sound with good sustain.
- Bass drum uses a steel hoop with a matching-color inlay for a cohesive visual appearance.
- Tom Mounting: Comes with two 22.2 mm-diameter Yamaha tom clamps (with ball‑mounts), allowing flexible positioning of the rack toms to suit your playing style.
- Bass Drum Head: Uses Yamaha’s “P3” type bass drum head — a double-film edge design that helps mute excessive overtones and delivers a tighter, more focused bass drum sound.
- Finish: Available in vibrant finishes (e.g., “Mellow Yellow” for RDP2F5YL), giving the kit a stylish look on stage or in a studio.
- Versatility: As a shell pack, you can choose your own hardware (stands, pedals, cymbals) according to your budget and playing needs — offering flexibility from practice setups to live band gigs.
