Yamaha Total Percussion 285 Series Bell Kit with Backpack

Brand

Yamaha

Originally $500. Taking a bell setup on the go has never been easier thanks to Yamaha's Total Percussion 285 Bell Kit. This all-in-one package not only sounds great, but it packs up efficiently and is easy to carry. Percussionists are impressed by this aluminum bell set's F57 to C88 range, which helpfully starts on F instead of G to reduce confusion for beginners using accidentals to find middle C, while also allowing for more 2-octave scale studies. The Total Percussion Kit does aim to challenge students as well, only including note name stickers on the inside of the case and leaving them off the tone bar surface for more realistic practicing, performing, and development. A sturdy stand supports this bell set with an X-shaped music stand attached at the top. Additionally, the included tools are plentiful — you get a pair of mallets, Vic Firth SD1 drumsticks, and an 8-inch tunable practice pad. The soft case includes a music pouch, the backpack straps provide a hands-free alternative for transporting your bell set. Designed by band directors for students, the Total Percussion Bell Kit is the ideal starter tool to propel students toward greater musical development.
