Yamaha Rydeen

The Yamaha Rydeen series is named after the Japanese god of thunder and represents Yamaha’s entry-level range of acoustic drum kits. Designed as an all-in-one starter package, Rydeen introduces a new generation of aspiring drummers to the exceptional quality and craftsmanship that Yamaha is known for. It provides everything a beginner needs to start playing right away, combining great sound, reliable hardware and stylish finishes in a complete, ready-to-play setup.

Yamaha is one of the most respected names in both the acoustic and electronic drum worlds, with a legacy of excellence that includes the legendary Recording Custom, often hailed as the most recorded drum kit in history. While the Rydeen comes at a fraction of the cost of Yamaha’s high-end models, it still carries the brand’s DNA of quality and innovation. Features such as Yamaha’s tom arms with ball joints – found on their professional kits – ensure flexibility and stability, giving new players a premium feel and easy adjustability that helps them develop proper technique from day one.

What truly sets the Rydeen apart from other beginner drum kits is its inclusion of Yamaha 600 series double-braced hardware, built to professional standards for maximum strength and durability. This robust hardware can handle regular practice and live performances with ease. Additionally, each kit comes with a Paiste 101 Cymbal Pack, offering bright, reliable tones from one of the most trusted cymbal makers in the world. With its combination of Yamaha’s craftsmanship, high-quality components and impressive value, the Rydeen series delivers an inspiring and long-lasting drumming experience for beginners and beyond.
