Description

The Pocket Kit was developed to solve one of the biggest problems facing young beginners – full-size drum kits can simply be too large to play comfortably. Its smaller shells and appropriately sized hardware allow younger drummers to position the kit correctly, reach each drum comfortably and develop good playing habits from their first lesson. Despite its compact dimensions, this is a genuine acoustic drum set designed to provide the sound, response and experience of playing a real instrument.

Everything required to begin playing is supplied in one package, including a matching snare drum, hi-hat stand, snare stand, cymbal arm, bass drum pedal, drum throne, drumsticks and cymbals. This makes the Pocket Kit an excellent first setup for parents who want a straightforward package without having to select additional hardware and accessories separately.

Drum Configuration:
  • 16″ Bass Drum
  • 10″ Rack Tom
  • 13″ Floor Tom
  • 12″ Snare Drum
Included Hardware & Accessories:
  • Bass drum pedal
  • Hi-hat stand
  • Snare drum stand
  • Cymbal arm
  • Drum throne
  • Hi-hat cymbals
  • Crash/ride cymbal
  • Pair of drumsticks
  • Drum key
  • Drum heads
  • Introductory drum lessons
Built for Young Drummers:
  • Smaller dimensions provide a comfortable setup for children aged 4-10
  • Proper acoustic drums provide a more authentic experience than a toy drum kit
  • Adjustable hardware allows the setup to be adapted as the player develops
  • Complete package removes the need to purchase essential hardware and cymbals separately
  • Compact footprint makes it well suited to bedrooms, practice spaces and music lessons
Ideal For:
  • Children aged approximately 4-10
  • First-time drummers
  • Home practice
  • Drum lessons and music education
  • Parents looking for a complete, purpose-built first acoustic drum kit
