- Does the Yamaha Rydeen shell pack include cymbals and hardware?
- No. It is a shell pack: drums only. You need to buy cymbals, stands, a hi-hat, a bass pedal, and a throne separately.

- The set is a 22-inch bass drum, 12- and 13-inch rack toms, a 16-inch floor tom, and a 14-inch snare.
- Is the Rydeen good for a beginner?
- Yes. It is one of the better-built entry-level acoustic kits, and the full-size bass drum works for most styles. Budget for heads and hardware on top.
- How does the Rydeen compare with the Yamaha Stage Custom?
