The Yamaha Rydeen 5-piece shell pack is an entry-to-mid-level acoustic kit built around a 20-inch bass drum, with 10- and 12-inch rack toms, a 16-inch floor tom and a matching 14 x 5.5-inch wood snare. Its 6-ply poplar shells (7.2mm) give a warm, balanced tone with solid low end, and the rack toms hang from genuine Yamaha double tom gear with 7/8-inch pipe clamps borrowed from the pro lines. The 20-inch bass makes it easier to move and tune for smaller stages than a 22-inch kit. It suits advancing students and gigging drummers who want a dependable second kit, though it is a shell pack only, so cymbals, stands, pedals and a throne add to the total outlay.

Owners generally rate the Rydeen as a solid first serious kit, praising its build and hardware for the money and its warm, punchy tone. Some find the stock snare and heads underwhelming and note that the full setup cost climbs once hardware and cymbals are added.
The Yamaha Rydeen is a 5-piece drum shell pack with a 20-inch bass drum. It comes in a Black Glitter wrap finish. The kit includes the drums and tom mounting hardware only.
The shells are 6-ply poplar, 7.2mm thick. The rack toms are suspended on Yamaha double tom gear with 7/8-inch pipe clamps, the same size used on Yamaha's highest-end professional series drum sets. The hoops are triple-flanged steel, and the lugs are low-mass separate lugs.
