Yamaha RDP2F5CPG Rydeen Shell Set Champagne Glitter

Yamaha RDP2F5CPG Rydeen Shell Set — 5-Piece Poplar Pack in Champagne Glitter

The Yamaha RDP2F5CPG Rydeen Shell Set in Champagne Glitter is a 5-piece acoustic drum shell pack built for beginner and intermediate drummers who want a Yamaha kit at an entry-level price. Inspired by the Japanese dragon of lightning, the Rydeen series combines 6-ply poplar shells and genuine Yamaha hardware for a musical sound right out of the box. This model is suitable for those starting out or seeking a complete, stage-ready shell pack with a proven Yamaha background.

Standout Features of the Rydeen Shell Pack

What sets this pack apart at its tier is Yamaha's own tom and pipe clamp system — two CL-940LB ball clamp mounts with 22.2 mm pipe clamps — in place of generic third-party hardware. The P3-style bass drum head with a double-film edge produces a tighter, more focused kick sound than most entry-level shells.

Shell Construction and Materials

Every drum's voice is shaped by its shell material and ply count. Rydeen's 100% poplar construction produces a warm, woody tone that adapts across genres from jazz to rock.

• Shell Material: Poplar — warm, full, articulate tone with a woody character
• Ply Count: 6-ply (7.2 mm) — balanced thickness supporting tuning stability
• Steel triple-flanged hoops on snare and toms, with matching metal hoops on the bass drum, deliver durability for frequent stage use.

Drum Sizes and Configuration

The RDP2F5CPG features a 22" bass drum setup for a deep, full low end ideal for rock, fusion, and live performances. The 16" floor tom and 10"/12" rack toms round out the configuration for melodic and powerful fills.

• Bass Drum: 22" x 16" — deep, punchy kick with P3-style head for tight response
• Floor Tom: 16" x 15" — provides resonance and low-end for fills and melodic lines
• Rack Toms: 12" x 8" and 10" x 7" — compact sizes for articulate, fast response
• Snare Drum: 14" x 5.5" matching poplar wood snare — completes the set with a full snare tone

Hardware and Setup

With a 22.2 mm standard, Yamaha system hardware means the included clamps pair easily with Yamaha-compatible stands and accessories. Flexible positioning for all toms is possible thanks to two tom holders and a pipe clamp.

• Tom Clamps: 2 x CL-940LB ball clamp mounts — fully adjustable angles for various playing styles
• Tom holder is included in the box, while cymbals, stands, and bass drum pedal are sold separately for custom setup.
• Hardware Standard: 22.2 mm Yamaha system — compatible with Yamaha hardware ecosystem

Who the Rydeen RDP2F5CPG Is For
