Manu Katche Hip Gig Drum Set

The Manu Katche Hip Gig Drum Set was inspired by Manu Katche's question, "Why don't you make a real drum kit for kids?" It caught the ears of Yamaha's percussion designers and they took off with the project. A compact drum kit, it is designed for smaller players, but is no toy. It has a 16" x 16", 9-ply bass drum; 6-ply, 13" x 13" floor tom; 10" x 7" tom; and 5" x 12" snare all made of quality Philippine mahogany. The Air Seal System produces perfectly round shells with powerful tone. The floating bass drum system lets you adjust the height on the pedal side of the bass drum to ensure the beater makes contact at the center of the head for maximum tone. Of course, once you use a Hip Gig kit you'll never think of a standard drum kit as portable ever again. Cymbals not included.

Air Seal System for superior shells

The use of the Air Seal System is responsible for the superior quality found in Yamaha drum shells. Select woods are cut into plies, positioned with staggered diagonal seams, and sealed together with evenly distributed air pressure. The resulting shells are perfectly round and of uniform thickness delivering superior tone quality and exceptional durability.
