Student Bell Kits: The Go-to Percussion Set for Beginners

Are you a percussion student just getting started in concert band or private lessons? Maybe a band parent looking to set up your student for success at sectionals? A student bell kit gives you the tools to take your education further.

Why Are Student Percussion Kits So Popular?

Band directors don’t always issue percussion instruments the way they do other instruments in the ensemble. This can make it tricky for a budding percussionist to get the most out of their practice hours (trust us, you do NOT want to work through Alfred’s Drum Method on your family’s kitchen table).

Student bell kits give concert and mallet percussionists the instruments they’ll be spending the most time learning on: typically a snare drum and a portable keyboard instrument, such as a glockenspiel (bells) or xylophone. Add standardized sticks and mallets, and these kits offer a strong starting point for any aspiring percussion student building their chops.

What Does a Percussion Bell Kit Include?

Sweetwater’s bell kit percussion packages vary by price and scope, but most student percussion kits include some combination of the following instruments and accessories:

• Snare drum: One of the most common concert percussion instruments, the snare drum is used in symphonic music, drumlines, percussion ensembles, and drum set–centered jazz and pep bands.
• Bells or xylophone: Whether you’re a percussionist in the concert band or the front ensemble, it pays to know your way around a mallet percussion instrument. That’s why many student bell kits include either a portable 2.5-octave glockenspiel (also called concert bells) with metal bars or a similar-scale xylophone with synthetic or wooden bars. These instruments provide a foundation for most other keyboard percussion instruments and can be heard in music ranging from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker to Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know.”
• Practice pad: Quieter than a snare drum, these portable practice tools slip easily into a backpack and are useful for learning technique, building stamina, and working through rudiments.
• Stand: Many kits include a basket stand or combination stand to raise instruments off the floor and position them at a comfortable playing height.
• Case: Rolling and backpack-style cases help transport your bell kit between the band room, practice space, and back home again.
• Sticks and mallets: Kits from classroom percussion brands like Pearl, Yamaha, Vic Firth, and others may include standard drumsticks and bell mallets to get beginning percussionists playing right away.
