Perfect for both practicing professionals and aspiring students, the BSK2500 features 32, 2.5 octave bells on a sturdy and portable stand, and comes complete with double-sided mallets -- one standard for live performance or recording and one attenuated for lower-volume practice. In addition, the included 8" practice drum pad and 5B wood tip drum sticks replicate the real drum feel and bounce but is quiet enough to be used almost anywhere. The carrying case holds all components and can be used with backpack straps, side or top handles, or hand-cart style, making transportation a snap.
