The Yamaha Standard of Quality
The SK-285 student drum kit replaces Yamaha’s most popular and best standard student drum kit SK-275 model. An exceptionally well-crafted student snare drum offers convenience and quality for young players. The SK-285 snare drum kit provides beginner students with an instrument that is easy to play and has a quality sound that is consistent with Yamaha’s more professional snare drums. Rest assured that the new SK-285 upholds Yamaha’s reputation for designing instruments that provide outstanding performance, durability, and quality!
New and Improved
The SK-285 has a few improvements from the SK-275 model. One of the more prevalent upgrades is the implementation of a wood snare drum as seen with professional level snare drums. The SK-285’s unique design reduces carrying weight for students which allows for easier transportation. A simple and durable snare strainer ensures trouble-free use as well as easy adjustments. The internal snare mute is effective for quiet and rattle-free playing. The sturdy and lightweight snare drum stand that comes with the SK-285 is designed to offer convenience and stability as well as make it well-suited to players of all heights and ages. The modular backpack bag is accented with reflective safety stripes and offers plenty of storage space for all of the drum kit’s included items and music.
