Bell kit (glockenspiel)
Metal bars with a bright, ringing tone that sustains. Reads the same treble notation as piano, so it doubles as theory practice.

CB Percussion8674 Percussion Kit with Bag
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A bells-plus-drum starter kit with a bag, built for school band percussionists who need both mallet and rudiment practice in one purchase.
Strong match
Who this is for
- First-year school band percussion students
- Home practice on both bells and drum parts
- Parents buying one kit instead of two instruments
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who only need a snare and never read mallet parts
- Advanced percussionists wanting a full concert xylophone
- Anyone needing gig-grade hardware for regular performance
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Concert drum component
Covers rudiment and stick-control work, so the student can practice both halves of a band percussion book.
Detail 03
Combination kit format
One case covers the two things band directors ask for, instead of buying and hauling separate instruments.
Detail 04
Included bag
Handles the school-to-home trip. Soft bags protect against scuffs, not against being dropped or stacked under gear.
Detail 05
Around $300
Student-tier pricing. Bars and hardware are built to a budget and will feel lighter than school-owned concert gear.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your director's required kit list before ordering — schools often specify a model

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the kit my kid needs for middle school band?
It covers the usual bells-and-drum requirement, but directors often specify a model or required accessories. Check the school's list first.
02What is the difference between a bell kit and a xylophone?
Bells use metal bars for a bright, ringing sound; xylophones use wood bars for a drier, shorter tone. Beginner band parts are normally written for bells.
03Does it come with a stand?
Kits in this class are sold as a playable setup with a carrying bag. Confirm stand height suits the player, since student stands vary.
04Can an adult beginner use it?
Yes. Nothing about it is sized for children specifically, and the bells are a practical way to learn to read music while practicing sticking.
