WHD Genesis Compact Drum Kit, Blue Sparkle Overview
Play the drums without the bulk. An accessible way to start your drumming education, the WHD Genesis Compact Drum Kit is a compact, four-piece drum set designed for simple, portable use. Thanks to the kit's smaller drum shell profiles, its easier to transport than a standard-size kit - keeping the weight down in favour of portability. Ideal for learners practising at home in a small room, as well as gigging drummers with limited space in the back of their cars. Typically, this is a jazz-style configuration, but buskers will also appreciate how easily it can be transported.
These are drums that produce rich, highly resonant sounds. Their 6-ply shells are made from the poplar wood. Known for providing boosted top-end and snappy projection, poplar is perfect for making your kit roar. You'll never want for focused and punchy drum sounds here. The multi-angle tom mount allows you to achieve the perfect position, catered to your playing preference. With a stunning, blue sparkle wrap finish, WHD's Compact Drum Kit imparts an eye-catching aesthetic that will accompany your performance. Just add cymbals and stands!
Please note: cymbals, stands and accessories sold separately.

An end to car Tetris!
Being a drummer on the move can be difficult. Vehicle load-ups with your bandmates can often descend into tedious gear Tetris. Thankfully, you'll have no problem fitting the WHD Genesis Compact Drum Kit into the back of a car! Even smaller hatchbacks. Look forward to gigs and tours with minimum logistical fuss. This kit is designed specifically for busy players who require portability. Focus on your playing and nothing else.
Small spatial footprint
At 16" x 14", the Genesis Compact Kit's bass drum is the size of a typical floor tom, meaning the kit's overall footprint is much lesser than a standard configuration. But despite it's smaller design, the bass drum also comes with a raiser designed to increase sound projection and resonance. A complete bass drum experience, just from a shell that's almost half the size. As well as the raiser, the bass drum's spurs include memory locks - saving valuable time during repeat set-ups.
Portable power and rich resonance
WHD's Compact Kit might comprise a smaller configuration and weight profile than a standard drum kit, but there's no compromise on its sonic power. The kit's poplar shells provide boosted top-end, tonal clarity and clear projection. In fact, the shallow profile shared by the floor tom and kick drum actually adds even more punch. These drums will excel in the jazz, fusion and pop genres. Whether it's onstage indoors our out, or on a busy busking street, your audience will enjoy these pleasing drum sounds in any setting.
