Shell packs only include the drum shells. This means any hardware or cymbals would have to be purchased separately if you don’t already own them. Some shell packs include a snare drum, so it’s worth keeping an eye out and checking exactly what shells are included. Shell packs are a great choice for intermediate/advanced drummers looking to upgrade their drums whilst keeping their existing cymbals and hardware. Smaller hardware/accessory items associated with the shells themselves will always be included. This includes hoops, drumheads, floor tom legs, bass drum spurs, and tom mounts (if applicable).
