Here they come! The most exciting series of drums TreeHouse has ever produced: the Compact Nesting Kits, or Compact Kits. We’ve never received more calls, interest, and general slaps on the back about anything we’ve ever made! From Broadway to Norway, Hawaii to Higher Learning Institutions, these huge-sounding little kits have really taken off!
What’s going on here is a well-designed version of a “Russian Doll” concept of stacking little drums inside bigger drums. This only works if the kit is playable, sounds good and is truly portable. TreeHouse has come up with a solution which is made of high-quality parts and shells, packs up ridiculously small, looks and sounds great, and doesn’t make the player look like a linebacker on a tricycle.

"So far I have played a bunch of shows on the [Compact Nesting] kit and let me tell you... it is no less than magical. I really had no idea what to expect and it has surpassed anything I could imagine. A full size beast of a kit that fits inside one kick drum case and sounds that awesome! Unreal. Everyone loves the look and the sound is exactly what I need for the bands I play in." |
"I just put together this TreeHouse [Compact Nesting Kit] Drumset and it is freakin' amazing. It is UN - BELIEVEABLE, Jason! This is just so fantastic. I am just beside myself. You guys are freakin' amazing. It took me less than 5 minutes to break down the entire kit and put them into cases. Unbelievable!" |

A Little History
A good friend in NYC shared his wish for a way to get a kit around the Big Apple without having to pay cartage fees but that would still sound great. Taxi cab trunks and subways present urban drummers with issues that we players in Kansas just don’t come across. Making a drumset like this had lots of challenges: only certain size combinations would work, these things had to look and most importantly sound great, and how do you split a shell in half and expect it to come back together right?
