Personalize YOUR Compact Nesting Kit! Add on any of the following hardware or upgraded features to better suit your application. All Add-Ons are available at additional cost.

Cymbal ArmsNeed it there in one trip? Add on some cymbal arms, then once you visit your local army surplus store for a long backpack, you really can get all your drumset hardware on shoulder straps on your back! Note: these Add-On Arms are priced complete and installed on your new TreeHouse drum with the appropriate mounting brackets. Choose from a variety of designs and placements (the captions are just for clarity and identification purposes: use whichever to mount whatever wherever!).

LifterThe Standard Compact Kit which uses an 18” bass works just fine on the ground, or you may want to add a lifter. (Note: for configurations featuring a 16” bass, the BD Lifter is a Standard Feature.)

Extra Long Floor Tom Legs

Wooden Front HoopSome words about the front of the bass drum--lots of reasons why the front hoop is metal. First, it’s cheaper for us and therefore cheaper for you. 8 tom lugs cost a bit less than 8 bass lugs, as well a tom hoop with short rods run less than a wooden hoop with 8 claws and longer tension rods. Also, when you need to change the front head, tom heads are cheaper than bass drum heads. Along those lines, not all places carry 16” and 18” bass drum heads. Second, labor to craft another wooden front hoop is more than just installing a metal hoop. Third, the drum as a whole is shorter with the metal hoops. Fourth, a metal hoop with shorter rods weigh less than a wooden hoop w/claws and longer rods. All that being said, TreeHouse can certainly make these kits with matching wooden front hoops for you; it happens to be the most-requested Add-On Feature.

Logo
Also, standard is a white or black TreeHouse vinyl transfer on the audience bass head. You can upgrade to the TreeHouse shield logo for a more vintage look. Please note: vinyl transfers work well on smooth or Fiberskyn heads; they don't like coated heads very well. Let us know if you need more for replacement heads, cases or car windows!

Canister
Stay Tuned! We’re working through some prototype ideas to bring to market a nice canister to hold all of you or all of your hardware.
