NATIONALITY: USA 
EDUCATION:  Florida A&M University
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:  Taurus has toured for 12 years with several National and International Broadway show tours such as Swing, Saturday Night Fever, Movin' Out, Jesus Christ Superstar, Legally Blonde, A Christmas Story, and Sister Act The Musical.
My favorite thing about TreeHouse drums is that I can always get my drums made to my specific likings to fit any style of music and or sound that I prefer and they never disappoint. ​
BIOGRAPHY:  Meet Taurus Lovely, a professional performer, and instructor of percussion, from South Bay, FL.
His career on drums began at the age of (5), then Taurus progress to perform during middle and high school in the marching bands.
During High School, Taurus also played in the entire group of honor bands of Palm Beach County, FL. In 1994, his senior year in High School, he was chosen to be the first chair drummer for the Florida Bandmasters Association All State Jazz Band.
Upon completing High School, he enrolled in Florida A&M University (FAMU) as a Music Education Major. During this time, Taurus was the percussion section leader of the world-renowned Florida A&M University Marching “100” Band, under the direction of the legendary Dr. William P. Foster.
In 1998 and 1999, Taurus was chosen to be the leader of the Walt Disney World Collegiate All Star Band. These experiences came under the leadership of Dr. Ron McCurdy, Director of the Thelonious Mont Institute at the University of Southern California. Also at Walt Disney World he had the opportunity to work with Mr. Steve Houghton, a professional drummer performer and instructor, and many more music Educators.
QUOTE:  I'm inspired by just watching and listening to great musicians share their music and all their different approaches to the this universal language we call Music language.

Crown of Thorns
  • 7x10 8-ply maple tom
  • 13x13 8-ply maple floor tom
  • 14x14 8-ply maple floor tom
  • 16x16 8-ply maple floor tom
  • 18x20 8-ply maple bass
  • 7x14 6-ply maple snare
  • 7x14 6-ply maple snare
Wow.  Another fantastic collaboration with Taurus Lovely brings to life Crown of Thorns, a 7-pc maple kit with wood hoops all around, a "Caramel" dyed background with hand-painted oil "Tobacco" thorns (including red drops into the logos!), Brass hardware, and Aquarian heads.  The snare's coloring scheme is reversed with "Tobacco" dye layered over with hand-painted "Caramel" thorns in oil -- did you notice the depth! -- and SOLID 2.5mm brass hoops.  Trick strainers and wee claws on the wood hoops round out the details that'll take this kit on the road with a traveling Broadway musical for years to come!

Mosaic Mirrors
  • 7x13 16-ply maple snare
Over a year and a half of planning and work, over 750 hand-laid pieces of glass, and nearly 350 hours of bench time birthed TreeHouse Drums’ most intricate and difficult project to date. Mosaic Glass Mirror Tiles with Mirrored Goldleaf-backed tiles, Trick strainer, diecast hoops, and custom “cross” lugs on a 16-ply maple shell make this one-of-a-kind instrument perfect for the national tour of Sister Act The Musical.
