​Brass EVERYTHING over that gorgeous bronze shell… yum! This one is ready to play! 6½x14; hammered bronze.

​Dude.  I mean...dude.  This really needs to be on the cover of the catalog--I really need to make a catalog.  Designed especially for a percussionist, this kit puts it all together: as with all nesting kits, this features removable "lids," but these lids can be used as frame drums with thumb notches; toms with lids top and bottom for tons of options (like using concert toms + frame drums at the same time); a bass drum that doubles as a tupan with a rope-tuned treble head; custom art tucked away here-n-there; Red accents on Black...this thing just goes on! 9x10, 10x13, 15x16, 16x20; plied maple; satin wax.

Kelly White and his TreeHouse Drums have been busy making music with Maria The Mexican.  This review from a recent show features great photos, and a video of a new tune!

​Here we have the standard CS-18 Compact Nesting Kit, but we subbed out the 10” mounted tom for an 11”.  YES- an 11”!  If you need that extra depth of tone without going bigger all around, the CS-18.11 is for you!  7⅓x11, 10x14, 16x18, 4½x14; plied maple; satin wax.

​They're here--the nesting answer for traditional Straight Ahead players! Since a nested configuration requires at least 3" of difference in diameter between nested drums, a 12" mounted tom doesn't fit into a 14" floor tom. Some players feel that the 10" mounted doesn't provide the depth of tone they need from a first tom, so in a nod towards traditional sizes, meet the CS-BOP featuring an 11" mounted tom into a 14" floor tom that's deeper and whose bass is shallower than our popular Standard CS-18 configuration. Also featuring as Standard is an audience-side wood hoop on the bass.  Now carry your Bop kit in just two cases: toms-n-bass in one, and your favorite (deep?) snare in another. This kit also features a ride cymbal arm on the bass.  Swing It!! P.S. another fun detail is that we've maintained the 2:3 ratio seen in an 8"x12" tom here--the 11" tom is 7⅓" deep. 7⅓x11, 12x14, 14x18; plied maple; satin wax.

​INTRODUCING: (...drumroll, please...) TreeHouse's FIRST Compact Nesting Kit with an 11" mounted tom!!  10" too small fer ya; 12" doesn't nest in a 14"; how's about split the diff and go with an 11"?  As long as you don't mind some hardware and head choice restrictions, this idea could sit under your hands at next month's gigs!  This customer elected for the options of a shallower bass with audience-side wooden hoop and deeper floor to get a little more authentic Jazz sound--these three drums in a case + snare in a different case = much space still saved! 7½x11, 13x14, 14x18; plied maple, satin wax.

​WOW!  2 years in the making, this custom kit really is a dream come true!  Designed to spread low end all over the venue with extra deep, Solid One-Ply Bubinga shells, this project came about after the customer bought a Solid One-Ply Bubinga snare with brass hardware a few years ago.  He wanted to move forward with a matching kit, using tube lugs, diecast hoops, and Gauger mounts.  BOOM! 16x13, 16x14, 18¾x16, 22x18, 22¾x22, 5½x14; solid one-ply bubinga; satin wax.

​Dreams really do come true!  This project reflects about a year-n-a-half of the artist's planning.  Every detail, down to the red painted logos, diecast snare hoops and bearing edges are just the way he wants it.  NEAT!  9x10, 10x12, 14x14, 16x16, 20x22, 7x14; plied maple; satin wax.
