A beautiful Concert Tom drumset for Keith, some wrapped drums with internal LEDs, and a kit with a HUGE rockin' 26" ... it's all in the latest TreeHouse Drums newsletter!
Here's a first for me: a Solid (one-ply) drumset built for sale to the public. All the other ones I've done to date were special orders for customers. Here's your chance to get a solid set with some nice upgraded features, skipping the 2-year wait! In standard Bop sizes with a virgin bass, these drums all feature one-ply maple shells with re-rings, solid raw brass center-node tube lugs, chrome hardware elsewhere including diecast hoops and British Drum Co brackets on the toms. To take it one notch further down the unique path, all 10 heads are new undamped “earthtone” calfskin. Wearing a stunning Bordeaux dye under oil/wax finish, these drums are a showpiece! 7x10, 8x12, 14x14, 14x18, 5½x14; solid one-ply maple; satin wax.
OOH! OOH! These are SUPERCOOL!! Inspired by a customer's desire for the smallest, lightest way to play a great kit at a jazz gig, these sizes showed themselves to check off all the boxes! The mounted nests into the floor, they both nest into the bass. Ever the experimentalist, I decided to make two: one with 8-ply shells & 2.3mm hoops and another with 6-ply shells & 1.6mm hoops (this drumset) just to get an idea of how different/same they sound and to see how far apart they'd be on the scale. This one weighs in at 18 lbs for the three nested drums, versus 21.9 lbs for the 8-ply/2.3mm hooped version! Oh, and I worked up a couple of optional 12" snare drums that match -- a "Real" snare and a new "Unreal" one-headed snare with wires under the head (shown with this drumset). It's SHOCKING how big these drums sound! 6x10, 7x13, 8x16, 3¼x12; plied maple; satin wax.

When a big sound isn't big enough...get a kit w/14 mounted, deep 18 floor, and 26 bass. There. Now it's big enough. 10x14, 18x18, 14x26, 6½x14; plied maple; satin wax.
