What's up with Up-Cycled drums? As TreeHouse Drums' owner owns a drum-n-guitar store, sometimes used pieces come in or he gets partial sets from damaged freight claims. Sometimes new drums' shells are damaged but the hardware is 100%; sometimes clean used hardware just gets lonely sleeping in parts bins. This kind of drumset has the same attention to detail and 100% quality guarantee like normal for typical new TreeHouse Drumsets but with a few parts from random sources. We're not talking about the broken toys crawling out from under Sid's bed, but A-Quality stuff that ought to be out there in the world; pay less for great one-of-a-kind drums!
Oh, and what's going on with "Starter Dough" as a color? The term comes from pulling aside a bit of dough for later or for your neighbor when you're making sourdough bread. This bread uses the goodies building up in the starter lump instead of new yeast to rise the new bread. Over time, the starter might take on a local flavor. Over the years, there would sometimes be a bit of quality expensive aniline dye in the bottom of the jar after coloring a drumset. Kept "just in case, some day," these remnants aren't enough for a full project, but mixed together, they make the same high-quality colorings TreeHouse is known for, but with recipes and proportions that can never be reproduced. Like a starter dough, these remnants get tossed in a jar and can be used for future projects. Instead of wasting this stuff down the drain, how's about a unique one-of-a-kind color for your bargain drumset? 7x10, 12x12, 13x13, 9¾x20, 6½x13; plied maple; satin wax.

Here’s another TreeHouse Tupan, ready for making music. The low side (with a rounded bearing edge) gives a full bass boom when played with a mallet in the middle of the Fiberskyn head while the treble side (with a sharp bearing edge) chirps out a bright “tek” when a long switch is played across the Renaissance head. BOOM TEK! 16x20; plied maple; satin wax.
Can you see how much lighter these are than normal? Your back would notice. Although there's an added cymbal arm, the thinner mounted tom shell and thinner tom hoops make this one even lighter yet! 7x10, 9x13, 15x16, 4½x12; plied maple; satin wax.
Just had to be sure that this wrap looks good on a drum -- hard to tell laying flat. This little guy's got it all with a plied maple shell holding our Bowtie Piccolo Lugs dressed up with a Beer Tap strainer/butt setup. 4x14; plied maple; Red Satin Flame Wrap.

It always makes our day when we hear positive feedback from a customer. Jim recently received his TreeHouse drumset and sent us a fun story and pictures to go with it. Check it out!
I am super happy. I couldn’t be happier with anything else. TreeHouse is my preferred choice. Thank you, Derek.
Fun! Jim Yet another configuration of Academy Concert Toms, this time 8-10-12-14! 7x8, 8x10, 10x12, 12x14; plied maple; satin wax.
