YELLOW! These CS-18s (with an extra cymbal arm) can be yellow! 7x10, 10x14, 16x18, 4½x14; plied maple; satin wax.
Like the Standard CS-205, this 5-piece kit all nests into one case, but this time, the mounted toms are a skosh shallower, there's a wooden audience-side hoop, the air vents are the smaller ⅜ kind and this kit shows off the new CODE drumheads direct from the UK! 7x10, 8x13, 10x16, 16x20, 4½x14; plied maple; satin wax. It is just SO FUN playing around with all the Compact Nesting possibilities! This time, we’re starting with a 16” deep 22” bass and making a 5-piece. Instead of the CS-Standard 4½” deep snare, this project gets a 5½” deep snare. For that to happen, the math says something somewhere else has to get a little shorter, so the floor tom is 9” deep. Since it’s a little shallower than the 10” standard, the concept propagates as the two mounted toms are a couple of inches shorter than standard. Oh, and to spell out just a little more crack, the snare's a 13”. FUN! 6x10, 7x13, 9x16, 16x22, 5½x13; plied maple; satin wax.
What happens if you want a standard-sized floor tom instead of nesting your snare in a TreeHouse Compact Nesting Kit? Here's what it could look like in Swoosh Blue. 8x12, 15x15, 16x20; plied maple; satin wax.
He liked the green and wanted a cymbal arm. PLUS these pix show his choice of some amazing cymbals by Israeli cymbalsmith Netanel Asabag. Classic! 7½x12, 10x16, 16x20, 4½x14; plied maple; satin wax.
Semper Fi again! This time, it's the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing Band who needed two nesting kits to accomplish the missions at hand. 7½x12, 10x16, 16x20, 4½x14; plied maple; satin wax.
Need an extra bracket or 6? That's where the client who ordered this kit was -- and now he has enough to hold up all his cymbal arms! Neat idea too: "5-piece" nesting kit with an extra 16" bass when he wants to use the 10" as a mounted and 13" as a floor tom for those small spaces...always something new! 8x10, 10x13, 14x16, 16x20, 16x16; plied maple; satin wax.
Experimenting a little with the color recipe, this CS-20 has a different look than other Blue projects, Evans heads, and a couple of cymbal arms to lighten the hardware bag. 7½x12, 10x16, 16x20, 4½x14; plied maple; satin wax.
Gotta snare already? Build a Compact Nesting Kit around it! Here's a modified CS-20 where the bass is shallower and the floor tom is deeper. FUN! 8x12, 14x16, 15x20; plied maple; satin wax.
