​All the low end of a 22, paired with the portability of being a Compact Nesting Kit…this is a beast of a drumset!  8x10, 9x13, 10x16, 16x22, 4½x14; plied maple; satin wax.

​5½+ years making Compact Nesting Kits and there are still new configurations to create!  Here we have a 10" going into a 13" then that 13" plus a 13" snare snuggle into a deeper 16" floor tom which all goes into the 20" bass.  Oh, and a dark blue looks cool too! 7x10, 8x13, 14x16, 16x20, 4¾x13; plied maple; satin wax.

​Boy-o-Boy!  This one's a stunner!  How's about a wooden-hooped snare on a compact kit with a couple of cymbal arms tossed into the mix...oh, and the floor tom's floatin' over the floor!  7½x12, 10x16, 16x20, 4½x14; plied maple; satin wax.

​The fun of helping customers design their own!  Here's a first: 11" tom in a 15" tom in a 20" bass (with a Vintage Cymbal Arm) plus a girthy 10-ply 13" snare on the side. 7½x11, 14x15, 15x20, 5½x13; plied maple; satin wax.

​Take a standard CS-20 Compact Nesting Kit, add some color, a player side “kick-stand” for enhanced balance when flying the snare drum a long distance off the bass drum, and then toss it in a case and send it up to the Alaska for funky moose beats.  Yeah, that’s a fun way to spend the day!  7½x12, 10x16, 16x20, 4½x14; plied maple; satin wax.  

​Yet another tweak: check out what a Compact Nesting Kit looks like with Bowtie Lugs!  7x8, 8x12, 10x15, 16x18, 4½x14; plied maple; satin wax.

​Purple just ROCKS! and SWINGS! and WHATEVER ELSE the Louisburg school system throws at these drums--they're so versatile, they can take it! 7x10, 7½x12, 14x14, 15x20, 6x14; plied maple; satin wax.

​Here we have yet another version of a Compact Nesting 5-pc called a CS-205CC.  The last two "C"s each stand for "Cymbal Arm" as this kit sports two cymbal arms on the bass.  What a swell way to keep down the weight on your hardware bag!  8x10, 9x13, 10x16, 16x20, 4½x14; plied maple; satin wax.

​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.

​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.
