​Independent Tuning is the focus of what's going on here -- loosen one side and the other stays put.  That means you can scream your "Teks" on the treble while still rearranging bowels with the bass side.  This one features a built-in mic and all black ropes on natural oil/wax finish. 16x22; plied maple; satin wax.

​If ya just can't get enough low-end, move up (down?) to a 28" diameter.  Never mind it gets tricky to hike very far into the woods with such a thing...you'll be the heartbeat at the campfire when you get there! 16x28; plied maple; satin wax.

​'Cause sometimes your Alpine band needs its logo custom-painted on the front of your leader's Tupan shell!  This Tupan features a wooden hoop for the bass side with a metal ring on the treble side.  "Framed" around the painted band logo is an organic-shaped burned trough so that the dye of the shell color stays away from the paint.  Can't wait to see these guys on stage!  14x18; plied maple; satin wax.

​Here's another easy-to-reach Tupan, super handy for marching down the road! 10x18; plied maple; satin wax.

Where the Mosquito serves as the State Bird, this drum is Tearing It Up in the Bayou!  Outfitted with the epic customer-provided, "reliced" (mauled on an anvil with a hammer then dragged thru swampmud) strap eyelets--which are strong enough to haul your Jeep out of the lake--the new owner of this splendid instrument will have no trouble strapping this drum over-the-shoulder.  Made with a comfy 15" width, this drum is easy to reach around throughout the whole gig.  15x22; plied maple; satin wax.

Here's a view of a Tupan with another version of our snazzy new-ish Independent Tuning.  This time, the "belts" down the center are of the same rope as the rest of the tuning ropes.  Boom!  15x20; plied maple; satin wax.

When your customer sends you a custom art head to install on his TreeHouse Tupan… yeah, that’s sweet!

This beautiful custom order tupan features hand-burned zig zags and stars, rope-tensioned heads, and an internal mic.  What a sweet drum!  10x18; plied maple; satin wax.

Thought I’d try something a little different with the finish here: same as usual, but a little more peach fuzz lifting off of the wood grain—a little “earthier.”  Still plenty of low end, without backbreaking weight, for your parading around! 8¾x20; plied maple; matte wax.

Here's your chance to get into a Tupan without loosing too much storage room in the car trunk.  At just 10" in depth, this Natural Maple drum has plenty of low-end and punch for all your dancing/parading/teenagerwaking needs and wants, plus it features a great new Evans Calftone head on the bass side.
