Sam is LOVING his new TreeHouse Tupan.

And we are LOVING his band, The King's Busketeers!

​We just couldn't leave out our Greek and Bulgarian friends!  Check out this 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Made in USA Tupan featuring 16 Lugs made of 6061 Aluminum.  This configuration allows for independent tuning of each head while maintaining a traditional rope tuning system.  Everything about this drum is Made in the USA including the cold-rolled steel hoops and kernmantle rope down to the American-grown cotton hoop wrap fabric which was milled and bolted in the USA. 7¾x20; 20th Anniversary Limited Edition 9-Ply Shell: 7 core plies of Maple sandwiched between inner- and outer-plies of vertical-grain, plain sliced, slip-matched Walnut; satin wax.

​Offering up plenty of low end in a slightly smaller package, this skinny tupan features rope-tensioned heads over a rich burgundy aniline dye.

So you want a purple tupan? So did this customer… 16x24; plied maple; satin wax.

​Need a Tambora Sinaloense for your Mexican Banda Sinaloense, Tamborazo Zacatecano or Duranguense? This bass drum features a fun 2-color dyed look on a thin Maple shell with satin wax finish, a thin Maple shell with rounded Bearing Edges to bring out all the lows, all chrome hardware, 14 lugs per side with T-rods, metal hoops, and cymbal holder on top. It includes an authentic hand-made felt mallet (Bolillo Temo), top cymbal handle and sounds HUGE! 24x24; plied maple; satin wax.

​I asked Jason about creating a drum that matched the look of my kit, and provides a deep, resonant boom that could approximate an Odaiko/Taiko drum sound in my acoustic kit, without the weight, space and expense of the real thing. We discussed shell diameter, thickness and depth, kit placement, and heads selection to arrive at the design that made most sense. 

The result is beautiful, fits perfectly in the kit, and sounds SO DARNED GOOD! In my big acoustic kit (22 pieces), all made by TreeHouse, this beast of a drum is my current favorite. It allows me to add a massive bottom end to some arrangements, add taiko-like elements to others, or just create a brooding tonal atmosphere. So much fun!!!!
