Description: TreeHouse Custom Drums 4-Piece Plied Maple Cocktail Kit Cocktail kits have been around for over 65 years. They were tall 16” floor toms with snare wires inside the upper head. Then tall 14” floor toms showed up with separate 14” snare drums hovering above them. Both of these ideas were interesting, but rather impracticable considering how much snare buzz you got from playing the bass. Next came an idea that’s become quite popular--a wee snare on the side. Ballads and brushes just aren’t so well suited to 10” snares, though. Lots of varieties on the theme include a side tom, some cymbals here-n-there, etc, all designed to give the player a compact instrument that is played while standing. Enter TreeHouse’s version. First off, notice how a separate snare hovers over the bass, but check out the sizing: a 15” bass with a 13” snare offset over the bass. The idea was to maximize playability, sound quality and efficiency of space while minimizing snare buzz. An experiment. To knock out even more sympathetic snare wire vibration, you could swing the snare around off of the bass for a more traditional 5-pc approach using the top of the bass as a floor tom. Next come the toms. The standard offering includes an 8” mounted tom and a 10” mounted tom. What you don’t see from the outside is the effort to make these two near-sized drums sound as far apart from each other as possible: the 8” has a thicker (8-ply) shell with sharp bearing edges and single-ply heads while the 10” has a thin (6-ply) shell with rounded bearing edges and double-ply heads. Another experiment. Survey says: They Worked! The buzz is still there, but tolerable and--in context with a band--pretty unnoticeable. The toms sound far apart from each other and have serious sustain. Added in is some great adjustable Gibraltar hardware so now you’re ready to sound great on the tiniest of stages! Includes 4 drums, all the mounting hardware for the drums, one cymbal arm, one hi-hat arm, and one up-firing bass drum pedal. (Cymbals are sold separately.)

TREEHOUSE CONDITION CATEGORIES NEW: Drums that have been built new, pictured, and put in boxes for shipping. In some instances, we make brief demo videos and sound samples of new drums, so you might find a few stickmarks. New drums come with our full manufacturer’s warranty. NEW-DEMO: Drums that have been on display on our retail floor. Folks have been allowed to test play--but not abuse, but the drums haven’t been out of the store. You might notice a few stick marks and a smattering of 100-year-old-building dust, and you'll get the benefit of the full new warranty. BACKLINE: Drums that have been played on stage. One of TreeHouse's main ways of getting the word out is to put drums in the hands of high school and college students on stage at jazz festivals, providing a kit for that benefit concert, or renting a kit to a touring band for an evening's show. All BACKLINE items share the facts that they've been well-maintained in-house, and they come with our warranty as though they were new, excluding minor cosmetic signs of use, for less fundage than new builds. USED: Drums that have been owned by someone else in the past. Although "Used" can mean something cared for like a newborn baby or an unplayed/returned gift all the way to barely salvageable, all USED drums share the fact that they don't come with our manufacturer's warranty.ABOUT US Founded by Derek Sharp (D#) in 2000, TreeHouse Custom Drums has been producing world-class professional instruments straight out of the Drumgeon in Topeka, Kansas.
