Tom fun!
Expand your sound with the Zip-Kit 8” Tom. Fully tunable using the key provided with your kit. Includes 2-ply hydraulic head with power dot.
Articulate!
The Zip-Kit Tom includes our custom-design, versatile Articulated Arm. When attached to your Essential Kit post, it provides a 3-axis adjustment giving you the flexibility to set up your drum in the way that’s perfect for you so you can express yourself with ease.
In case you wondered
The Zip-Kit Tom is super-durable but for added protection during transit, we included this durable zipper case.
Too loud?
The Tom comes with an optional foam disc to mute your sound. It might be a small drum but it has a mighty sound so this comes in handy when you are practicing. Protect your family and neighbor relationships!
The Zip-Kit Tom can be added to your Essential Kit to create an expanded sound as you develop your technique. The Tom can be pitch-tuned using your Essential Kit Drum key or any standard Phillips screwdriver (PH2). There’s room on your kit for at least 3 toms. Get creative with your set up and send us some photos! We love to see how our products are being used. If you need to give your neighbors or family a break, we have included a foam mute disc that you can insert under the head to reduce volume.
Yes it is an acoustic kit but of course if you want more volume or effects, you could mic it up.
Yes, it is uniquely adjustable so can be used by a child as young as 8 years old as well as a fully grown adult. The “posts” can be adjusted to a suitable height and the stool can also be adjusted for height.
Yes, we never forget about “lefties”. To set up with the hi-hat on the right side and the kick pedal on the left, simply rotate the pedal plates through 180 degrees and sit on the other side!! If you really want to convert to a left-handed kit, you can even release the four post screws under the “feet” and then rotate the whole of the top frame and lid by 180 degrees. This way, the lid still opens conveniently for the lefty!
Yes, the Zip-Kit is very well suited for this. The “Essential Kit” will enable you to learn hi-hat, kick pedal and snare skills. It even has a practice pad for quieter practice when the neighbors have complained!!
The complete “Essential Kit” weighs 12.8 lbs (5.8 Kg) including the stool.
The Zip-Kit is quieter but it still packs a punch!! The quieter kit makes it uniquely suitable for practicing at home as well as for small acoustic gigs where space and volume are a consideration.
The kit comes with a foam pad mute for the snare drum and the cymbals are quieter than normal cymbals.
Yes! You can purchase some neat accessories including extra toms and cymbals. These each come with an “articulated arm” so you can set them up exactly as you want them.
Yes, you can fit all of the “Essential Kit” as well as an extra 2 toms and a cymbal.
Yes, it is uniquely suited for this. You can teach multiple students simultaneously and it’s not TOO loud and also, your students can easily carry their Zip-Kit home to practice after the class.

The drum heads are tunable just like “real” drums. You can use the provided drum key or use another Phillips type screwdriver. You might want to watch a video about tuning drums to learn the best technique.
We sell replacement drum heads but you can also use any other brand 8” drum head.
Yes, you can but not too huge!! The kit is designed for relatively light weight mute cymbals.
The Zip-Kit is rated for ages 8+.
