What's in the kit? The Essential Kit comes complete with everything you need to get started: Kick pedal with two-tone silicone beater for soft thuds or harder hits 8” snare drum with 2-ply hydraulic head and power dot String-operated 10” hi-hat with fiber string 6” practice pad integrated on the lid Adjustable stool Drum key stored in lid “nest” Pair of 7A hickory sticks The story behind the Zip-Kit Zip-Kit is the brainchild of Dave Wish, Founder of Music Will, a nonprofit organization that has provided free music lessons and instruments to nearly 2,000,000 students across the USA. Dave spent years developing the perfect classroom drum set in his basement workshop. After meeting with the folks at NUVO, the Zip-Kit became a reality! “I invented the Zip-Kit so that entire classrooms of kids could learn to play the drums at the same time,” says Dave. “You just can’t do this with regular drum sets – they’re way too loud, too big and too expensive.” Dave Wish, Founder of Music Will Dave Wish, Founder of Music Will “After playing this, I think it would be a huge asset to up-and-coming young drummers. In a classroom setting, you can have a number of drummers having a lesson together or they can use it as a practice kit on their own.” Ian Young – Head of Contemporary Music and Percussion, St Catherine's School, Bramley “I really like it! My favourite part of the kit is the hi-hat – it sounds very good and considering the way it is connected it has great control. With a group of kids in a class, if one doesn’t quite understand they can glance across to the tutor to see what they are doing, unlike large drum kits where you are often hidden.” Donna Peters – Professional drummer and educator How to use the Zip-Kit Getting started? Zip-Kit Essential Kit includes snare drum, string operated hi-hat, kick pedal, practice pad, adjustable stool and a pair of 7A hickory sticks. Two tone bass drum beater offering quick adjustment between soft thud and hard thump! Grow with your Zip-Kit! Fully height adjustable to suit children from 8 years old all the way up to adult.
