Taurus Lovely is the touring drummer for the Tina Turner Broadway show entitled Tina. For Modern Drummer’s Kit of the Month, Taurus has brought us his Treehouse custom “Crown of Thorns” drum kit. It is an all-Maple shell kit with a 18 x 20 kick drum, two 6 ½ x 14 snare drums (one with wood hoops one with brass hoops,) a 6 1/2 x 10 rack tom, a 13 x 13 floor tom, a 14 x 14 floor tom, and a 16 x 16 floor tom. All the toms have wood hoops, and the floor toms have brass legs. The idea for this drum kit was to represent the crown of thorns that Jesus wore before he was crucified. All the artwork and every detail is hand-painted. Thanks to Derek Sharpe and his team at TreeHouse drums for bringing these drums to life.
