Introducing the Nuvo Zip-Kit Essential compact drum kit

The Nuvo Zip-Kit Essential Kit is a fully acoustic, compact drum set designed to go wherever your music takes you. Everything packs neatly into the bass drum, making it easy to store, transport, and set up — perfect for home practice, schools, or even for those taking their drumming on the road.

Despite its compact size, it contains all the essential components needed to learn and play drums from first principles, including snare, string-operated hi-hat, kick pedal, practice pad, adjustable stool, and sticks.

Underlining the Zip-Kit's quality and education suitability, Nuvo are offering 3 Year Parts Warranty upon registration. Zip-Kits are built to last and easy to repair, so register here to safeguard your drums for the future.

Compact, versatile and portable

Featuring an 8” height-adjustable snare, a string-operated 10” hi-hat, 90-degree kick pedal, and adjustable stool, the Essential Kit is ideal for drummers working in small spaces or moving frequently between lessons, rehearsal spaces, or gigs. The included foam mute pad keeps the snare at a comfortable volume for practice without disturbing others, while the two padded backpack-style carry straps make transporting the kit easy and comfortable.

Adjustable and expandable

The Zip-Kit grows with the player. Fully height-adjustable drums and cymbals are suitable for children from 8 years old, right through to adults. Four telescoping posts allow you to add extra toms and cymbals when you’re ready to expand your kit — components you can find here! The kit can also be configured for left-handed players in seconds by repositioning the pedals and hi-hat.

Durable and uniquely suited to the classroom

The NUVO Zip-Kit is designed to withstand the demands of regular classroom use. Its robust construction, simplified hardware and integrated design reduce the risk of damage while making setup and storage straightforward for teachers and students alike. With fewer loose components and a compact, self-contained structure, the Zip-Kit supports frequent use, quick transitions and reliable performance, making it a practical and long-lasting solution for busy music departments.

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

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN 😊
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 3 Panel
I purchased RANTILA 3 Panel Room Divider, 6 Ft Tall Folding Privacy Screen Freestanding Room Partition Wall Dividers, 102''W x 20''D x 71''H, Grey. For outdoor use on my patio is perfect . PRIVACY!!! YAY! It was packaged very carefully. There were no missing parts. Instructions were there but I still had to use the video visually. A few screws would not screw in. So I used a hammer with a few good taps that helped using the screw driver. 😊 It was easy putting it together following the directions. Everything is well made. Love the height, functionality and it’s definitely light it works. Thank you

It’s really pretty decent except for one thing.
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 4 Panel, Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 4 Panel
I bought two of these for my basement and they do look great. They were easy to assemble and I’m happy with them. The problem is that the stitching on the fabric panels are almost the size of a machine basting stitch (which for non sewers means large temporary stitches). Because the panels are tight by design, the stitches had already started to come undone before I could finish assembling everything. Fortunately I can sew and I reinforced all the panels. I had to take the first ones back off the poles to do them but I did the second set before assembling. It’s really not a bad product for the money. It’s quality fabric and the design itself looks great. The stitching looks fine but it’s just not substantial enough for the purpose it is supposed to serve. I can’t imagine why it be sewn so insufficiently. I was able to resolve my issue because I can sew. I wasn’t planning on sewing nor did I really have the time. I could have made it myself but I didn’t want to and that is why I purchased this. I ended up using valuable time. The really unfortunate thing is, I have no other complaints. This is a manufacturing problem.

Inexpensive walls.

We had a hot request for a workstation in the warehouse with some privacy. These have worked great. Easy to assemble. They are lightweight and stable. This was an inexpensive solution that looks professional. Our client loved it.

Dont wait! Assemble right away! Just in case you need to return it.
Color: Black, Size: 22" - 4 Panel
Ok, I like the idea of this but the assembly is frustrating. One side lined up perfectly with the holes however, the small bars that connect the screen to base is not lining up. I think it's do the fabric the screen or divider is made of. It's not stretchy. I brought this months ago and just opened it today. I'm upset and don't even think returning it is possible. If the material was a bit longer or stretchy to give a little room to work with this divider would be great. However, I'm not sure what I can use it for since I'm unable to attach it to the bottom. Beware! Don't wait like me. Tip for the manufacturer. Next time invest in Velcro dividers so the fabric can be adjusted with ease. Literally if I take the screen off the frame aligns perfectly. However, it defeats its purpose of privacy. I might buy some material myself and create a more flexible divider. Or I'll buy Velcro myself and attach to the bottom. I don't know yet.
