Display Case for Snares Last viewed: 5 hours ago

Posts: 937 Threads: 82

hi all,

I was in IKEA the other day looking for book shelves and I came across this glass/metal display case with a nice door that opens and even locks! It displays 7 snares very nicely with 5 enclosed in glass. It measures exactly 16" across so the drums fit perfectly with little wiggle room. Only $149. I don't work for IKEA and I'm not trying to promote one of their products. But this for the $$ is very nice! http://www.flickr.com/photos/50144458@N03/5860691083/

Cheers!

Sweet! Ultra classy. Pretty strong frame? I would just be concerned on the sturdiness of it all.

That would give me an excuse to buy 3 more snares!

Exactly! I am down to five snares so I would have to get two more, and I know which ones I want!

To answer your question, yes it is very sturdy. The hardware is solid and the glass is high quality. You're down to how many snares Lucky? Shame on you .. :)

Thanks for the tip on the IKEA case. I never noticed it there, but will certainly check it out. Besides, any excuse to go to IKEA is OK with my girlfriend!

Now I know some of you are good with tools. This is super simple and would work great. I thought the medium one with two rows ofdrums and the bottom cymbal thing is great for a drum room or a studio that has different snare drums. Oh wait, we don't really have many recording studios anymore. Oh well, it's simple and cool.
