A few years ago I made a shelf for some snares out of metal closet rods and shelf brackets from The Home Depot. This expanded to three (at my wife's suggestion) during a recent redo of the room so that more drums could be on display. I recently added a set of IKEA shelves that I read about in another post a year or two ago. Those shelves hold some of the better drums. I also have a stereo cabinet which holds snares on the other side of the room. I was also fortunate enough to find some old drum store fixtures (cymbal rack and drum stick rack) that work well. The drumstick holder doubles as a wine rack, although stock is a bit low right now.Nothing here was very expensive (other than some of the drums themselves). I will be adding back the drum lights and floor tom sink when I can (in the third and fourth pictures taken in 2008). The ceilings had to be redone due to a water leak on the floor above. No drums were harmed, but it was a bit of a mess for a while.Note: After looking at what I had in 2008 and what I have now, it makes me think that maybe I do have a little hoarding issue. Especially when you consider what is not on display. However, I sold two drums last week and am delivering one to a new owner next week, so I probably have it under control. :)
How awesome ! What a great drum room - congratulations. I'm loving this thread of you guys that are sharing pictures of your collection displays. I'm inspired to think about ways I can do more to get my gear out of the closet where I can see it and enjoy more.
Thanks for sharing !
