How do you display/store your drum collection?

Loading...

From KCDrumDad

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 !

My Drum Room is always changing! The first 4 pictures are from when I was just starting to organize everything. The last picture was still a few months ago and the kits that are setup now consist of my 1968 Slingerland BR and 1966-67 Rogers Headliner. Already added a few more snare drums, too! More drum stuff on the side walls and back, too. Will it ever end?!! LoLoLoLo

My drums are usually in bags all around the place... but over the weekend I decided to set up a small display cabinet next to the bar... Looks great at night with the lighted cabinet.. Think I'll pick up some Led bulbs though, the incandecent's heat up a little too much.

Cheers

I'm having a duel reaction. The first part is that I'm not getting my fair share, as Richard Quest might say. The second is that I've beat out all the guys that are worried they have an uncontrollable urge to buy drums. Here's half my collection on display to the dust mites. The other half is in worse shape in cases sitting in the shed down Maine. I've gotta get one of those houses that has a drum room!
