There are many reasons why I love the drums. I love that they are the backbone to any ensemble, that anyone can pick up sticks and hit a drum. But drums also make some great decor!
I once saw a Drumeo video where they were promoting a company in the states that turned old floor toms into some high end side tables. It looked so cool, and at the time I had just closed the offer on my house. I also remember going to Maxwell’s in Waterloo (a local Laurier venue/bar) and they had turned full drumsets into the coolers light fixtures I have ever seen! My brain was swimming with all the ways I could express my love of drums through decorating my house. Now a year later, that’s what I did!
I currently have a floor tom end table, a bass drum footrest, cymbal wall art and a rack tom planter! Any time I have a practical issue that needs solving in my house, or need a piece of furniture, I first think “could I do something with a drum”. Drums are so easy to work with, sometimes a simple strip down, clean and spray paint is all it takes to turn an old drum into an awesome conversation piece in your house.
