I like it. I like the whole idea of it. And I'm sure if need be you can always find loner drums that may not be players, but could be prime candidates for stools.

I assume the padding sits atop the batter head, nestles into the rim. What did you place on the bottom? Or does the stool pole go through the drum to the seat bottom? Either way It's a cool idea. And since you're not harming any drums I don't see anyone here having an issue.

This piece sits on top of the shell and the rim holds it to the shell. It has a groove routed out tomake the rim fit perfectly. It takes 1/4" longer tension rod. The barstool base is bolted to this piece of MDO Plywood with 3/8 T -Nuts Top head has been removed

This piece gets 2" H/D Foam then covered. These are covered in Zodiac Sparkle naugahyde

I have a B/O Silver sparkle Ludwig snare im going to do as well

Here's 2 I found pics of. I couldnt find any for sale anywhere.

Of course the drums are worth &1-$200

I'd be interested in the one with the silver sparkle snare. What would you ask for one of these? And that's awesome how you've made it work.

Looks like they'd be a very cool throne too! Nice work!

Very nice work!

i like the look of them. it would be cool to print vintage ads on the seats.

i seen these on ebay years ago. i like the idea of it but must feel bulky due to not having alot of room at the bottom. and i added the table pic because its cool.

i sell cheap bass drums to a local guy who makes ottomans out of them, and i sell broken cymbals to a guy who make sconces and other types of lighting out of them.

lots of cool drums type stuff can be re-purposed into cool stuff. hopfully w/o sacrificing something vintage.
