Got an old drum set that’s only collecting dust at home? Then why not give it a new purpose by turning it into an awesome chandelier!
This upcycling idea is perfect for musicians and music lovers out there, who would love a musical theme for their interiors. Of course, you can also do this project if you simply want to replace your existing lighting with something that’s a whole lot more interesting than the usual lighting fixture.

This drum set chandelier is made using a full-size drum kit. But it’s one of the cheaper brands, so weight was not an issue. It’s as heavy as the ceiling fan it replaced, hence the owner-builder was able to use the existing mount for installing his new DIY chandelier! Here’s a tip: check Craiglist or GumTree for junior drum kits if you are concerned about the weight of a full-sized kit.
