I always wanted a canister throne: a hardware case that matches drum set finish. The bad news were that they cost lots of money for a seat with standard height, at least Ludwig's. So I thought of doing it myself in some affordable way. A light bulb shined inside my head:
I had an old 12" bar stool's seat from a friend, I found a PVC water pipe in garbage of same diameter that was cut to the height I wanted, 19,5". The bottom was made of cheap pinewood, the aluminium profiles are from a local kitchen forniture factory, the latches came from a local hardware store...and the wrapping (here is where most of money went) was ordered online. It was hard to find a close Gretsch WMP pattern, but I found it. The seat was re-upholstered. So...voilà: here is a Ludwig style canister throne. I'd like to drill a breath hole when I get the grommet (I forgot add one in shopping cart with the wrapping, and now does not worth pay shipping just for one). Here are the pics. Hope you like it.
