So my husband plays drums, has for almost his whole life. Needless to say he has equipment and more equipment. A high-hat stand broke and was no longer functioning even after much time messing with it. He told me to throw it out and I said "can I use it?" I myself can not play drums and have been the source of amusement when I have tried.
I then stared at it for a day and thought it would be a totally awesome lamp for my son. I had previously bought a lamp from a thrift store for it's parts. I tore apart the old lamp and now had a perfectly usable wire with switch. I pulled out all the stuff inside the high hat stand which left me with this shiny chrome stand. Ran the wire up through and added the top. Found a drum shade in need of repair and used shiny silver duck tape.
ooooo, I love this lamp. Very clever use of the stand.
