Apartment Therapy reader Michael Miles proves that a Christmas tree does not necessarily have to be a real (or facsimile) tree to celebrate holiday spirit. His unconventional Christmas tree was made from 5 drums, 1 tambourine, 1 strand of ceramic lights, and 1 bucket of shiny balls. Partridge not included.

This is so cool and screams xmas, but in the most unconventional way. I really lilke it.
I love this!
This is great! I've really hated the "alternative Christmas tree" posts on this site (largely because they're ugly), but this is clever, festive and personal--it's a great, dramatic idea.
My uncle has a music store - that would be a perfect Christmas display!
I love your Christmas tree, ba rum pa pum pum!
clever
My boyfriend's a drummer. Too bad he has to use the damn things.
Love it!
love :)
yep i also just rolled my eyes at the laundry rack dryer... but THIS is super cute!
It's only cute if it's displayed at macy's..... It's the same as the drying rack...only with a better production.......
Bahahaha, awesome. I have nowhere to put a tree, so I just might have to put lights on the bass case that sits in the corner of my bedroom and call it a day.
This is way better than that drying rack idea (listening AT???).
This pic/post has been making the rounds among my drummer friends. Please make sure you don't toss them to the curb on Jan. 2nd!
tacky.
