Customer Spotlight 🇺🇸🎯 Misfits Airsoft

This customer had a vision for our drums… and we love seeing it come to life! 🙌

These drums found a new mission at an airsoft field, creating a military-themed setup complete with service branch displays. Pretty cool seeing barrels become part of the action instead of just storage.

One of our favorite things is seeing all the unique ways people use our drums, buckets, and totes.

Got a fun project using products from Volunteer Drum? Send us pictures — we’d love to feature them!

Who knew buckets could become airport art? 😲✈️

This incredible installation at the Denver airport was created using hundreds of buckets joined together into flowing tubes!

Now it has us looking at buckets a little differently around here. 👀😂

Need buckets for your next project, business, storage setup, garden, or creative idea?
Our WHITE 5-gallon buckets are currently on SALE for only $1.50 each! 🙌

Stop by and stock up while they last!

🌎 Happy Earth Day from Volunteer Drum! 🌱

Taking care of what we’ve been given doesn’t have to be complicated.
Sometimes it starts with something simple—reusing instead of tossing.

🛢️ Drums for rainwater collection
🌱 Barrels for gardening
♻️ Containers for storage instead of waste

Small changes add up… and they make a big impact over time.

Let’s be good stewards of what we’ve been given 💚

🛢️ What could YOU do with a drum?

Around here, we’ve seen them turned into:
🔥 Burn barrels
🌱 Garden planters
💧 Rain catch systems
🛠️ Workshop storage
🎯 Even DIY projects you wouldn’t expect

Sometimes it’s not just a barrel… it’s a solution waiting to happen.

If you’ve got an idea—we’ve probably got the drum to match it 💪

We love hearing how our customers are using their drums—and even more when they arrive fast, clean, and ready to go!
