Is that one bolt/nut that is holding the existing shade on? If it is, then you should be ale to hang a drum shade on using the same bolt/nut, they have framework inside them to mount on lamps. Just make sure you get the same width to keep it looking balanced, you will also see the bulbs when you look up at it.
Turn OFF the power to the fan/light; if it is direct wired, find the breaker and turn it off at your box. Remove the glass shield; there is a bracket that holds the 2 bulbs, held by two screws; remove them and 'unwire' the sockets. Your drum shade should/probably has at least 2/4 rods across the top to where a 'finial' would attach if used on a lamp; depending on the configuration of your drum shade, you can attach thru the center hole (where the finial would go) to the center post of the base of the fan; or use the metal rods that run from the outside upper rim of the shade to the middle. Reattach the wiring for the lights, and reattach the bracket they are attached to and turn the power back on.
