The Importance of Drum Shops
To your left is a wall of cymbals. To your right, a wall of snares. Packed in the center are rows of drum kits ready to try. You sit behind one and, starting to play, you immediately hear the difference between what you were going to order online and what, it turns out, you actually want. That's something even the best websites can't do for you. And it's why these local shops are here. Nine in ten have a showroom you can simply walk into, find the gear you want, and take it home. And nearly all keep used and vintage gear on the floor, which means there's always something in stock you weren't expecting to find.
These shops are part of the community: They do repairs, offer pro advice, and teach lessons. They work with local schools. They host clinics and workshops, lead drum circles, and rent gear. Whether you're after drums, cymbals, concert percussion, accessories, or supplies, there's a shop on Local Drum Shops with the answer and a real person to share it with you.

What makes a Drum Shop?
Whether a music store should be considered a drum shop depends on regional music styles and customs, the passions of the store owner, and the needs of the neighborhood. At Local Drum Shops, we include all retail music stores that specialize in drums and/or other percussion instruments and have a physical location where customers can visit.
Some of the stores here sell only new merchandise, while others sell only used and vintage. Most offer both. Some stores specialize in drums they make themselves but also sell supplies and accessories from other manufacturers. Some are distributors but with a retail outlet open to the public. A few of the shops, especially those in smaller markets, may sell other types of instruments, but only as a minor sideline. In every case, the shops on Local Drum Shops are retail stores with someone you can talk to in person.
