This store is a great resource for drummers. Dave (the owner) is very knowledgeable and helpful. All sorts of vintage gear in stock, drum sets, snare drums, project drums, cymbals, hardware, parts, etc.

One of my favorite stores. Took lessons here as a kid, and still love to visit and shop once in awhile. Good prices, and you never know what you'll find - the store is a huge pile of musical detritus/treasure/sometimes seemingly junk (in a good way, lol). Really cool place.

What an experience. Upsold to a better guitar case. Repaired a broken g-string and installed for a trade in drum. Now on the hook for a Peavey bass amplifier. Great time. David was very welcoming and accommodating. Thank you.
