From the reviews
CK's drum shop is a great shop for drum and percussion gear, quality repairs, and lessons. As a percussionist and music teacher in the area, I would highly recommend this shop to anybody looking for quality instruments, mallets, sticks, books, hardware, and accessories. The prices are fair and the inventory is solid.
Chris is the best! Super nice guy and extremely helpful and knowledgeable about anything when it comes to drums. He has helped me with multiple repairs with different drum hardware and the results are always perfect. Anything you need fixed or tuned correctly he’s got all the tools and parts you need.
CK Drum Shop is the best. I am in my mid 60s, and decided to learn drumming ‘late’ in life. I was anxious about finding the right instructor, but found exactly what I was looking for in the CK Drumshop owner.
As a new percussionist, I am completely satisfied with Chris and his drum teaching techniques. He's patient and takes his time until I and he is satisfied before moving on to the next 'page'. He has a variety of equipment for sale and EXTREMELY knowledgeable in the art of drumming.
Selling or trading gear at CK's Drum Shop, LLC
CK's Drum Shop, LLC comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
Lessons at CK's Drum Shop, LLC
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at CK's Drum Shop, LLC. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments on hand for exactly this reason.
