From the reviews
I was looking for a kit for my son and I came across Stebal Drums on the web. I was tired of shopping for kits at other retailers that weren’t just strictly drums, so I had hope going in there. When we pulled in my son saw their inventory thru the window and got really excited.
I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a new Pearl drumkit from Stebal’s. In addition to a terrific price, I would have to say at this store’s strongest point is service! The entire staff is very personable, and extremely knowledgeable about all things drumistic.
It’s such a welcoming atmosphere, and the owners and employees are extremely helpful with your needs and what you’re looking for when it comes to musical instruments. The owner John was extremely helpful in picking out a guitar that suits me and setting me up with lessons.
A little bit pricey on their used stuff, but still worth the $$$. I bought a few items here and the staff has always been cool to deal with. I have all new drum heads on my kit from here, and it sounds pretty good, I still need to tweak the tuning.
Selling or trading gear at Stebal Drums
Stebal Drums 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 Stebal Drums
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Stebal Drums. 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.
