From the reviews
Thanks John! The most knowledgeable drumming and percussion experts in Chicago with a full cymbal repair workshop on site. Great local drum shop that actually has what you need! Whether its tiny vintage patching parts or a nice trade-in!
John fixed my snare strainer quickly and efficiently for an affordable price. He also gave me great advice on general drum maintenance and care. Would recommend to any drummer in need of repair, advice or new heads, sticks and hardware for your drums.
This unique hole-in-the-wall shop includes classic drum sets, praise tambourines, large drums and mallets of every stripe. Run by an informative and friendly staff, a firm recommend for percussion needs in and around the city of Chicago.
Amazing service. Every time I enter the shop, I feel welcomed. Great prices. Extremely knowledgeable staff. I never feel like I’m making a bad purchase. As a young, gigging musician, EVERY drummer needs to visit this place.
Lessons at Vic's Drum Shop
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Vic's Drum Shop. 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.
