What's on the wall
“The beautiful vintage kits, unique aux percussion, and affordable hardware they carry beats any music store I've ever been to.”
“It was easily one of the best kits we’ve ever used (and by far the best snare).”
“They were super easy to work with and provided a professional, top notch kit that was set up perfectly for our exact use case.”
“I have bought from the shop as well as taken lessons for several months now (in both playing and recording) and am just thrilled at the fact this opened near me.”
“You'll find just about anything you could dream of here, and I've had the pleasure of buying several pieces from this place and selling some really neat drums to this place too.”

From the reviews
Wow, what an amazing place. I have bought from the shop as well as taken lessons for several months now (in both playing and recording) and am just thrilled at the fact this opened near me. Obviously, they have an unreal selection of vintage percussion.
Wood and Weather is a one-of-a-kind music shop that drummers and non-drummers alike MUST visit if they're ever in South Hadley. The beautiful vintage kits, unique aux percussion, and affordable hardware they carry beats any music store I've ever been to.
I'm taking drum lessons with Colin Jalbert and absolutely loving it! Colin is a very approachable teacher with a really deep love for all kinds of music and a holistic, student-centric approach to teaching. He really knows how to break a concept down into smaller, more manageable parts.
This place is tremendous. A welcoming and un-intimidating place to shop and learn. Such an asset to South Hadley Falls. Lessons with Colin have been fun from the get go. He is an extremely knowledgeable and patient teacher who makes learning easy.
Selling or trading gear at Wood and Weather Drum Shop
Wood and Weather Drum Shop 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 Wood and Weather Drum Shop
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Wood and Weather 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 and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
