sidereal Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 I'm fed up with Guitar Center. Any tips on some really good online music shops for drum gear? There's Sweetwater, Mars, etc.... but I have yet to find a good online dealer that has a good selection of drum/percussion stuff at good prices. Just for the record.

HMSDrumKing Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 I personally like MusiciansFriend.com It has a very good selection of drum/percussion instruments, and I haven't seen any lower prices, although you have probably already heard of it.

DerekDrums Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 Well, I wouldn't call this place online, but they do have their list online and you can order by phone. They are called Dale's Drum Shop at http://www.dales-drums.com - I order from them all the time, I think they are in PA, I can't remember, but I just order over the phone and they ship to me. Best service around, I think everyone there knows me by name. They all are experts practically, and can answer any questions. I called up our local Woodwind & Brasswind and asked if they carried rubber hi-hat seats or clutch felts. He told me he's never heard of them, and I had to explain what they were and he still said that they didn't have any and he didn't know what they were and that they existed. I called up Dale's, and immediatley when I said "Do you guys have any rubber hi-hat.." he gave me prices instantly on the rubber cup and rubber clutch felts. That place has great service, they always have advice, and they don't BS you to get sales like other places. If I ask why a drum is so cheap but seems ok, he'll come clean and tell me not to get it for a particular reason or so, and they match prices too on any competitors. Anyway, they are a GREAT place, great service, I always get my orders really quick and they are just an overall great place. I recommend them VERY highly, best place I've ever dealt with.

Gaddabout Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 My friend bought a high-end Pearl and Zildjian cymbals from http://www.thedrumshop.com/ and was more than satisfied with the price and service. I bought $1,000 in Zildjian cymbals for $775 from http://www.drumworld.com and they arrived in less than a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruBoz Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 Well, here's one I won't use again, www.midwestpercussion.com. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/mad.gif I place an order on-line last Tuesday. The gave me a confirmation # I could use to track my order. By Friday, I still couldn't track my order. Long story short, I ended up having to call them FOUR different times (plus 1 e-mail that was never answered) in order to get my cymbal shipped. I still don't know what happened with my order. But the cymbal that I should already have in my posession is finally going to arrive Wednesday. And I never even got an apology. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif Despite my bad experience, these guys have the best prices on Sabians I've seen anywhere. I guess you really can't have your cake and eat it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
