I ordered a specific bell for my son-in-law but was told immediately that it was temporarily out of stock. Lorene communicated with me kindly and quickly about the status of the order and tracked it from the manufacturer. It arrived on time (despite my concerns). Hats off to Lorene for her amazing help and great communication. I gave my son-in-law the company's information for his future needs. Thank you!

I love this place. I only recently started playing drums, hand drums in particular, and really enjoy their selection of African drums and all their percussion peripherals. They have been very accommodating to my lack of knowledge on drums and have been very helpful. I got the two larger drums there. A djembe and a bougarabou. Couldn't be happier with them.

My wife used to take drum lessons here in the eighties, I think she met the drummer for Dokken, or Cinderella here. She has a picture of her, a cute little junior high rocker chick with some sleazy hair band drummer who was already feeling his fame slip from between his fingers. Good stuff. They hold drum workshops here all the time hosted by some pretty well known drummers. Which is cool I guess.
