Drums, Cymbals and Percussion Instrument at Drum Center of Portsmouth

For my first new drum set ever purchased, this Mapex kit is amazing! I love the many sounds I can produce across different genres, very easy to tune, and tear down and set up is very quick. In a nutshell, I love this drum set!

I like the tone of the ambassador. I find the Evans and Aquarian both hold up better over time, but it's tone I'm after. Playing as much as I do I replace my ambassadors two or three times A year.

Just what I was looking for!

A friend of mine had a Gretsch Drum set . I noticed that one of the lugs was broke while I was rehearsing with the band . I went to drum center of Portsmouth and found what I needed

I needed a good to great tom mount for my 70s Rogers USA kit to replace the originals. The last thing you need when you are playing the drums is a weak and floppy tom mount that causes your drums to whiff out the window while you are playing a fill. These were a direct replacement and are much more solid than the old design, which were hard to adjust and didn't hold position well after decades of use. Shipping was fast and I'd definitely buy from you guys again!

Perfect for your vintage Slingerland Sound King! Fast shipping to EU, but beware of extra taxes and administration costs added by FedEx.

I was frustrated at my old soft sided hardware bag. It was too long and too "floppy" and a real pain to load and unload. My current band has a lot of gigs and I needed a solution. This Gator Grooves case was just the ticket. It has plenty of room for all my hardware, stands, and my drum throne. It has a telescoping handle, easy rolling wheels and is super sturdy and weatherproof ! It's a drummer's dream.

I am very happy with it. It is a monster of a drum. Mechanically very sturdy. Solid sound. But you need to dampen it big time. Otherwise it would sound like a timpani in a symphony orchestra. For me a 16" dampening ring did the trick. The 18" one is not enough. 16" will occupy an area further from the rim to provide more dampening. And it will stay automatically in the center. No need to fixing its place.

I’ve had a very good fortune of purchasing nine hydraulic heads of various sizes. I redid my entire stock of batter heads on my 2026 jet black double Bastrom five floating times one floor time one snare drum with Evans hydraulic heads. I am a newbie at playing drums, and I’m 68 years old with a previous history of playing drums. That was 45 years ago, and I am now enjoying myself immensely. More to the point… These hydraulic heads are wonderful! They take out a lot of the overtones, they are very responsive, and I chose all blackheads to go with my jet black set, wish you could all see it!. In the future, if you were fortunate enough to purchase these heads, I do not believe you will be disappointed. I’m grateful to Portsmouth, Drum Center Of New Hampshire of all my drumming gear. Also to let you know, I purchased nine Drum clips of various sizes to take out the remaining unwanted sounds from the drums. They are very cost-effective, and very easy to use. To my fellow drummers, if I might say sticks up and have a great day and thank you, Portsmouth, Drum Center Of New Hampshire.
