Full disclosure, this is being written by a drummer who has made a few wish lists of his own over the years. I have a good instinct for what drummers want and need, and I've combined it with the items we're seeing the most demand for drum-wise in 2023. This catalog is meant to make it easier for you to shop for your drummer, but if you don't see what you're looking for, just go to the home page and access our entire inventory, right at your fingertips. If you still don't see what you need, shoot us a note here or call 603-319-8109 and one of us can help guide you in the right direction. We're covering several categories here with hundreds of products, so let's start at the top of this mountain and look at some of the finest drum sets on the market today!
Each item we've included has been meticulously selected for its exceptional quality, unique sound, and ability to meet the diverse needs of drummers.

Our range includes trusted brands like Pearl, Tama, DW, Sonor, Ludwig, Gretsch, Roland, and Yamaha, ensuring that you're investing in reliable, top-notch equipment.
Moving beyond the drum sets, we delve into the world of cymbals. A good cymbal can dramatically enhance a drummer's performance, and we've made sure to include a variety of cymbals that offer crisp, clear, and melodious sounds. Whether you're looking for ride cymbals with a smooth, sustained sound or crash cymbals that deliver a powerful punch, our selection covers it all. We also highlight specialty cymbals for those looking to add a unique flair to their drumming.
Percussion accessories are the unsung heroes of the drumming world, and our guide provides an extensive look into the latest and most innovative accessories on the market. From drumsticks that provide the perfect balance and grip to drum heads that offer durability and exceptional sound quality, we understand that these small details make a big difference in your playing experience.
For the tech-savvy drummer, we've included a section on electronic drumming accessories. These items range from advanced metronomes that help in keeping time to sophisticated drum modules that open up a world of digital sound possibilities. We believe that integrating technology with traditional drumming can create an entirely new dimension of musical expression.
Lastly, we haven't forgotten about the importance of comfort and convenience. Our guide features a range of drum thrones, stick bags, and hardware options designed to make your drumming experience as comfortable and hassle-free as possible. High-quality hardware that's both sturdy and easy to adjust can make a significant difference in your performance.
We hope this guide serves as a valuable resource for finding the perfect gift for the drummer in your life or even treating yourself to some new gear.
