The best drum store!

I have been going to Drumwright for almost 20 years and they are by far the best drum store! Excellent customer service and making you feel welcome are just the first things you experience when visiting the store. They have supported and nurtured me from a young boy to a regular working professional drummer. I find their selection of varied stock fantastic and they are always offering the best deals.
I'm always proud to shop with Drumwright and highly recommend this store to all drummers of all different levels.

Fantastic Drum Shop

I have been going to Drumwright loyally for 15 years. Whether just to have a look around all the great new products and try a few things out, or buying various drum kits/cymbals over the years.

The staff have always been really friendly and knowledgeable about the products and have always given great advice on my purchases.

The facilities they have there are great and I really enjoy just going there and trying out new cymbals, electronic kits etc.

Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Best Drum Store

As a drummer and teacher I recommend anyone to take a trip to this drum store. After years of visiting other drum shops to me Drumwright is number 1. The stock is amazing and the staff always helpful. If what you need is not in stock they will order it and get it asap. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Excellent & great value - recommended by the best teacher & musician

We were recommended Drumwright by our son's drum teacher and we were really impressed. Nothing was too much trouble. Drumwright had exactly what he wanted, and they stored the drum kit for us until we were ready to pick it up for Christmas. So helpful, and the fact that our son's drum teacher (who is a professional drummer himself) recommended Drumwright says it all. He wouldn't go anywhere else and has been using Drumwright all his career. Thanks for making our son's Christmas, and making our lives easy!

Can't fault them!

I am a new customer, ordering on the Web only. Had a query on delivery charges and emailed the team. I received a quick, helpful response and everything was sorted!

I only wish I had found them at the start of my mesh head conversion, rather than at the end!

Top marks!

A shop you can trust for sound advice

As well as being a competitive online retailer with an outstanding product range and great customer service, how fantastic to still find somewhere that you can go and actually see what you are buying!

Whether by phone, email or in person I have always received helpful advice from staff who are passionate and knowledgeable about drumming and who are happy to help me source what I want, from a brand new kit to a replacement pedal.

I was also fortunate enough to meet my drumming idol, Steve Gadd, at one of Drumwright's regular events - I'd really recommend getting on their mailing list so you don't miss out on what's happening in Reading!

Great Drum Shop

Been using Drumwright for about 5 years now having come into drumming very late in life. I only have good things to say about them, whenever I've been in be it for something expensive or simply just a pair of sticks the service is the same consistent high standard. Nothing is too much trouble for these guys and they even went to the trouble to find me a specific HH stand.

Fab.

Exceeds Expectations

When I bought my Roland TD-25 from drumwright I had the best customer service I have ever received in a shop. As an amateur I didn't quite know what I was looking for but the very understanding, helpful and friendly staff did most of the work for me. I told them what I wanted in a kit and they helped me make a decision.
The shop in itself is a drummer's heaven. The displays are awesome and you are welcome to try out different kits to find the right equipment for you.
Drumwright is simply an outstanding drum shop and it should be the first place you go to whether you're looking for a new pair of sticks or an entire kit.

Everything you need from a drum shop and more...

Chris, Ian and the team at Drumwright have been an essential part of my career as a professional drummer and teacher for nearly 20 years. The service they provide, the stock they carry and the support they give to me, my students and the schools I teach at is fantastic and I couldn't manage without them.
I recommend them to anyone.
Thanks guys.

Highly recommended.

I have been using Drumwright since they opened. As a teacher, I recommend my students use Drumwright as they are always friendly, knowledgeable and price competitive. Not only is it a great store, it is easy to order on line or by telephone. There is a good sense of community and education with Drumwright as they often host events and mast classes.

The big shop with the personal touch

I personally have been using Drumwright. I recommend the store to all my students, because I know that they will never be sold something they don't need. They don't get blinded with science and the staff are all willing to spend as much time as they need. Although they have grown to be a major contender, they haven't forgotten the reason why they started up in the first place. They also won't so anything that they don't stand behind 100%

First choice drum store

I have used Drumwright since their first day. As a player for my personal gear, they have always been the best for value and quality. As a teacher, they have been first rate to all my pupils.

Though not in the local area now, Drumwright is still my first choice. Their delivery service is top notch!

From selling me my first kit, through to looking after me as a professional - and everything between - DrumWright have always had my back. The staff are like extended family to me.

DrumWright are more interested in keeping you as customer than making a quick buck. They realise that in the age of internet sales and price wars, they have to offer something more. And they do - legitimate advice. That's why you'll keep going back.

Would recommend to everyone.

I have been a long standing Drumwright customer for years. At every stage of my playing from a beginner right through to a professional musician now. All the way they have never faulted with their attitude to the customer and really trying to help whether it be just a pair of stick for the gig, or buying a whole kit. This is something that I greatly appreciate and know I am safe in recommending to any of my pupils. Knowledgeable and friendly staff and they don't pressure for their sales whilst being competitive at every price point. Definitely worth popping in!
