A great independent name

A great independent name and one well worth supporting with your business. This used to be a regular stop off for me in London when I needed new drum sticks and spares. Recently I was shopping for a few bits of hand percussion online and went straight to Foote's. Great price and delivery within 48 hours - I'll continue to buy all my drum stuff from them.

All good at Footes!

I’ve been dealing with Rob at Footes for years actually when it was in Golden Sq back in the day. An honest, straight up and no nonsense approach to running a very good business. Safe shopping here. 👍

Simply the best drum shop in the UK

Simply the best drum shop in the UK. I have been a customer for over 40 years.
They are knowledgable, friendly, and the service is first class.

It's a funny feeling when you walk into the shop, it makes me feel as though I am dealing with the professionals. Great selection and wide range of stock.

I always leave the store with a smile on my face and it makes me glad that I am a drummer.

Quick delivery and excellent price from…

Quick delivery and excellent price from Footes. The Ludwig P88Ac strainer did not fit my Ludwig Black Beauty and involved enlarging an existing hole. The Butt end did not fit ( which I had heard about previously) so not a great update. The strainer is very smooth to use and is an improvement on the old P85 but think before buying as you may need to do work on fitting if it is an older drum.
