“First time buying drums (I am a guitar/saxophone player), so wanted advice on what to buy. I had no budget limit; but wanted pro level gear for my home studio. Kev took loads of time with me and helped choose a Gretsch kit. He was very pragmatic on the hardware pack and all but insisted that I don't waste money on a pack which was over the top for my needs. Having taken on board my taste in '70's cymbals, he came up with the perfect match for my expectations. All in all, a super experience. I'll probably become more proficient on this kait and become a regular.........”

“Pricing was amazing, puchasing online was simple and easy. But no updates on my order after 2 weeks i contacted them via email, no reply, phone no call back. It wasn’t until i contacted them via the contact form on the website i got replies. After that Martin updated me each step of the way.”

“The Rattle & Drum provided incredible service at the UK Drum Show, sorting me out with some amazing Paiste Traditional Cymbals. Special thanks to Kev for the phone call before the show, Sam for his service helping me try the cymbals, and Martin for sorting some Vater drumsticks for me. I’ve think I’ve found my go-to drum shop!”

“Very good supplier. Ordered a Paiste Crash which was at a super good price. Unfortunately they didn’t have it immediately but called and explained it would be a little later and if I still wanted it. It arrived 10 days later. So delay is only reason it’s 4 star. The crash was exactly what I wanted so extremely happy with my purchase. Would deffo buy from them again.”

“Excellent service. Visited the shop with my daughter to look at electric drum kits. Kev was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She was able to try the kit too before making a decision. Called and ordered the kit which was sent out with free delivery. Would certainly recommend Rattle and Drum and would definitely buy from them again.”
