“This company sells a whole range of drums and the price is very good. I wanted my own Remo synthetic drum to take part in group drumming rather than keep borrowing. Having used Remo drums before, I particularly wanted this make. The drum was very well packaged, the delivery was quick even though the particular size wasn't in stock. Very happy with my purchase and the company and have saved the seller for any future purchases 😊”

“Kev went above and beyond on a response to a web inquiry, researching shipping costs, coordinating with warehousing on a low stock item. If you need assistance with a purchase, come to Rattle and Drum first, they will take care of you!”

“Ordered a Meinl cymbal set a few weeks ago. I knew delivery would be some time as the item was not in stock. But the price was very competitive, so I was prepared to wait. It arrived yesterday as arranged with DHL. I am a little disappointed that the cymbal set was not packed very well at all. When the box is shaken you can hear the contents moving around quite a lot. I’ve inspected them, they see ok. Not played them just yet. Hopefully they will be as expected.”

“Excellent service from Rattle and Drum! I ordered a few things that came from the supplier so it took a little longer (which was expected) and I can't fault the service at all. I will definitely be buying from here again when I need something else!”

“It’s slightly louder than other Ocean Drums I’ve had but great otherwise. It was promised within a few days but took 10 days to arrive”

“I had ordered a 14” drum head for a Tama Club Jam Flyer which is for the kick drum. I went to collect it and told Kev what it was for, and he immediately told me I could get a better head for this purpose, and kindly swapped what I had ordered for the recommended head. The sound is excellent and I can’t thank Kev enough for his advice. Excellent drum store for all your drumming needs, and Kev and Martin are very knowledgeable and helpful and will always do the best they can to match your needs.”

“I purchased a second-hand Ayotte drum kit from Rattle & Drum after stumbling across it in a web search. It fit almost exactly what I was looking for so I was very interested, but buying high end musical instruments sight unseen can be a bit worrysome. Not with Rattle & Drum, the kit is *exactly* as described -- they were transparent about a couple of blemishes and were confident it would fit my use case based on my description. I'm extremly happy with my purchase and will happily buy from them again.”
