“The item I purchased was value for money and the delivery was prompt”

“Possibly the best music shop in Britain. I use and have used many major music shops throughout Britain for drum supplies and there are some excellent, but Rattle and Drum is where I end up buying most often. Great stock, fantastic customer service from very knowledgeable and very likeable staff, and they often have the best prices - if not, they are at least as good as the competition. Being from within 45 minutes of the shop, it's nice that there's such a fantastic retailer locally that I can take my custom to.”

“Amazing experience. All staff were friendly and helpful as usual. I came unprepared, without a pick or tuner, but was able to borrow a pick, and all guitars I played were perfectly tuned to E standard. I made my purchase, and the staff member assisting me gave lots of advice, and made guitar-related conversation, which made me feel very comfortable and as though I was amongst people who understood what they were talking about. Overall pleasant experience. The guitar needed intonation and action adjusting, but no truss rod adjustment,(As staff had made me aware, and offered to do for me free of charge.) I was grateful for the offer, but personally prefer to do these things myself, so I was able to get the instrument up to par in under 40 minutes.”

“Brilliant shop and the staff are friendly and know their stuff. Bought a Cow Bell bracket and a pair of sticks that I had not seen before. Great products at great prices. Drummer for too many years, but electric, shame they have little stock, will have to continue travelling out of Derbs to get my gear, pity, these guys are good!”

“Communication was good, but sadly a simple guitar strap took two and a half weeks to arrive. To be fair they had issues with their supplier, but I hadn't noticed they do sell things that they don't physically have in the shop.”

Hi Neville, I'm sorry your guitar strap took longer than expected to arrive. We do sell items sourced directly from the supplier's warehouse as there are far more choices than we could possibly keep here however, we do try and make this as transparent as possible on the product page. We give as accurate as possible lead time and state where the stock is (in-store or supplier warehouse). In this case though the strap took a couple of days longer than the stated 14 working days so I do apologise that this was the case. The last couple of weeks have seen a few delays from the EU suppliers but this seems to be going back to normal now. Kind Regards Martin
