Top notch. I ordered a legacy of the Royals BDCo Snare Drum. It was later arriving than advertised and I didn’t hear from Drum one about that, but once I got in touch, they were extremely helpful and... See more

I’d been trying to get my son a BDC snare drum for Christmas. But the model he wanted was out of stock everywhere. I’d repeatedly called a number of competing retailers to get an ETA on new stock, but... See more

Fantastic store

Fantastic store. Fast and efficient and also quick to communicate with you if you make a query. Also a great store to visit should you ever be in the area. I took the time to pop whilst I was in that neck of the woods when the UK DRUM EXPO was in Liverpool. Real friendly staff.

Besides going to the store and meeting…

Besides going to the store and meeting Phil Westwood- the drum head I ordered arrived earlier than expected and in great shape. 1 Suggestion- have a store representative in the United States that can assist with deliveries to the United States. With all the fees and taxes turned a 22 pound drum head into $79.00 order. Still happy with it tho.

Offering quality products to drummers…

Offering quality products to drummers and especially Niko fans all over the world at reasonable prices. I paid $50 to ship clothing merch to USA which sucked. But decent pricing offset shipping cost and now only person around with Drum One merch. PLEASE NEVER SELL OUT TO AMAZON, WALMART AND OTHE MONOPOLIES. Stay with us! The drum loving common folk

Absolutely Flawless!!!

Can not rate this store high enough.

Emailed early on a Sunday morning and got a reply within the hour.

Took a brand new kit across (Wich was not brought from them) for them to take a look at and tune for me.

Was greeted on arrival and offered a drink, the guys then helped unlead the kit from my car.

Had a conversation on what sound I was after and the guys got to work on the kit treating it with great care.

They explained and guided me in what they were doing so I could learn how to keep ontop on the tuning moving forwards.

The store is a drummers paradise and while exploring the store I asked for advice on different items and was guided away from spending a higher amount of money on a hi-hat stand and shown a cheaper alternative that they said would better suit my needs.

The guys in the store are drummers, not sales men after a quick sale and this shows in the passion and pride in what they do.

They were more than happy to tune and then re tune the bass drum to shoe the difference of having no dampening in the drum and then with dampening and also cut and fitted a port hole for me as well.

Walked away with an amazing sounding kit and also purcahsed a few other itmes while i was there.

Wish I had got the names of the two guy in store that day but for the life of me I can't remember them, but a big thank you to both of them.

Will definitly be visiting again.
