Thanks so much Sean for all your help getting my cymbal to me over here in Canada! Amazing customer service, Sean went above and beyond to correspond with me through email and make sure everything was lined up. Package arrived in about a week and it was packed with insane care and consideration. I recommend buying from Boston drum shop highly!

Bought my drum kit here about 10 years ago. They could not have been more pleasant. They didn't oversell me anything. There was a problem with my order by the particular manufacturer. Drum center helped me out and made it absolutely right by me. I recently ordered an new head & some sticks. Ordered on line and it was at my door in 2 days. Absolutely incredible customer service. I highly recommend them to anyone. A great place to do business with. I love supporting small businesses and am happy to spend my money here as opposed to big box store. Thank you all at Boston Drum Center! Cheers!

This was my first experience ordering from the Boston Drum Center. I like the appearance, feel, and sound of the Zildjian Avedis 20-inch cymbal I bought very much. Sean answered my technical and general questions quickly and thoroughly, taking the time to respond to all my e-mails and telephone calls. His customer service was excellent, and that impressed me a good deal. Also, his price beat the competition. I trust Sean's character and expertise and plan to order from him again.

A wonderful, independent, small business. Very friendly and accommodating and super knowledgeable. Their selection is superb. I would recommend any drummer, be it just starting out and looking for help, or looking for an amazing upgrade to come here.

Boston Drum Center is the best drum store I have ever visited. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff, unreal selection (of cymbals especially), and helpful videos online. (Online ordering, too.) Go check them out!
