I just want to give a shout out to Hunter at the drum shop. I’m not much of a drummer, however I needed a decent sounding kit for song writing and a bit of recording. Hunter was super friendly and informative and very patient with me. He helped me pick out just the right kit and accessories. I could not be happier with the service Hunter provided and the amazing selection that this establishment offers. I would recommend The Drum Shop to anyone at any level of playing. Two thumbs up…thanks again, Hunter!

Bob Barton

By far the best drum shop in Maine. Honest, knowledgeable, personable staff. I have been doing business there for years. There is nowhere else in Maine that I will do drum business with. Great selection of new and used drum equipment.

Angel Shaw

Very helpful. They give you their own experiences with the items they have. Even when a brand they didn't like would give them a better profit. They will let you try anything they have in stock.

Ken Moulton Jr.

Great area, knowledgeable and nice staff, everything you need under one roof, and for the rare finds they can get you what you want. I have many more trips in store for the Drum Shop in my future!

Marvin rippner

The best salespeople, the best selection of cymbals and very qualified staff, Alex, Rob, Chris and Ronnie. Great videos of what you will get is the most impressive of all. Buy your cymbals and other items from thie SHOP!

Larry Gilpatrick

This place is GREAT! Really enjoy doing business here. Chris is a great guy and his entire staff is great to work with. They are both knowledgeable and passionate about drums. They have a great selection and will do their best to help you find exactly what you are looking for. Unlike some places I have bought from they make you feel welcome and truly appreciate your business. Drummers, you really need to check this place out. It's awesome!

I walked in and they set me up with an incredible kit that came in under budget. I had a really good time shopping there the staff is fantastic. I have shopped at Portland percussion and others and have never been made to feel welcome. These guys set the bar for customer service and interaction.

Joey Freeman

Great service and staff here. Biggest drum selection I've seen in New England and the prices are good on new and used gear. AWESOME used gear selection!

Jen George

The staff are helpful and friendly, and they helped me make a well-informed purchase. They offer a good variety of drums, hardware, and accessories. I would definitely go back, and I will recommend them to my friends.

This review is for thedwstore.com, out of The Drum Shop in Maine. Glad I found this place. I got a new DW 9500 series hi-hat stand for cheaper than anywhere else I could find, and the shipping was super fast. I didn't get tracking info, but was super impressed with how fast they delivered and the price saved me cash. Customer service was great too. This store made it into my favorites with one transaction. Highly recommended.

Angela Gonzalez

Really helpful guys. Was searching for a specific lightweight drum seat and dude even opened up a new box to help us find the perfect one.

Scott Neumyer

I spoke with Chris moments ago. He was polite, receptive, and actually listened to my questions and cared about how he thoughtfully answered them. He spent time talking to me in-depth about the topic, educating me so I could make informed decisions, and never once acted too busy or rushed. I live some distance away, but I assure those of your reading this he made my experience sufficiently positive, and I will absolutely visit the store and make a purchase. More than anything, he was the antithesis of the ‘too-cool-to-bother-with-you’ vibe experienced by so many at a particular large conglomerate.For this reason, I trust Chris’ knowledge and obvious experience, and he is certainly an asset to this business.

Jeffrey Arevalo

One of the best drum stores in the country

Pete Walker

I walked in knowing that I wanted to buy one of two different drum sets that I had been researching. Chris and the staff were very accommodating and pulled the specific set I wanted to play out of their storage area. They worked with me to achieve the sound that I wanted from the drums; they put new coated heads on the toms and tweaked the tuning to my preference among other things. They let me jam on it for as long as I wanted, and even let me listen to one of them play the kit to hear what it sounded like from the front. I ended up getting a Gretsch Renown and am very happy to have bought the set through these guys, excellent service.

Can't say enough. Needed to replace my 27 year old bass drum pedals. Wanted to try out many options. They had them. I was given a drum set in a room and the ability to try out many pedals. Thank you!! I'm so pleased. Ultimately I left with two new pedals and new hi hats and stand and plenty of 747 drum sticks. You guys seriously rock. Metal!

Perfect place for drummers. Several options and excellent customer service. Helpful without being pushy or dismissive.

Todd Erickson

Fantastic supply of everything percussion related. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and talented instructors make this shop a huge "hit". Buy local + support the local economy!

Joe Bart

I contacted the shop directly and spoke to Chris who was great. He knew exactly what I was looking for and worked up a great price for all of the items I was seeking. Fast delivery. No issues. I will purchase again from them.

Alex Teubert

Easily one if my favorite drum shops of all time. The staff is super helpful and they have an incredible selection of drums, cymbals, and and hardware.

Eric Sawyer

Helpful staff and they understand about high maintenance drummers. Lots of good stuff in stock.

Sean Paley

I bought a cymbal here recently - they were super knowledgeable, let me try a bunch, gave great recommendations and then let me put it on a kit and play it with drums. Highly recommended.

I was excited there was such a shop in my area as this was unknown to me until I heard thru a friend about this establishment ; I visited before Christmas. Employees were not very helpful ;one of the two I saw -hid -shoving food in his mouth , from a room -over ,& behind a drum head box rack , never approaching to assist in the initial 30 mins of entering. The other male offered no effort helping me, or even looking me in the eye as he was behind the front counter ; on a computer working I assume ; to assist me with what drums I was looking for, or to help direct me towards particular sets that would best meet the preferences I sought.. I ended up walking out after looking over the very cramped showroom of gorgeous sets ,and other well-stocked drum- related accessories,and looking up the set I kinda liked I saw at this shop, ending up purchasing it after talking to an authorized rep.for an hour and having every question answered thoroughly.. I then proceeded to order off their factory direct web site .

David Hopkins

A big thanks to Stephen for helping me find the perfect cymbal for my kit, a Paiste 18" power crash to match up with my 16" power crash. Stephen crunched the numbers, bringing the price down to rock bottom and upped the price for my 18" A-Zildjian trade-in (the 18" Zildjian is a great vintage cymbal but didn't work with the 16" Paiste), maybe it would for you!

Kevin Remsen

Always have a great experience shopping here. The selection is great and the guys are always ready to answer any questions I have. Top notch service. Highly recommend!

Josef Zhovtis

I liked it, although as a marimbist not much selection for mallet instruments - that's what I get for walking into a drum store
