The Drum Doctors’ Advantage:
In fact, just as professional race-car drivers compete with cars that are "tweaked" to perform at their maximum potential, professional drummers play drums that are specially "set-up" to fit their more critical needs in the studio and on the road. At Drum Doctors we inspect, true and recalibrate the bearing edges of all our drums. We use RIMS Suspension Mounts. We make sure all the fittings are adjusted and that all the parts are operating properly. As our work on dozens of Gold and Platinum recording projects has proven, when properly diagnosed these as well as many other small, often subtle refinements make a big improvement in a drums tone, response and recordability.
More Than Just A Great Drum Sound.
But, at Drum Doctors, getting your set professionally set up is just the start. We’re available 7 days a week to provide a wide range of products and services - from fully insured instrument storage, maintenance and cartage to on-call studio teching and tuning.
We have one of the most extensive rental stocks of classic, contemporary and custom acoustic and electronic drums in the world, including a collection of over 300 vintage snare drums, and we are authorized dealers for many major drum and drum accessory manufacturers. Our well-stocked, well-staffed repair department can expertly perform any procedure for customizing and modifying your existing kit to building a new kit to your personal specifications from the ground up.
