WELCOME TO BADGES DRUM SHOP
Badges Drum Shop was founded by Charlie Andrews, a drummer and drum gear aficionado determined to honor the best brands and badges in the business while giving drummers a place to find and talk great gear with someone who understands them.
At Badges Drum Shop we believe drumming to be the heart and soul of music, a sacred tool for human expression and healing. This shop is therefore a project of passion and joy we hope you'll share with us.
Whether you're looking for advice on the best gear for you, needing supplies for the gear you already have, or just want to talk drums and drummers and their music, we're here for you.
What you'll get at Badges Drum Shop:
• SELECTION. We’re stocked with essentials plus unique options not available in big music stores. We also welcome custom orders and have the expertise to help you.
• EXPERIENCE. We know drums and drumming. Looking for a certain sound? We know the combinations of materials and sizes to get it. Our cymbal room even features a demo kit so you can hear how sounds blend before you buy.
• VALUE. We carefully select the best quality at each price point and sell at the same minimum advertised price as big online retailers.
