What can I say? The best resource for drum and percussion equipment in the tri-state area! Dennis is amazing! Prices are extremely fair and service is unsurpassed. I’ve never been disappointed or dissatisfied with any business dealings in the last 38 years since I’ve been playing drums. Look no further for any of your drumming needs. If he doesn’t have it, he’ll get it.

Dennis is the BEST! The store is a locally owned/operated business, making the whole thing have a great vibe. There is always something you HAVE to have every time you walk in. If he doesnt have it, he will get it. Just a super cool REAL drummers place.

The place to go for your drumming needs. Sticks, heads, cymbals, kits.. you name it. Dennis is a great guy and will help you find what youre looking for. Go there and enjoy an honest to goodness drum shop!

Quickly received a used set of Yamaha DTxpress III’s electronic drum set, and couldn’t be happier. The price was right, and they came wrapped in $49 worth of protective paper and bubble wrap. It’s not every day online customers receive great care and attention (from any retailer). Thank you again Long Island drum center for what I consider to be an impressive purchase experience (first time customer, 56 years behind the drum kit?.

I purchased a cymbal online through LIDCs drumming deals website. Not only did i get a great cymbal deal (about half off the retail) but they shipped the cymbal protected on all four sides with the edges secured. Will definitely shop again with LIDC!

Top Notch service from a drummer in his own right. Always service with a smile, good prices, super helpful, and a good selection of drums and drum equipment. Been going here for many years and Im never disappointed.

I have returned to the drums after 55 years, believe it or not. I visited the usual big box stores, Sam Ash and Guitar Center and the service provided was mediocre at best. Not until I visited the Long Island Drum Center didI receive superb service from a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Dennis is outstanding in every way and has become my “go to” authority on everything related to drumming. I purchased a beautiful Ludwig Element Evolution drum kit from Dennis and I couldn’t be happier. Long Island Drum Center is the one stop shop for drummers!

When I first moved to NYC, I lived on Long Island and The Long Island Drum Center helped me establish some Drumming Family Roots!!!! I’m forever grateful to Dennis Ricci for providing then, and still going strong today, a place where ALL DRUMMERS NEEDS are lovingly taken care of!!! Groove on Dennis!

Just returned after a 17 year hiatus. I was hoping to see Dennis behind the desk just as I remembered as a teenager, and there he was-(handsome Bastid). My parents used to drop me off as a kid, and Dennis was always welcoming to my family and I.I would never want to spend my hard earned money anywhere else! Its a family ran, local business and I want everyone to keep it that way!Now, 17 years later, I just bought my 3 year old daughter her first pair of drum sticks and pad (which she loves by the way) and I cant tell you how good it feels to keep this alive with THE LONG ISLAND DRUM CENTER.Thank you for the old memories and looking forward to keeping the spirit alive.

Called and asked about a 10 tombek that they had advertised on their website. Whoever I spoke to didnt know anything about it and he said that he would call me back soon with some info on it. They did call back but it was 4 hours later!! They were nice about it on the phone but i thought the call back would have been quicker!! Will still do business with them in the future!!!

Disappointing and difficult staff to deal with. We tried repeatedly - over a 3 month period - to order from and contact them. They never replied to our e-mails or phone calls... we always had to call them back or send another e-mail after days & even weeks - just to place the order. Once the order was placed & they said wait 4-6 weeks, we waited and followed-up after getting zero status or updates. Once they answered the phone, THATs when they told us the order was never processed and our items arent available. Thats strange since we ordered those same items from another business later that day with a promised delivery within 2 weeks. Maybe LIDrums in-store service is better, but I wont try ordering online from them again.

I prefer to buy online, nobody is trying to influence my choices, or steer me to what they have the most on stock of. If going there makes you feel in tune with your drumming, so be it! Too bad too, I like checking out the gear!

For me... the Very Best place to Purchase Drums.!!I have been a customer with Dennis for over 30 years. He has Always treated better then any other retail shop.!!!I have made numerous purchases ( several drum kits, cymbals, DVDs, sticks, racks ) and I always come back to Dennis with a price quote from another shop and he AlWAYS tries to satisfy my concerns. And I end up completely Happy with my purchase.Thru the years, I have asked for odd pieces at times, and they go above and beyond to find exactly what I am looking for.Also, thru the years, I have gotten to see some of the greatest players at Denniss seminars ( Tim Alexander ) or clinics.I am presently going back to LI for an upgrade on my Roland TD-30 kit, to a TD-50.I hope LIDC is around for as long as I am.To keep me happy in my second love in my lifeDrums.!!!!!! And Playing.!!!👍👍👍.!!!
