Pretty blown away by this place. By far the most epic drum shop Ive ever seen or even heard of. The selection of, EVERYTHING drums, is just unmatched. Jayme was the guy helping me; he knew his stuff, was incredibly helpful and took tons of time getting me exactly what I wanted. Great experience, highly recommend visiting this place.

I prefer maple hoops for my snare drums and was having a difficult time finding them. DCP had them in stock and shipped them to me immediately! Great service.

DCP is world class in the league of Mega Brick and Mortar shops.On a rainy day Ill hop out to YouTube and go for a test drive on the latest with Shane and crew.Absolutely boggling selection, state of the art video / sound tests and comparisons in a beautiful setting.Service and communication is top notch.

Thank you! Exceptionally helpful customer service when I called to purchase a Keplinger. Shipping arranged that day and it was on its way by the following morning.

Being from TX, I could order from and support places that are much closer to me, but DCP has been such a great one stop shop, that I dont want to do business with anyone else. You have the best drum reviews on YouTube and are the best at everything you do. Keep it up guys!

Went here July 4th weekend because I wanted to see Mike Manginis kit in person as well as check out the store. It really is the biggest drum store Ive ever been in. Felt like a kid in a huge candy store. So much to look at!Store has two floors and an awesome museum. Wish I could have spent more time there. Staff was very friendly and courteous.

Visited the shop this summer. Adam was setting up a video and gave me a tour of the shop. Just ordered and received my dream kit: a Tama Star Bubinga rosewood 5 piece with matching snare. Easy financing and shipped same day as order. Received in perfect condition in 9 days from NH to CA. Outstanding customer service and a beautiful shop to visit. Always watching the amazing Youtube videos. Thank you DCP and Shane.

They have a huge selection of high end drumming equipment. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Also a cool museum of old instruments. They host clinics with well know artists as well. Mike Manginis Dream Theater touring set is on display at the moment.

Awesome place for drummers to get what they need. Easy online ordering and quick delivery. Looking forward to visiting on my way through to Maine.

An absolute fantastic experience online, on the phone and an in-person. I dealt with both James and Jeremy and they could not have been more helpful and friendly. Wound up with a exactly what I was looking for at a great price. I will absolutely be giving this place more business in the future.

Take it from me, Ringos long-lost cousin, these are great folks, always willing to help, even if its just advice. Great prices- and if I wasnt 3,000 miles away, I would be in there pestering those good folks daily. What a great place to hang. Drum heaven. Love the videos they do! Made many selections from watching. Thanks you guys, keep it up.

Just received an amazing Dunnett snare drum. Super quick shipping and packaging protection was great. Thanks! Keep these 1 of a kinds coming!

I only live 45 minutes away and FINALLY made my way to DCP. Why did I wait so long?!?! This place is unreal and a drummers Disneyland. Jamie was very nice and accommodating that first visit. A selection of new and vintage drums like you have never seen before. Its worth the trip. Purchased a new Pearl Sensitone snare at a great price. My days of ordering drum gear online are over! Thanks DCP!

I dont live anywhere near NH, but keep finding myself coming back to DCP to get what I need for the next gig or practice. They are one of the few independent drum shops out there which carry my favorite sticks (Promark 5a Rebound Long FYI) and ship them quickly. Prices and shipping are reasonable enough that I decided to make a major cymbal investment through them and trust them to handle my order with care and expedience. Dont order drum gear from Guitar Center, support independent music shops! I would recommend DCP to anyone.

DCP is the absolute best !!!!! Great team, incredible in store stock, fabulous prices. It’s the ONLY place I shop for my drum equipment and have been there to shop as well tho 90 minutes away.Shane and the crew are the best, hands down !!!!!

I dont give out 5 stars loosely but I cant think of another thing that the Drum Center could have done better. From an up-to-date inventory system where I could easily find the exact item I wanted that day when it was sold out everywhere else to ultra-fast Sunday shipping, it was the perfect experience. Thanks for turning my first purchase into a customer for life!

DCP had what I was looking to buy and shipped it out quickly. Competitive prices and great follow-up communication. Will use again.

This place is super awesome. The selection of drums of all varieties and accessories is unmatched. Their customer service was also excellent and Jayme took his time helping me pick out the perfect snare drum.

I consigned a set with Drum Center of Portsmouth, and they gave me a fair price. Then I bought the new kit of my dreams, but it ended up with rattling hardware on the snare. They offered to exchange the whole set for another, but I love it, so they creatively retrofitted new hardware onto my snare (without compromising it) -- at no charge. I was so incredibly impressed and grateful, I had to write this review. Awesome place staffed by drummers who understand how important your sound is. Highly recommend.

I love this store. They really care about every order they receive, whether its big or small. They work hard for your business and they go the extra mile to make sure youre satisfied. I highly recommend Drum Center of Portsmouth for your next drum purchase!

I repeatedly go back to this more local outfit instead of the big box music stores. Their care, service, and super-speedy shipping make it a no-brainer. Thanks DCP!

Fast and free shipping of a rarely available bass drum head at a competitive price. Highly recommended.

Always fast shipping, mostly Free! Equipment is in stock and selection is vast. No-brainer for online drum products--DCP! Thanks!

Ive purchased a ton of stuff from this store. Either directly or through Reverb. I love what they have to offer, theyll show you (you tube) what the items sounds like. Which is really helpful trying to purchase a musical instrument online. They ship you orders out super fast. And if there is a problem they try to make it right. This place is as close to being your local drum shop as the ones in my city. It has that kind of feel to it. Thanks DCP!

Fast shipping. Has a good supply of the items I need to get my old Pearl BLX and MLX kits back in shape.

I would drive the 6 hours just to thank these guys for the outstanding customer service they provide. Great sales experience both online and on the phone, fast free shipping on many items, and by fast, I mean the next day in many cases. DCP should be your number 1 choice for all of your drumming needs!

Drum Center of Portsmouth is a great place for drummers to shop, especially if you dont have a large, independent drummer-operated store in your city. They have items in stock that no one else carries, their prices are reasonable, and shipping on most items is fast and free. They have a fantastic YouTube channel with almost 7000 videos, and these guys really know what they are talking about.

You guys are the best. I enjoy all your videos plus you all are really great drummers. You guys make me too want to play the drums. Thank you!

Super nice guys, extremely knowledgeable with all manufacturers, I had questions about the Mapex Saturn Evolution series versus the Pearl Masters series while I also consider the DW Classic series, the person I spoke with asked me key questions that actually made me stop and think about what I really wanted out of my next kit (trading up from Premier). I expect to make some major purchases from DCP in 2021 and into 2022, you just cant beat their customer service, if I could recommend one thing to DCP, try offering a FREE Lob-stah with every $500 purchase, steamed not boiled, us guys in Arizona dont get out very often (LOL) :) .........

Its a showcase for business that reminds me why the mega discount stores are without service or selection. The store is a paradise for drummers. Anyone looking to see what a specialty retail store should look and feel like should visit, it is refreshing.

Excellent thoughtful service--lightning fast delivery and great price

DCP is the coolest drum store anywhere. My order was shipped within 1/2 hour and had tracking number. Not only that it’s only one of three states that has no sales tax purchasing online and no shipping. The price you see is what you pay. I bought an awesome Gretsch Bell Brass snare. The tax exempt saved me $91.00 I would have spent anywhere else. Their you tube reviews are awesome as well.

Very good advice, very good service, fast processing and shipping.Absolutely professional service and the snare sounds fantastic.greetings from germany.p.s.: the guy from customs thanks you for the second sticker ;-)

Best selection of drum equipment that I have ever found. If you are new or a seasoned drummer I would suggest coming here before going online and purchasing. The hands on element when buying drum gear is of paramount importance. Their selection is unparalleled and there are options for EVERY budget. It can be difficult to find high end and one of a kind pieces, but Drum Center of Portsmouth has the options.Staff is knowledgeable and professional.Highly suggest taking some time to view their museum upstairs.

Great service. Packaging was first class. The item arrived in a timely manner without issue as a result. Price point was very good. Highly recommend Drum Center of Portsmouth

My first purchase with DCP was some time ago (forget exactly when) but I purchased a Gretsch Bell Brass snare. My experience with that was positive enough that when it came time to purchase a new kit, DCP was the first place on my mind. The Tama Star Walnut drums and hardware pictured all came from DCP. Including a custom ordered 8” tom. (That took a while to get from Japan. But understandable) I worked directly with Shane on that purchase and he was friendly and a pleasure to work with. All of my orders always arrive quickly with excellent communication from DCP and well packaged. Their website is easy to navigate and love that they carry so many fine, higher end drum brands. The choices are sometimes overwhelming, but in a good way! Sometimes I go to their website just to stare at all the kits!!! LOL! DCP will continue to be my #1 online source for all things drum related.

Best drum shop I have ever been to in all my professional years of playing drums. Great products and sales people. Thanks Shane, you do your videos justice.

I have been wanting to visit /shop at this drum emporium for years. 🥁 awesome place fantastic friendly staff incredibly selection of all percussion instruments Some of the most beautiful drum kits Ive ever seen. Came from Chicago to see it and it was worth the drive.

So impressed with how fast my congas came in! And it was free shipping!! Thank you Drum Center of Portsmouth!

The website is organized and up to date relative to the inventory, which is extensive. Their product videos are spot on and very helpful when you just can’t be there in person. They ship fast fast fast. Items are securely packaged and arrive ready to paradiddle to your hearts content. You can’t go wrong here.

Solid advice for new drummers. Informative videos designed to help make intelligent decisions. Excellent and courteous customer service.Thank YouBill M.

The best Ive found! In this day and age good customer service is almost unheard-of. They actually care at dcp!

I was drawn to The Drum Center of Portsmouth because of their comprehensive Youtube video reviews. Additionally, I called and had a great informative conversation with Pete who answered my numerous questions. The conversation was not rushed and was very consultative. This made my decisions clear to order a shell pack, requisite hardware and head packs.

These guys are great, the best drum store in the country owned and operated by drummers! You know these guys have your best interests in mind, and their superb service shows. Keep it up guys!

Drum Center has been one of the best places to buy my gear. Great service, fast shipping, and they take care of their customers. Thanks again

Ive searched many sites for repair parts for my hardware. Snare drums, snare stand etc... The only site that had what I needed was Drum Center of Portsmouth. I have spent thousands of hard earned dollars over the years on percussion equipment. I will check with DCP FIRST !!

Shane and crew are the best in the world .. They have everything a professional drummer could ever want or need . This is the place you go if you want the big boy toys and get the facts of the gear before you make your purchase .. I wont shop anywhere else .

Found out about this store from their YouTube videos comparing different drum sets. Those videos are great and I highly recommend checking them out if you are in the market for a new set. The online store has a huge selection, good prices, and fast shipping.

Friendly web site, good prices, quick delivery

Hello from Wylie, Texas! I always end up at DCP. I hear of something new or not in my collection, and if you guys dont have it you will have it on its way to me asap. I have several top of the line snare drums that I couldnt find around the Dallas area, and thanks to you my collection is up to 60!Now Im designing a Tama concert tom set like I had back around 1980 and when Im ready to take the plunge I already know which site to go to!Special thanks to Shane and the crew, youll be hearing from me soon!!!!

Delivered quickly and well packaged. Best prices I could find! I will definitely order from them again and again and again!!!

I have been a DCP customer since some of the early days. Its a business steeped in integrity, product knowledge and communication. They are competitive, and informative and have detailed videos regarding specific makes and models and very helpful comparative videos, as well. Its great to have such amazing resources all in one place. Drum Center of Portsmouth is the cream of the crop.

DCP has the best selection and service Ive ever seen! This snare is the best drum Ive ever invested in! The sound, projection, and response are awesome! Highly recommend Yamaha Absolute Hybrid Maple

The best drum shop.

A great place for all things drumming!Good prices, good service, easy website and very fast shipping. .Ill be back, thank you!

I ordered 6 pairs of Vater Swing drumsticks from Drum Center of Portsmouth and they had them in stock when others didnt and got them delivered to me lightning fast when others couldnt so I am extremely happy with DCP and their commitment to excellent, professional service and will definitely shop there again.

Great selection and fast shipping! Absolute pros. Always my first choice for any of my drum needs

My husband and I went here, as he kept saying I want to go and check that place out. It was way better than we ever expected!!! Especially for him. We loved the huge variety and the museum part was awesome!!! Great place!!

The best place to get drum stuff. They have everything!!! Professional team, thanks Barrett.

I was browsing Gretsch dealers on the internet for a set like this and the Drum Center of Portsmouth had it. But the story does not end there. Ordering, the shipping, the delivery, and the condition of the delivered goods were superb. Id do it again.

Shane and crew,Just wanted to say thank you for the quick service that I received on this recent order. It was scheduled to be delivered on Friday, 10/1 but, I received it today, 9/29! Two days early! Your prompt attention is greatly appreciated! I have visited many drum shops during my travels around the country, i.e. Rupps Drums in Denver, The Drum Shop in Portland, ME, Rythym Traders in Portland, OR, Steve Maxwells in NYC and the famed Memphis Drum Shop to name a few. I have been in all of your different locations over the years there in Portsmouth. I must say that your current shop is by far the best! It certainly trumps ALL of the above mentioned shops! Thanks again and keep up the great work!Robert AllenLowville, NY

Great drum shop in a great town.And great service online too!Thank you!!

The Drum Center of Portsmouth is TOP NOTCH! I have been shopping with Shane and Tony since the shop first opened and you will not find better customer service or professionalism anywhere. I highly recommend DCP to the beginner drummer all the way up to the professional players all around the world. Thank you Shane for creating such a wonderful drum community!

Great service, fast response and delivery, and excellent product. Awesome addition to my studio kit of Gretsch Catalinas!

If you are a drummer this is one of the best places to get great gear. They also test and demo all the latest stuff for drums so you get a really good idea for comparison and refining your selection. Always helpful and fast, great service.

Always awesome service from knowledgeable guys! Great prices, top of the line products! Very satisfied

The staff at DCNH answered my questions, guided me to the best decision (that was not the most expensive of my options!) and were friendly on the phone. The drums arrived 2 days after I ordered them.

I have purchased a few times with them online, they are helpful, responsive and quick to ship. I also like their selection.The only negative I can say is as I live in the Chicago area and them in New Hampshire I cant go visit their store!!

Once again the folks at DCP have shown their amazing customer service. I wanted to try out some new sticks, the inventory said there was three pairs available and so I ordered those three pairs. Unfortunately, the inventory was incorrect. But they quit contacted me and made the situation right and even better. It’s the kind of relationship DCP always say they want. Well it’s the one they have with me. If you need professional drums, cymbals, or accessories, you need to go to Drum Center of Portsmouth.

No matter what - every time I order something, it comes fast, always what I order-no mistakes and please, dont change a thing- you all are the best!

Evans package was phenomenal at a great price. Fast processing and very fast shipping. I will be a return customer for sure. Thanks.

I felt incredibly informed before my purchase from watching the DCP YouTube channel. They get very specific on the item, and you feel like you have all you need to have confidence in your purchase. Drumming for 40+ years, and not having bought new equipment in 20 years, Intust these guys to help me get up to speed.

Amazing place and the customer service is top notch. Tell them what you are looking for or need, and they immediately direct you to the right product. Only place we go!!

Drum Center of Portsmouth is well stocked with everything a percussionist needs- from complete drum sets to individual drums. They also have a vast array of cymbals and sticks available to purchase. Upstairs is a drum museum full of some really cool and rare drum sets to view.

Great products with competitive pricing and outstanding customer service!!!! Always receive my orders within 3 days!!! Love this place, wish I lived closer to frequent in person more often!!!

Awesome shop! Staff very friendly and helpful! Have been shopping with them for many years both in-store and online. Highly recommend them!

Bought a Gretsch Catalina Club 4 piece Mahogany drum kit. Fantastic price, fast shipping, and excellent service. The kit is absolutely gorgeous and sounds fantastic. I highly recommend DCP for all your percussion needs.

Amazing, huge drum store, one of my favorite places to go regularly. That being said, Do Not expect the phone to be answered, do not expect to find associates wandering around to help, and do not expect most of them to know as much about drums as you do. I miss the days when you would get customer service like Sweetwater or Anthony at Village Drum in RI. Now its all about YouTube videos, editing, and securing the next $1000 boutique snare drum deal. Dont get me wrong, those things are fantastic, they get an A+. But some of us remember 10+ years ago, when they were still rightfully mad at Chris Dealerman, and the store looked like Mike Sangelos, but the service was amazing. Even just a few years ago the service was amazing. Im well know in the area for owning approximately 100 drumsets on any given day, but only 1 from here. I want Village Drum (RI)/Sweetwater style customer service when I drop thousands of dollars.....5 star store, 1 star customer service too often

I am pleased to give the Drum Center of Portsmouth my highest recommendation. Im a long time Gretsch drummer and DCP has been my go to dealer for several years. After playing Zildjian cymbals exclusively for decades, I recently moved to Paiste. DCP offers a huge inventory of Paiste cymbals. DCPs video comparisons of the various Gretsch and Paiste lines are well done and have been very helpful as I make informed decisions about purchases. For the best prices, service, quick shipping and knowledgeable staff you cant beat DCP!

I have ordered from them MULTIPLE times in the past year for my husband. Their order processing and delivery speed are beyond awesome. Now when hubby wants something, he automatically checks their site first.Thank you guys for the wonderful customer service and care❤️

This is one of the best experiences Ive ever had purchasing and receiving drum equipment. The selection of this store has me hooked. Great pricing, great service, fantastic products. I will definently be purchasing my next round of gear from here again.Thank you so much!

DCP always has what I need and if not, they can get it. They were able to fulfill a special order for me that no other music retailer would. Great drum store!

DCP is the best online drum shop I have encountered and I know a lot about drum shops since Ive spent half of my life in them. They have the best inventory and variety of brands. Their staff is very drum savvy and very friendly which is important to me. Their prices are always low and competitive and shipping is lightening fast. Their the gear education and brand profiles serve a valuable function for customer and drum makers. I like dealers that are committed to educating the customer about new choices on the market. DCP is my go to source for all things drums.

Searched the web from replacement parts for my Ludwig snare drum. DCoP was the only supplier who had parts in stock. Placed order with DCoP on Sat. and parts delivered on Mon. via USPS. Great lead time... surprised because used USPS as the shipper.

Great selection and prices. Quick order processing as well.

It is the nicest drum shops that I have ever seen. They have an amazing selection, and Shane has earned the high regards that they have received.The museum alone is worth the visit, but you’ll spend even more time looking over the snare walls.

This is my favorite online drum shop by far. I always get my orders fast and returns are easy. They have a huge inventory of all the drum accessories you need and they show a true appreciation for their customers!! Thank you, Shane and team!! 😁

I recently bought a Jojo Mayer Perfect Balance Pedal from this shop. The price was excellent, as I made use of a 10% promotional discount. Shipping was free. I received the package within three days.The pedal is exceptional. It is highly adjustable, with independent settings for footboard height and beater angle. One of my main reasons for selecting this pedal was that the spring is positioned and angled so that it engages slightly later in the stroke, when the beater is closer to the head. This makes it easier to strike the drum & the spring has more effect on the rebound, giving the pedal a faster feel. This is definitely the best pedal I’ve ever used and I was able to quickly set it up to work perfectly with my playing technique.

Drum Center of Portsmouth carries a wider range of products for some of the brands I like than do other shops. If youre a fan of Wuhan cymbals, for example, I believe they carry pretty much every product in their catalog - some are almost surely exclusive to DCP. Prices are competitive with anyone and shipping is fast and always done right.

I recently discovered DCP from their youtube videos and I needed a floor tom and a 13 mounted tom and they had both in the color that I needed . They got them shipped out quickly from the manufacturer and at a good price . I am looking forward to see the store in person soon . Thanks for the great customer service .

Great service and selection! Had the items I needed in stock and shipping was lightning fast.

I have a Drum Store within a half an hour drive of where I live, and I live over 1500 miles away from DCP, but I choose to shop for almost 100% of my drumming supplies at DCP. Why? Because Shane and his guys are on a relentless mission to be the top drum store in the country, if not the world, and we are the beneficiaries of their dedication. Their attention to detail, customer service, and shipping, are unrivaled. And they achieve all this while maintaining consistently low prices.

Great drum shop! Good prices and some great deals .Great products.

Fantastic store, extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff! Had everything I thought they would and then some!

Drum Center of Portsmouth is the absolute best in the business! Top notch products handled by the most knowledgeable, friendly, and professional staff! They have earned my business..forever!

These guys are just the best. They always have what I need and ship it fast. I went through them for a backordered item and they stayed in regular contact with me, giving me updates about my orders arrival. You couldnt ask for a better shopping experience. Not to mention their product review videos on YouTube are top notch. These guys are cleaning up when it comes to catering to drummers.

Ive been purchasing drum equipment from DCP for many years now. They have the best selection of gear in the North East. They are the only real drum shop around that carry hard to find pieces as well as high end drums nobody else carries. The staff is highly knowledgeable.

Every drummer needs to be aware of this wonderful group of people working at this store in New Hampshire. I would start with all of the You Tube videos, and then wander through the vast online catalog. You will probably find everything you ever wanted for your percussion passion. I did and will always go back here first for drums. My Yamaha Stage Customs shipped out the day I ordered and were here safely on my studio floor in 2 days, and customer support is unrivaled.

I have now purchased 3 times and the shipping is fast, packaged well, and I know Im getting a quality product, one of these days I will visit in person, the place looks amazing!! I will continue to do business with them because the selection is much better than a chain store and due to me being only a few states away I get my order faster than any chain store as well, thanks again DCP

Great service and Im super stoked on my Yamaha EAD 10. This thing is beyond amazing.
