Bentley’s Drum Shop

Huge fan of Bentley’s. I’ve been purchasing virtually all of my drum products from here since at least 2006 when it was still located on Shields ave. Dana has always been a great help and is a drum shop owner who goes above and beyond for his customers. He and the rest of Bentley’s staff make you feel more like family than just a customer and collectively have extensive experience as well as knowledge in drums and percussion.
The shop has a plethora of drum kits to choose from and is stocked full of awesome percussion instruments and accessories as well as cymbals, electric kits and more. You’ll certainly find what you’re looking for here. Dana and his staff also tune your drums for you at no cost. Not to mention they host free drum clinics and seminars every month. This place is awesome!

If you’re a fan of Drum Workshop (DW drums), Bentley’s is a great place. I had the chance to visit while working in town a while back, and walked out with a very rare DW 40^th anniversary snare. Dana and the employees are real nice and helpful.

Bentley’s recently moved/​moving to Blackstone into the old Bilsteins and from the outside their new shop looks dynamite, can’t wait to visit. When I first walked into their old shop on Shields it reminded me of a small West Coast Drum Shop thats located in Orange County. Thats the drum shop I grew up in and spent way too much money at over the years. The owner plays and is very knowledgeable, they offer lessons and they offer good deals on equipment.
I don’t have anything against Guitar Center and I do buy my guitar equipment there, but drums are my first love and Bentley’s has a better pulse on the local music scene.
They’ve got the basic starter sets up to the high end Gretsch, Ludwig, etc. They also carry almost every brand of cymbal you can think of.
Get on their mailing list and they’ll send you notice of great factory sponsored events at their shop.
