Jeff Ryder’s Drum Shop

Locally owned and operated. I always try to support the local retailer when I can. By far the best Drum supply store in San Antonio. I came in there in need of some Promark Neil Peart 747 Signature Drumsticks. The young sales lady was immediately on it when I made my request. She was so friendly and very helpful! Made the quick visit to the store a great shopping experience since I was truly pressed for time and needed to be back on the road to Wichita Falls. I highly recommend you give this place a try for all your percussion needs.

Best place to buy drums in san antonio. Sam ash and guitar center ain’t got shit on this joint.
Jeff is one of the most knowledgeable guys I’ve met when it comes to drums and gear. Being a gear nerd myself, he definitely is well read and is on the frontline of what’s going on.
He even has used and vintage gear at much more reasonable prices than anywhere else in town.
Honest to goodness quality and service in a local place, check it out.

I married a drummer. End of story I find myself in music/​instrument shops quite often picking up this or that for him. Myself having no musical instrument ability or knowledge what so ever I usually have him on the phone nearby of have the wonderful experience of describing what I need…
So being sarcastic. Jeff Ryder’s employees are always helpful making sure I get the correct thingamabob or screwy thing or what not. Seriously after eight years I still have no clue on why there are so many types of drum sticks. Employees are well knowledge and will explain all options for you. Making one look like an amazing wife when I get what was needed.
Jeff Ryder’s is defiantly a Drum Shop and the focus on this. A better selection than other instrument stores around town when it comes to drums. They do have a few guitars and equipment around. Prices are sometimes a bit higher but it is a specialized store so no complaints. It does beat going all over town looking for something when I know it will be in stock here.

I went in to purchase a stand for chimes. The associate was very helpful and explained the different options for me. Bought a boom stand and left satisfied. Will definitely come back for future drum supplies.

I bought my first drum set here. Took my first drum lessons here.
Go see the guys down here and find out why Jeff Ryder’s is the best around.

Why, oh why, out of all the musical instuments that my husband could play, did he choose the drums? For better or worse, drums are his passion and I have basically gotten used to seeing the drumset in our dining room, residing where we used to eat at a dining room table.
I was dragged along to Jeff Ryder’s on the way to dinner one night and was actually impressed with the store. Selection and price wise, there really is no comparison to any other music instument store in town. One of the best things offered here is the ability to trade in drum parts and get something else.
The store isn’t huge, but the employees are knowledgable and very friendly. They do sell some guitars here and the random bongo, but if shopping for a drummer, this is the place to go.
