  Steve Maxwell Drums but go with Willie Martinez! He has been doing it for years and not only does he repair he tunes and he is a genius. I been dealing with him for at least 20 years! http://www.maxwelldrums.com/maxwell-announcements-repair-shop-with-willie-martinez-c-192_251.html

  Re: Nice drum shop/shops in NYC? o yea dude! we have amazing shops here, First you HAVE to go Steve Maxwells drum shop, best cymbal collection probably anywhere. its between 48 th and 49 th on the third floor of the high rise. heres the link for perfect directions and if you go on a thursday you just might see me there, also you will most likely see pros there. this is where i surround my self with drum knowledge most often. last time i was there alicia keys drummer and engineer bought 30,000 dollars worth of snares to sample for her next album, ask them about it great story. www.maxwelldrums.com the next shop is just right done the street from maxwells its called drummersworld, like this place but with an S. its on the 5 th floor i think on 46 th? go to the website for perfect directions www.drummersworld.com you wont see me there most likely lol. i do go in there every so often to bang on this amazing one of a kind flat ride that is way out of my price range (and probably yours) some alchemist dude made it. and finally right in between the 2 shops is sam ash nyc, the least of NYC percussion scene similar to your local sam ash or guitar center its on 48 th between broadway and 6 th ave, thats like sam ash row, the whole block is sam ash. there is also a guitar center down on 14 th street, i have only been there 1 time since i have lived here. why go there when you have specialty shops with better prices.
