Guitar Center Launches Destination Drum Shop


Destination Drum Shop initiative kicks off in 10 stores nationwide, providing an
enhanced assortment of high-end gear and more for drummers and percussionists


Westlake Village, CA (July 20, 2017) – Today, Guitar Center, the world’s largest instrument retailer, announced the launch of the Destination Drum Shop initiative, an elevated assortment of high-end acoustic drum kits, cymbals, electronic drum kits, snare drums, accessories and more that will allow musicians to experience the best selection of gear under one roof. Starting on July 22, Destination Drum Shop will feature ready-to-play top-of-line gear from manufacturers such as DW, Gretsch, Ludwig, Mapex, Pearl, Roland, Sabian, Sonor, Tama, Yamaha, Zildjian and more in 10 locations nationwide.

The new offering is a veritable treasure trove for drum and percussion enthusiasts, featuring a large selection of high-end and limited products, including modern and classic styles, all of which are available for drummers of all skill levels to play, and ultimately find the perfect setup for their unique sound. The selection of gear is the largest assortment of drum inventory in-store from Guitar Center to date that will allow drummers to experience the best brands hands-on.

Providing a shopping experience unlike any other, Guitar Center’s Destination Drum Shop will give drummers the ability to demo some of the world’s most coveted kits and learn more from a dedicated Drum Champion, a designated point person at each Destination Drum Shop location that has advanced training directly from factory specialists, so musicians will receive an individualized and more informed shopping experience.
 
“Destination Drum Shop further underscores Guitar Center’s ongoing commitment to the drum and percussion market and provides our customers with hands-on access to some of the most comprehensive selection of drum and percussion products to date,” said Glenn Noyes, Director of Merchandise at Guitar Center. “For drum and percussion musicians to have all of the best products from top manufacturers under one roof is truly a ‘kid in a candy shop’ experience for our customers.”
