Every drummer knows that with the right gear and setup, creativity flows more freely. So when you shop and have questions on drum stuff, you want answers from someone who knows about your needs and challenges. Who else is better qualified than a fellow drummer with hands-on experience and decades of tech expertise? This is what you can expect from us.

When you call or email, Vintage Drum Center founder and owner, Ned Ingberman, will personally help you. He answers questions, but also asks them. That gives him a better sense of what gear suites you best. Is direct access to the owner of an e-commerce website unusual? Yes, but it’s how we do things here. Drumming is personal and you deserve the attention of an expert with a close personal connection to your craft.

Ned’s background in music has prepared him well for what he does. As a student he studied with Ted Reed in New York City, and at Berklee College of Music in Boston. He’s played drums professionally in all genres of music. Since 1987, when Vintage Drum Center began, Ned has inspected and repaired thousands of drums. His technical and historical articles on vintage drums have appeared in Modern Drummer and DRUM Magazine.
