When Vintage Drum Center first began in 1987, it was with a "handful" of drums and one small classified ad. The hope which inspired us was that enough drummers would love vintage drums as much as we did. And in time we found that many thousands did! Our president, Ned Ingberman, has years of experience as a professional musician, drum instructor, appraiser and repair technician. He studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston and contributes technical articles to Modern Drummer Magazine. Ned will personally answer all questions that you have about any product we sell. He is available 9 am to 5 pm central time, Mon-Fri. Just call us toll free at 800-729-3111. Vintage Drum Center specializes in high quality vintage drums and cymbals. Every vintage drum we acquire has been carefully inspected and evaluated for cosmetic, acoustical and structural/functional quality, as well as for originality (see our extensive quality control checkpoint system "How To Inspect A Vintage Drum.") We grade our drums according to a standardized system that let's you know what our criteria are (see "Vintage Drum Grading System"). To keep the grading process objective we put ourselves in your shoes and grade each item as if we were the customer. You'll get nothing less than what you expect and we back it up with our guarantee. Vintage gear has been and will continue to be our specialty. We also know that drummers need more than just vintage gear. That's why we also bring you a large selection of new products to enhance your repertoire of drumming gear such as: Remo heads; Zildjian, Sabian, Paiste, Istanbul and Wuhan cymbals; Vic Firth drum sticks & mallets; oriental gongs; Gibraltar racks, stands and pedals; drum & hardware cases; drum replacement parts; drum videos and DVDs; practice pads and much more! One more way we are committed to serving you is through our editorial articles and banners. These are featured on our Web site and in our Online Vintage Print Catalog. We hope you'll take a few minutes to read them. Also See: |
