Drums International

Stirchley High street is full of shops that cater for single-​issue shoppers. Amongst them there’s a tobacconist, a vacuum cleaner repair shop and… a shop for drummers! Very niche indeed.
As a musician I’m unable to walk past without sticking my head round the door. My son is becoming obsessed with drums (and making a noise and hitting things, generally) so he is absolutely fascinated by this place. The staff are very tolerant of my little boy and let him belt the odd thing with a watchful eye.
Alongside a fairly decent selection of drums and percussion instruments, this place also provides drum tuition, so if you fancy yourself as the next Buddy Rich, or if you have a little one that is showing signs of being a drummer, you might want to pop in for a chat.

You probably won’t be surpirsed to find out that Drums International doens’t sell penguins, Persian rugs, Peyote cactuses or other exotic goods that begin with the letter P. That’s right, it sells drums! Mostly of the kind that have been a prequisite for rock and pop acts since the dawn of time. By a full kit, or buy drum bits and pieces, and obviously a wide selection of skins and sticks are available. Luckily the staff are friendly enough to talk to, so there’s plenty of adivce on hand if you need advice n your purchases. And if all this drum talk has unleashed an urge within you to become the next Dave Grohl or Keith Moon they can point you in the way of tuition. A low key, well run specialist music shop aimed at the cheaper end of the market that knows what it’s doing and does it well. Well worth a visit if you’re in the makret for some drum bits and pieces.
