Al Drew's Music Center is a small, friendly business known for its wide variety of musical instruments and gear. The store is a treasure hunt for musicians, offering vintage drums, cymbals, hardware, and parts, especially specializing in vintage Rogers items. Customers appreciate the helpful and knowledgeable staff, especially the owner, who provides excellent service and makes visitors feel at home. The store has a relaxed, sometimes messy, atmosphere that appeals to those who enjoy digging through musical "treasure." Prices are fair and competitive with larger music retailers.

Despite the challenges faced by small businesses during the pandemic, Al Drew's Music Center remains a beloved resource with a cool, welcoming vibe and a display that feels like a drum museum.

Small business catering to many types of instruments. This the kind place were you'll never know what treasure you might find. I found one. Support small business folks. They can order it and the prices within ballpark of music conglomerates. Support small business. Not some guys investment portfolio.
