Best Drum Store Sterling Heights Near Me

Dfree Dfree: Bobby is the greatest!

Kevin R.: Heres an updated review with some helpful information. Guitar Center is not a great place to buy guitars. They do nothing to ensure the guitars are set up correctly, and they rarely ever come set up correct from the factory. Back in the day guitar shops would inspect and fine tune each guitar before they hung it on the wall. That way it actually stays in tune and plays well. If youre looking to buy a guitar, find a small shop that still cares.Now for repairs, for anything more than a simple string change, find a luthier. I learned the hard way. I was having issues with tuning stability. Guitar Center, Huber and Breeze, and 2 other smaller shops all did a bare minimum, rush job where they slap some strings on, and never diagnose the problem. But they charge you like they did ($100+) only for you to be disappointed.I found an affordable Luthier who actually does the work. Chris Frantz, Clinton Township. He brought my guitars back to life. He builds amazing guitars and can fix anything. He was the 5th person i tried and the only one to put the actual time and effort in. thats why im mentioning him here. i want to save someone the hassle i went through. None of those other places were able to get my guitar to stay in tune after using the whammy bar. That was their assignment and they all failed. pretty basic stuff if you do repairs. they should hang their heads in shame. except for chris frantz.

Catherine Private Email: I don't understand this. But maybe I should of said something, but in away it's ok, just to let you know they lost a customer, a good customer. We constantly buy at Guitar Center for everything for our group and my issue here was, that i had my bass and guitar tuned here before and we were told you don't get charge for that, but today we were charged $20 to get a guitar tuned. I seen he was very busy and a lot of work, but that's exactly for what he gets paid for. Anybody knows anything different.? Roseville 👎👎👎👎👎👎 What t t they don't know i do reviews and honest reviews... This mis your Review 👎👎👎👎👎👎 WHAT WAS SO DIFFERENT FROM TODAY TO THE OTHER DAYS?

Dave Anyguy: These guys are almost always on point. There have been a couple of associates in the past that haven't been that great. In the last three or four years though I haven't had a problem at all. I still think their prices are absurd but then again all prices are absurd right now. There are some really good used deals in the building though.

Lisa Edwards: Went in the buy a pedal board Bass tuner. No one ever addressed or ack owledge me despite the fact that I was standing at the counter. I decided to go to Huber * Brese.

Alford Daniels: Bobby,Chris,Tom,Billy and Dylan was very helpful in my questions and music needs. Would recommend this place hands down for all your musical needs

Tim Parlin: Awesome selection, very nice staff

Taylor B: Bought a bass from there today, and was assisted by AJ. AJ was very friendly and knowledgeable on the stock they had in the store and he was very helpful in assisting me with trying out a few basses. The best part of of it all was that AJ went above and beyond to assist not only me, but many other customers on the sales floor. He told me that his shift was set to end at 4 pm, which was about the time I walked into the store, and he stuck around for long after 4 pm helping me and others. If looking for buying an instrument, ask for AJ. He was very helpful and easy to work with.

Brandon Williams (CAPO): 🐑

Nick Wood: Seemed a little understaffed but all the employees were super helpful got me what I needed and were very friendly.

Heather Brewer: Great customer service and nice selection.

Jeremy Hogan: My brother and I came in today to buy a lot of music equipment. My brother had help almost instantly and got all his questions awnsered within no time in the recording/ audio section. However for myself in the guitar section I got zero help and when I picked my guitar out I got the guitar snatched out of my hands while finding a matching strap for it. You guys need to find new employees for that section. You lost a huge sale today considering I was about to buy a new orange amp, gretsch guitar, chords and pedals. If im going to spend over a k on equipment I expect help. The guy even asked me if I've been helped and I said " absolutely no one has put in a effort to help me out" . Yet still after that he didn't even bother to help me! He just walked away with my guitar!

Timothy Cullensla2i9 9 opp wy: Great store except useless employees, associates at walmarts help out more when looking for something, OMG, 2022 and went back to that store and it is worse, they discriminate now

DeeDee Allemon: Billy was the BEST KNOWLEDGEABLE, FRIENDLY & CONSIDERATE salesman... explained what we wanted, showed us a few different guitars and he explained all options with them. Never felt pressured, but was completely comfortable with the guitar we chose for our son. Thank you Billy, I will always recommend you. 👌

Joey Kittel: Best spot for quick gear!!!

Robert Hickey: Why give Guitar Center in Roseville on Gratiot Ave a 5 Star rating? Buckle up... Service, respect of customer, friendly, knowledgeable, willingness to go the extra mile, and quality! I ordered a new intermediate f attachment trombone as a Christmas gift for my son. It arrived at the Roseville store. Tom brought it from the back for me. We opened the box and case to check it out. Glad we did. Not Guitar Center's fault... the trombone had issues with the finish and the packing from that company's factory seemed fishy. Without hesitation, Tom grabbed that "new" trombone away from me. Offered a refund or try one more time with that company and model trombone. This time, he would call GC's Kansas warehouse to open the replacement and physically check it before it arrived at the Roseville store. True to Tom's word, Kansas did just that. I'm happy to report that only moments ago, Tom and I opened the second new trombone box/case to find a shiny unmarked trombone just waiting for my son on Christmas morning! Thanks to Tom, the Roseville GC store, and their Kansas warehouse we will have a very appreciative and happy son and rising trombone star! Thank you Tom!!Ask for Tom, I promise you won't be disappointed!Bob

David Buller: Great employee's aways very helpful and considerate 👍.

Max Senopole: This place is great. I play guitar and love to come here to check it out. They have everything you need for guitar like strings, amps, pedals etc... and they also have stuff for bass, keyboards, drums, and more. Workers are always nice. Sometimes there may not be a whole lot there but, it is still a great place.

Carla Chaudoin: Very helpful staff

Gloria Sanborn: Great and helpful employees

Andrew Ekstrom: They are a go to place for used gear. Even though they are part of larger Corp, unlike Guitar Center, they are all franchises.And to anyone that shops there when I'm there, I appologize. I tend to talk with the staff too much. That's on me not them.

Allecia Gates: Awesome music store!! They fixed up an old guitar my students found. Made it sound goood!! and gave me a great price!!! Good people and great service!!!

Miles Huijgen: Awesome music shop with a unique inventory you won’t find anywhere else. Everything from synthesizers to flutes, they have it! Nick and his dad Keith are great owners with friendly staff. They’ve also got lots of new instruments too. Plus they put everything they have on their website. Always a great experience every time I visit!

James Blum: This place is stuffed with goodies for us incorrigible musicians. Timbales, saxophones, an electric upright bass, a DX7, on and on plus the usual guitars and so forth. Nice folks.

Guitarplayer86x: Friendly staff, great selection. Excellent place to find what you need to get started (equipment and lessons/advice). Excellent used pro audio section.

Daniel Peter: A fantastic music store. Keith, Nick, Evan, and Adam are great people, and they’ve taken MGR to a whole new level. This place has tons of gear, and a lot of unique pieces come and go. I’ve definitely found some gems at this spot, and you never know what you’re gonna find each time you visit. A very nice establishment. Well done, guys 🤙🏻🙌🏻

Amber Bowman: Terrible customer service. They don't stand behind their equipment. If there's something wrong with it they are in no hurry to fix it once they have your money. We are a family of musicians and will not be shopping here again.

Tyler Clincher: Went in just to buy strings but had to wait a couple minutes because some clown was arguing with the associate behind the counter about the price he would be getting for his amp. The worker handled it like a champ though and he got to me swiftly. It was cool to look around at everything they have too as a first time shopper. Will be returning soon

David Kreucher: Great Store! I'll be back for sure...

Do Your Job Right: Ruined my guitar twice cant trust these people (edit): according to another store these guys broke my truss rod nut and i gotta get a new neck

Anthony Freeman: Their customer service is incredible. I was selling some heavy, bulky music gear online, and I asked them to package it for me for safe shipping. They went above and beyond to thoroughly secure/protect my items, and box them up right. I was really impressed with their effort. Great people to work with at Music Go Round in Troy.

jeffrey bare: My go to spot for all of my son's instruments and accessories. Great staff

Thomas Kondoff: I have been coming here for many years to both buy and sell equipment and they are the best in the area! Great selection and great staff.

Drum With Jay: I was there to sell off a few things. Everyone there was super cool! They paid me a fair amount for a stack of drum heads I had, considering how they have to resell for a bit of profit! The store is very clean and they have lots of nice things.

Tet Suo: They have a large selection, because their items are mostly overpriced. They ask top used prices. Not a lot of deals to be had here unfortunately.

Charles Palmer: Music Go Round Is A Joy To Me. Nick Found A Part For My Guitar, And Made Me Feel Comfortable On A Very Busy Day. I Would Not Hesitate To Recommend This Location To Anyone I Know. Thank You Very Kindly Nick. I'll Be Back.

Rev Kevin Tanner Sr: My new drum store! Fast friendly courteous. Ill never set foot in another music store, the drum doctor was on point! Suggest Music go round for ALL of your music needs!

Chris Topher: Staff was rude and treated us as if we were in the way. Wanted to buy a guitar, but left out of frustration and disappointment.

Ronda Devine: Nick and his dad were wonderful to work with and I really enjoyed meeting them and the young man behind the counter. We drove 6 hours each way for drums and they were well worth it. Great experience, honest people!

Seth Wyrzykowski: Wonderful shop with amazing staff and extremely fair prices. A definite must check out for any musician looking for nice used gear.

Daniel Welch: Welcoming atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable proprietor.

Korey Krause: Great store and the owner was really nice and was very knowledgeable. I was there picking out my first electric guitar and he was very knowledgeable on the subject and didn’t try to upsell me at all. If your in Utica Michigan I definitely recommend coming here

Kevin R.: I love this place! The owner is super knowledgeable and friendly. they have an impressive selection. they carry a ton of pedals like Boss, JHS, Electro-harmonix, etc. They carry high quality guitar and amps plus other cool stuff like skateboards. i had them do a setup on my PRS and it was very reasonable and well worth it. I'm glad there are still places like this around it blows Guitar Center out of the water

Isaac C: The shop was sympathetic to my curse of left handedness 🙃A friendly and patient owner that happily answered my many questions and helped me find the few little things I needed on a snowy weekday afternoon.Cozy and fun shop vibes. You'll be seeing me in the store again soon. I'll bring my bass next time dude. Thank you!

Will Dozier: Great place, lots of nice wares

James Tomlinson: Knowledgeable and friendly serviceGood music teachers

Nicholas Silvestri: First time coming here, Mike was eager to help me get started. He didn’t push expensive equipment, but quality tools that I would need. He was very helpful in pointing me in which direction to start my learning, hope to be taking weekly lessons soon.

GreenyEcho: Was super helpful, didn’t just try to sell me super expensive products but showed off things within my interests and questions and directed me toward the amp that best suited my needs. Made conversation and talked to me as a person and not just a stranger here to buy something. I plan to head back when I need more equipment.

M Malta: My advice... if you’re heading out to visit your hometown and decide last minute to bring your guitar, remember to grab everything. But if you don’t... Garage Band Music has got you covered. Not only was I able to pick up an emergency amp/cord but they were able to restring my guitar super fast after I snapped a string with no spares or tools to do myself! Great selection of strings, cords, amps. I also saw some mighty nice ukuleles in the back! Mike was great! Super knowledgeable, flexible and a pleasure to meet! Thanks for the rescue!

Matthew slanec: Helpful and friendly staff.

Scott Soucy: Great place to shop and talk. Good selection of strings, as well as all manner of stringed instruments.

Andrew Rickert: Mike is cooler than the dudes at guitar center

George Montgomery: That place is awesome!! the guy is very helpful and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this place..

James Alexander: Mike has been providing courteous, quick, and expert service for years.With Covid19 (84) just call with your order and he will deliver it outside to your parked automobile. Online orders will continue to be shipped out as promptly as possible.

William MacGregor: One of the best local music stores around as probably the nicest owner and he's right there in downtown Utica

N H: They have a great selection of ukuleles, Guitars and accessories. The staff was very friendly and even tuned instruments I wanted to play.I wish I knew about this place sooner! 👍👍👍👍I will definitely be back! Great store!

Michael Lang: Have to give a high rating.. the people are great and know the instruments.. only issues is it lacks the variety of guitars and accessories, if the people were different I have a lower rating.. there pretty close to what going prices are for guitars , couple times eBay or guitar center were cheaper but not by much. It cost more in gas to buy it. So I’m ok with it. There used gear is good. Fair prices.. I like the store I go there before I go anywhere else’s or online

Mary: Purchased a ukulele here and they were so helpful and friendly. Cozy, nice place and good vibes.

Jon H: Friendly

ArmyStrong 204: Don't count on the owner for repairs, you will be blown off for a week straight. He will tell you it'll be done in a day then that turns into a week... but everytime you go in there he's doing nothing.

Marlene De Andrade: Friendly staff and great service!

Rathin Vora: Staff is good and friendly. But takes longe time to clear the work

H Diaz: A small shop with a few items here and there, staff was not very friendly. Call before going, to see if they have what you are looking for.

Bryan Lapid: Very helpful always go here for school supplies for the kids.

Sam Wallace: Marek and others were super helpful especially for a first time customer. Would highly recommend!

Mike Schmidtke: Rock City Music is great! I recently moved to Livonia and was looking for a specific model of guitar. I stumbled upon Rock City's website and found the model I was looking for, but it ended up going out of stock literally the next day. I contacted them on Facebook to get an estimate on if/when more units would arrive. Nick (the owner) was super friendly in his correspondence with me and ended up giving me a great deal on a similar model. The store atmosphere is exactly what you'd want for a guitar/music store - staff were friendly, but not pushy or hanging over my shoulder while I tried the guitar. I also appreciated that they were all wearing masks and asked everyone to use hand sanitizer before playing the instruments. I'll definitely be going to Rock City first for all my guitar needs!Update (March 2023):I've returned to Rock City a few times to pick up gear and have my guitar and bass serviced - all experiences have been great! They even re-fretted my stratocaster, which is no small task! The staff are very nice, and turnaround time for getting work done on my instruments has been completely acceptable (~7-10 days for the tech to start work - comparable to other places I've had work done). In my opinion, this is as good music store as you'll find anywhere! Glad to also be supporting a local business. Keep up the great work!

Adam Bruton: Cool little local shop with friendly staff. Would definitely recommend it. Especially over big box stores.

Corey Williams: The best shop around go see nick they will get you all set up and make sure the guitar works for you amazing service

Kevin Watson: Just recently bought my ibenez Paul Stanley Iceman there and the staff were great with helping me out Nick and Scott are very knowledgeable on products and a great selection of guitars and vinyl and funko pops , t shirts Etc. So drop by this place and check it out

Josie Tea: my teacher is the goat. shout out micheal, absolute W

Kristine Weatherston: My favorite kind of place to spend my money! Tons of sweet Vinyl records, music gear, guitars, Funko, and pinball! Friendly staff and a great sale when I was there in 12/30. Can’t wait to come back!

John Nelson: I've had nothing but positive experiences at this shop through the years. They stock pretty much everything. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. If they don't have it, they will order it for you. Impressive selection of guitars and basses from brands like Fender, Gretsch, Reverend, Jackson and Epiphone. They have a wide array of pedals, amps, drums and parts. Their vinyl section seems to always be growing. They get all the new releases and have tons of used stuff. Awesome place!

Jack O’Neill: Amazing customer service (thanks Scotty)! Will definitely buy from again.

Jim Erickson: Great store. Scottie was awesome! Very happy with my purchasing experience! My "go to" shop from now on.

kayla k: I loved my experience at Rock City Music Company! I got a beautiful red Squier Cyclone, and everyone who worked there was so nice!! They provided fantastic customer service and helped me find the perfect guitar for me. Definitely check this place out, and go dig through their vinyl, too!

Matthew Dubay: After several recommendations, and seeing a 15% off pedal sale on their website I went to check the store out. I mention the website sale and show the sales staff their site on my phone. While waiting for the manager to approve the sale price at their point of sale, they remove the sale from the their site and then refuse to honor the discounted price. To add insult to injury - they don't accept returns exchange only. Avoid this store.

Mike Smithson: I love this place. The staff and owner Nick make me feel like a family member everytime I walk in. They have an awesome collection of quality guitars (love the Charvel's and Reverend's) and gear that can meet anyone's budget. Great for lessons and any type of work you need done on your instrument. Highly rated.

Lisa Frank: Great selection of vinyl~ Cool and helpful staff.

Ray Prevo: Went there specifically to buy a Reverend.Lots of choices. Well worth the drive. Also awesome selection of vinyl as well.KEEP DOING IT RIGHT !! A+

Jeff Schneider: Cool place cool people

Charles Lease: Very friendly and helpful staff. Needed a case for my Gretch G5220 and got a perfect fitting Gretch gig bag for a reasonable price.

Shane Michael Dignan: Rock City Music is the single coolest independent musical instrument retailer in Metro Detroit currently. Where else can you add to your boutique pedal collection, pick up a brand new Charvel, shop for records, and play the newest Iron Maiden-themed pinball machine all in one day? Nick has assembled an absolute all-star veteran cast of music retail sales associates here. I’ve been playing for about 28 years now, grew up in the area, and spent plenty of time at Music Villa, Music Plus, Joe’s Music and others — Rock City Music is the best of all of those old-school establishments and more!

Tim Govier: Great store! All your musical needs are here!

Joseph Gillen: This music store has it all. Old and new vinyl, Guitars, drums, electronic wizardtry, great staff, great location, cheap prices and wuality products.Bring your music ear, wallet and rhythm to this Rock solid music store!

Nu Hang: Brought in my Fender acoustic to get reset, restrung, and a tuning peg fixed. They did a great job and at a fraction of the price that Guitar Center would have charged me. I’ll be going back for sure.

Christiana Flowers: What a awesome studio. The vibe is os all around awesome. The kids are so talented and they are very active in the community. I highly recommend Music Make Studio.

Erin Lenzini: I’ve been taking guitar lessons at Music Maker with Peter for about 2 and a half years and vocal lessons with Jillian for about a year and a half. They’re so patient and kind and I’ve learned a lot in a relatively short period of time. What’s also awesome about Music Maker is the master class shows where the students play songs based on a theme (i.e. the 70s). If you’re even slightly interested in learning how to sing or play an instrument, I would definitely recommend Music Maker. 👍🏻

Lisa DeVoogd: This is the best place for lessons!! They have great teachers! The students are invited to perform at the many fundraisers for in our community. It gives the students a chance to perform on stage at these different events. To say the people we have met thru Music Maker are family is an understatement. Everyone at Music Maker are some of the nicest people! It is like family. I give it a 10 Star review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lauren Kriss: Professional and kind music teachers, fun events and concerts, and a great music store on top of it! Highly recommend!!

bigred8882: The passion Pete (owner/instructor) has for music can be seen in every facet of this place. The instruction, the concerts he puts on for the kids, and the constant donations to local charities are just a few of the things he does that separates him.HIGHLY recommend!

Julie Schultz: Music Maker is the best!!! A lot of talent here!! Love to watch young people involved in something productive!! They definitely are taught by a talented group of people!! Way to go teachers and students!! Keep doing your thing!!! Oh and they have the CUTEST ukuleles for sale😁😁😉😉

Xprt Plumbing: Top notch instructors and staff, they will not disappoint!!

Dorrene Hart: Music maker is the BEST!! My children go here and Peter and the other instructors are awesome. They make learning FUN!!

Maria Kaljaj: My sons are students to Kenny and Peter’s, but I can’t say enough about all the teachers there! They have grown so much instrumentally since being with Music Makers Studio’s. The Studio is warm and welcoming to all ages. Not to mention everything they do for the community and local organizations, it is truly an amazing place and I’m so happy that me and my family are part of it.

Jennifer Price: I highly recommend Music Maker Studio! The teachers are wonderful and caring. When they are ready, kids taking all different lessons, come together to play awesome, live shows, usually for charity. I have two children in the program an experienced drummer and a just starting out piano player, and they love it. So happy to be a part of the Music Maker family!!!

Ronda Kucken: We have been with Music Makers Studio for about 8 years now and I can’t recommend them more !!!!! My boys have not only learned how to play music but also have made lifelong friends ❤️ All of the teachers are hard working and are there for the kids and love watching them grow !!!

SuperMadKick: Best teachers ever. I would recommend going here if you wanted to learn how to play music.

Edwin Feys Jr: Great guy! Makes it easy.

Edwin Feys: Good guy!

Chachaglam: I have been learning violin love it! My teacher is so great!!

Jeffrey Ganley: Study with Erik Blundell. A great teacher with years of experience. B.S. degree in music education & patient. Highly recommended.
