What we stock
From a first practice pad to a full stage kit.
Acoustic drum kits
Beginner through professional shell packs — assembled, tuned and head-checked in store, never handed over in a flat box.
Electronic drum kits
Mesh-head kits for flats and villas where an acoustic kit would end the neighbourly relationship. Try them on headphones in the showroom.
Cymbals
Rides, crashes, hi-hats and splashes — and you can hear them before you buy, which is the entire point of a cymbal.
Hardware & thrones
Stands, pedals, racks, clamps and thrones. Spare parts and replacement felts, wing nuts and sleeves in stock.
Hand & world percussion
Darbuka, cajon, djembe, congas, bongos, tambourines and shakers — including the Arabic percussion we are asked for most.
School & classroom percussion
Class sets, Orff-style tuned percussion and marching kit for schools, priced in bulk.
Why buy a kit here
A drum kit is the instrument most often sold badly — boxed, untuned, and left for the customer to work out.
Built and tuned before you get it
We assemble the kit, fit and tune the heads and check every lug. You take home something that already sounds like a drum kit.
Delivered and set up
Delivery across the UAE, and we will set it up in the room rather than leaving boxes in the hallway.
Repairs and spares
Bent hardware, broken pedals, stripped lugs, split heads — fixed here rather than replaced at full price.
Honest advice on volume
We will tell you when an electronic kit is the right answer for your building. It usually is.

Frequently asked
Do you sell electronic drum kits for apartments?
Yes, and in Abu Dhabi apartments they are usually the right call. Mesh-head kits are close to an acoustic feel and near silent through headphones. Come and play a few in the showroom.
Is the drum kit assembled before delivery?
Yes. We build it, fit and tune the heads and check the hardware before it leaves. A kit delivered in boxes and never tuned is the most common reason a beginner gives up.
Can I hear cymbals before I buy them?
Yes — that is what the showroom is for. Cymbals vary enormously between individual pieces, and choosing one from a photograph is guesswork.
Do you stock darbuka and Arabic percussion?
Yes. Darbuka, riq, tabla and frame drums are among the things we are asked for most, alongside cajon, djembe and congas.
Do you repair drum hardware?
Yes — pedals, stands, lugs and heads, in our own workshop. Bring it in for a free assessment.
Do you supply drums to schools?
Yes — class percussion sets, marching kit and full band setups, with bulk pricing and tender-ready quotes.
