You know that feeling you had when you went to your local (non Private Equity owned) music store, and the people knew your name and actually were helpful? That’s WCDS…. My story:We have a drum set and needed cases to move. I looked online but decided to support the little guy and came in.Will helped me beyond any expectations… we didn’t find what I needed right away but Will asked for my number. 6 hours later I got a call - he had figured something out, better than I had hoped.My advice: SUPPORT THE GOOD SMALL RETAILERS like West Coast Drum Shop, we are lucky to have them and they deserve your patronage!

I am a drum teacher and I have sent multiple students here to purchase drums/related equipment. I have students as young as 4 so it is great to have a place that I can recommend that is knowledgeable. Especially with youth students, a lot of places struggle with appropriate recommendations. The feedback from students and parents have been very positive for West Coast Drum Shop!

Great experience shopping today. I was in the market for a new snare and Will was super helpful in guiding me to some great options in my price range. No pressure, just a great job in letting me test out multiple options. Found a great DW option, a nice addition to my kit, and he helped me pick out a few other random accessories I needed (theres always some other little backup gear we drummers need in our bags!) thanks for a good shopping experience. Lots of options, go check them out.

Best drum shop in the entire Pacific Northwest. You would have to go to NYC or LA to get the equivalent. Chris and Will are super knowledge and they also offer lessons. They have a huge stock of kit all setup and ready to try out. I cannot recommend the West Coast Drum Shop enough. Marcus.. a drummer of many years.

Great resource for information and equipment regarding drums and drumming!

I highly recommend checking this drum shop and studio out. The shop has a wide selection of drum sets and equipment with competitive prices. Theyve got great customer service, the staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable. Their teachers are incredibly talented. My son has been taking lessons from Chase for a couple of years and loves him.

So glad Chase was able to bring this all together and keep a great team!My son took lessons for two years and went from zero to Neil Peart in terms of confidence and passion. Chase and his team have knowledge and are super helpful.I picked up a new kit and lots of extras a couple of weeks ago, and Chris was very patient, super helpful and knowledgeable about all the equipment he recommended. We walked out with some awesome drums and other hardware in time for a very happy Christmas for my son. Honest and fair prices for top quality gear! Thanks again so much for all your expert help, Chris!Not to mention the special sessions they offer on occasion, like the Masterclass we attended with Legend Ben Smith! That was very educational, and we plan to attend future events.Don’t miss out!5 STARS!

Theres an incredible amount of talent and knowledge to be found at this amazing shop! The bonus of all of the kits of my musical idols at Donns drum vault, just amazing to be around all of that cool history. The music school of available instructors is top notch as well. I think it would be impossible not to stop by and walk out being seriously impressed.

Chase is an amazing teacher! He has given me everything I need to improve my drumming over the 9 years Ive taken lessons with him. His lessons are always fun and I always feel I learn something new when walking out the door. Also the shop has an incredible array of drum sets and percussion equipment. I highly recommend checking it out!

We were thrilled to find out that Chase was opening up a drum shop and studio! Chase has taught our son drums for 6+ years and now Zach has an increasing passion for music! We could not be happier with the selection of merchandise, the knowledgeable staff, and how friendly everyone has been! Come check out the shop and take some lessons from some of the premier musicians in Seattle! You will not be disappointed!

Same great guys, same great location, same amazing teachers in the same teaching spaces. ALL NEW VIBE! Chase, Chris, Mike and all of the teachers have absolutely done an outstanding job setting up their new shop. Professional, fun and informative. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Great experience, very knowledgable and super helpful. Bought a used Boom Theory kit and am really happy with my purchase and their customer service.

Best drum shop and studio in town! A lots of great collections and they even have a vintage exhibition room which is like a mini drum museum, really love the vibes there. Chase is great drummer and teacher, congratulations him to open this fabulous shop. Chris who manages the shop is super friendly and knowledgeable, he helped me a lot in finding my favorite cymbals and drum set.

Chase is a great teacher for our son! Chris is always very helpful in helping us find what were looking for! West Coast is a great drum shop that offers competitive pricing. I highly recommend them.

Ive been a student for a few years now working with Chase and if youre looking for classes for your children or youre an adult who always wanted to learn to play - this is the best place around. Chase and his team are highly knowledgeable, experienced, and would take great care of you whether youd like to take lessons or find the right kit and accessories for you. You wont be disappointed!

This is the best musician instruction/drum shop in the Seattle area! Chase and Rebecca are AWESOME and the teachers are also some of the most talented and well established local musicians in the area. I personally have been working with Jason Starkey who has helped me with guitar lessons, vocals, songwriting and music theory. He’s helped me immensely. Hit him up!

Amazing shop with great teachers! I started my Ukulele and guitar lessons with Jason Starkey last week. He knows his stuff! Great people and excellent service.

Chase is an amazing drummer and incredibly knowledgeable. His lessons are world class. Excited to see he has a drum shop now! Through years of experience, this is now the best around.

Beautiful shop! Everyone there is very knowledgeable and professional. If you need music lessons, I would highly recommend WCDS! They will not disappoint!

If you want to know what it feels like to be treated as a professional drummer even if you are just thinking about starting to play the drums…This is the place to be. You can just feel a love of music in all the people and the environment. It really does speak for itself. The more you immerse yourself into the experience and the more you tap into all the great resources. You may even leave hugging your drums. I know I do!If you want to go somewhere, where there is just knowledge and history spilling out and covering the walls.(Literally) This is the place to be. Even after 28 years of playing the drums and being a lifelong musician I am constantly in amazement at the level of experience and professionalism there is at this shop. I have no doubt this place is going to be known for some pretty special things now and moving forward. I encourage everyone to be a part of it!Speaking of experience, stagecraft, and professionalism the instructors at WCDS are top notch. Not only are they P-R-O-Fessionals, but some of them are my friends. I would be a reference or vouch for them on a personal level any day. From what I have seen over the last few months, this shop is a part of a much bigger Pacific Northwest Drumming Community which is also pretty special all in itself, but even better yet it is really growing! If that wasnt great enough, they are very accepting of even people who like to pretend to play the drums. 😉#MuchLoveAndThankYouForEveryThing!!!#JTime

Hands down best drum shop around!! Top notch customer service and a fantastic selection of gear!! I highly recommend if you havent been its a definite must!

Great shop for all your drum needs.

Awesome customer service and really feel welcome there. I really suggest every drummer to check out the shop!

I’m not super experienced with drums. I had beat up kit, brought it in and the team took great care of me and went above and beyond to fix it up and tune it.

Best drum shop in the PNW! Great lessons, awesome staff, and an amazing shop!

Cant say enough good things! Quality staff, products, and service all around!

Went in on opening day, walked out with a solid snare for a solid deal. Staff knew a ton about any of my questions but weren’t trying to sell me on the highest price, just what fit my needs for a new snare. 11/10

Awesome customer service and super friendly!

Absolutely, an awesome experience!!!
