Dale’s Drum Shop was founded in 1982 by Dale Wise and his wife Gale in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania after Dale concluded a seven year run as the drum tech for legendary drummer Buddy Rich. Touring the world and working alongside one of the best drummers of all time, Dale gained priceless insight on how to establish a first-rate, world-class drum shop from Buddy. From the beginning, Dale’s Drum Shop worked on creating a mom & pop vibe at the store in order to give each customer a unique buying experience.
Dale’s Drum Shop has served the drumming community for over 25 years and during that time, the drum shop has developed valuable relationships with all of our vendors, including Mapex, Ludwig, DW, and Tama. These strong relationships allow us to receive exclusive offers on drum kits & components. In return, Dale’s Drum Shop can offer customers rock bottom prices on drum kits and accessories.
After several store expansions, Dale’s Drum Shop proudly displays over 4,000 square feet of drums, cymbals, and accessories. We have one of the best selections of high-end drum sets you will ever see in one location along with countless choices of used and demo gear.
Stop in and visit Dale’s Drum Shop the next time you’re in the neighborhood. We’d love to meet you!
