Custom On The Edge Drumset

This is truly the greatest independent Drum and accessories store anywhere. I have bought/sold here over the years They always have such cool and one off gear as well as big brand gear and are friendly, knowledgeable and kind! The prices are super fair and Drum Flip has-had my support for years, and for years to come! One stop Percussion/Drum Store!!! Best Ever!

Friendly and professional. Showroom is full and a lot to choose from. Prices are reasonable and they have great quality drums in stock.

Edward the owner was super knowledgeable and very patient with me who knows nothing about drums. If you need a new or used set they have awesome drums. Great customer service!!!! Thank you once again our church really needed it

Found the best deal on this Gretsch kit @ Drum Flip. Better prices than Guitar Center or Amazon.

This is now my favorite place to buy drums and cymbals in Southern California. Drum Flip has new and used gear. They have very affordable kits for beginners and high end kits for the experienced. They have a massive selection of great condition used cymbals and hardware. I just bought a brand new Gretsch kit for much less than any deal on Amazon or Guitar Center. I've bought cymbals here in the past for much less than any other place. The owner Ed knows his stuff, is very passionate about drums, and is the kind of guy who knows how to setup a beginner with drums and can make product suggestions to experienced guys like myself. 100% happy with my new kit, love my cymbals, and definitely will be coming back to buy more gear in the very near future.

Note the cast rim that was broken and the single layer of thin bubble wrap. This is the extra secure packaging for international shipping...
Andrew G.

When I made my first and only purchase, the shop was immediately notified that the snare would incur a long rough journey overseas to Moscow, Russia via Diplomatic USPS, the only shipping service provided for overseas US Diplomats. Upon ordering, I asked for there to be extra secure packaging considering the long trip, and I was reassured it would be packed suitably for the rough journey. When the snare arrived damaged, in 1 layer of small bubble wrap, the shop was immediately notified. After 2 days of no response, on the third day I contacted them again, finally getting a response. The blame for the damage was placed solely on Diplomatic USPS without any justification, and an attempt was even made to blame the poor packaging on Russian customs, claiming it was likely repackaged after an inspection. This was also false, as the shipment never goes through Customs as a diplomatic parcel, it arrived exactly the same as it left Drum Flip. I was immediately met with the response from Drum Flip that it wouldn't be covered by them, and it wasn't their fault it arrived damaged. The replacement rim was $66.02, and after going back and forth, $30 was refunded to me, but never the offer to send it back for a full refund. At that point, it was better than footing the full bill for the negligent packaging that was again reassured by the shop upon ordering. They told me that most shops wouldn't offer any refund/return, however, I believe most shops would uphold their guarantee to package securely to avoid such a situation and gain a return customer. I'm genuinely believe the shop's intention is not to get over on anyone but to provide a good product as their other reviews justify, however, I had a much different first hand experience. Best of luck to the veteran owned small business and their future customers.

During the Covid madness, although we are still in it, they forced you to take zoom classes. I let…read morethe front desk guy, don't recall name, know that the zoom lessons would not work in my house due to bandwidth and my family now working remotely. They refused to work with me, refused to help or pause my membership. I told them I would happily come back when the corona virus situation was over. He told me he would call me back once he spoke to the director on what they could do for me. I never received a phone call. I had to email them and let them know I wanted to cancel my account. Come to today. I called, hoping to bring my kids back because I received an email from them stating they were going reopen on June 6th. The same guy answered the phone and recalled me. I asked if students were now coming back. He said he remembered me, that he couldn't help me because I didn't want zoom and he didn't know when the students would be allowed back. I validated the email, "We are happy to announce that we re-opened on June 6th! Students may take lessons online or come in to our studio electively based on their feelings of safety. We will continue to provide online instruction to any student who prefers to continue distance learning." He flat out lied to me. Beware. If you have any issues they will not take care of you, or help you out.

Their policy on cancellation is also questionable has they want to keep charging for the all month plus in the summer if we wanted to take a break they wanted us to pay anyway.... We recently call to sign up one of the kids and they did not call us back, not nice...

She is very positive and gives him lots of good coaching in a way that isn't overwhelming. Because of his lessons here, he had the confidence to sing in his school's talent show, which has further boosted his confidence in general. He also joined a US Music Lessons rockband that has an instructor. A convenient factor is that you can do lessons online if your kid is feeling under the weather or you are out of town. Cody is a very friendly administrator who helps with scheduling and is always pleasant. I highly recommend the team!

The office staff including Edison are very professional and helpful. They instructors are very knowledgeable and kid friendly. We had worked with Ms Sarah and currently with Ms Heather. Ms Heather is very gentle and nice towards my 7 year old. My son loves Ms Heather and very keen to attend her class. They recently, few months back, opened another building in the same location. This is one stop music class, DRUMS, GUITAR/BASS, PIANO, UKULELE, VIOLIN, and VOICE. They also offer ONLINE LESSONS. I would recommend this place whole heartedly. My heather is awesome.
