Hawthorne Drum Shop

Purchased my dream kit from Chris last week - fair pricing, super fast shipping, incredible packing, prompt communication. I was worried to buy such an expensive kit online but wouldn’t hesitate doing it again from this shop. 10/10

Chris was super helpful and I’m incredibly happy with this Gretch drum kit from the 80s…my first kit!

Chris was very easy to work with when picking out/purchasing a drum kit. He answered my questions and took very nice photography/video demonstrating the kit. Packaged and shipped incredibly fast the same day as purchase and I received it a day later. Bombproof packaging with efficiency—only two boxes for a 4-piece kit with tons of foam, bubble wrap, and paper. Not only that but he stocks a great selection of vintage gear probably the best in Pennsylvania. Would recommend and purchase here again.

This is a small business over a local music store with vintage drum galore. They do business online and on Reverb and are run by Chris and his sidekick Giuseppe. They have forgotten more than most will know going in and are happy to chat about most anything Yamaha, Gretsch, or Rogers at length, while still able to answer question about any other product vendors as well. Stuff is reasonably priced as well. Contemporary or vintage, you can’t go wrong there. Worth a call or a visit!
They can be found demo’ing stuff on YouTube also.

Chris is very knowledgeable. Timely with shipping!

Found a cymbal I liked and placed my order and like lightning, it's in my home in less than 24 hours from when I ordered it. Packed amazing and sounds amazing. This shop sets the bar pretty damn high! Thanks Chris

This place is so cool. If they don't have it you don't need it

Chris is awesome. I’m in a pinch and need a new drum head for tonight but can’t get anywhere in time before works done. He was kind enough to go out of his way to make accommodations to make sure I got my drum head in time for tonight. Guys like this restore my faith in humanity. Can’t thank him enough!

The prices are fair. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They are looking to get more modern drumming gear and for now carry hard to find vintage/classic drums and gear.

Had purchased a drum from Chris. He gave me the best customer service and got the drum out to me in the mail in a very short time. I would absolutely recommend anyone to buy from this drum shop again.

Love Hollowood Music. Take guitar lessons here. Owner and staff are great and large selection of instruments and accessories.

Best drum shop ever, and I've been to at least 4! Professional employees, bunch of sick stuff too! TRX!

Chris has a very amazing shop and was absolutely fabulous to work with. A true gem among drum shops and outstanding character!

Great place to get new and used drum gear

Really neat place for vintage drums. If you play, you need to visit this store.

Pittsburgh is lucky to have such a valuable source of vintage drums provided by a knowledgeable and helpful staff

Nice selection and friendly service.

Great shop
