Shoutout and big thanks to master craftsman and engraver John Aldridge aka John Aldridge for stopping by the shop. We fortunately had several examples of his work around the shop! 😬 John has been THE MAN for drum engraving, doing both custom work and is always the first call when the big drum makers need something special. Thanks for coming by John!

We recently restocked a batch of cymbals from local Name Brand Cymbals! These are distributed out of Jon Singer's Third Floor Bazaar in Brooklyn, and are fantastic quality at very reasonable prices. Head in store to check out this 22" Anniversary Ride, as well a many others! These aren't up on our website yet, but don't hesitate to reach out or call us with any further questions.

Big shout out to Greyson Nekrutman for stopping by last week. We had a chance to dig in on the nuances of vintage Rogers snares among other things and I dare say we both had a good time. Well, we did anyway.

We had a lovely visit recently from one of our favorite cymbalsmiths Cymbal Craftsman by Paul Francis. Great stories, incredible knowledge, and of course a deep love for cymbals from this guy. (We’ve got a 28” swish that stays in the shop that we love to show off.) Great to see you Paul!

It's always a groovy good time when our good buddy Mattchamberlaindrumz stops by. Matt's deep love for sound, feel, and the old dusty vintage stuff keeps us inspired. Its always a pleasure hanging with one of our favorite drummers! Thanks for stopping by Matt!

Ok here we go! Iconic Instruments collaborators Michael Vecchio and Jess Birch were enjoying the drum@offerings from Good Hands Drum Shop while shooting some premium photo and video material into wee hours of the night. Its hard not to have all the big feels for vintage Gretsch Drums. Picture one is on our late 50s Gretsch 18/12/14 3-ply bop kit, and if that’s not enough, how about a late 50s Gretsch kit finished in one of the coolest (Elvis!) Gretsch finishes of all time, Copper Mist. This kit features all original calf heads with 22/13/18! configuration. These kits are always on display at the shop and ready for your testings and tippy taps. Stay tuned for some great releases from our drum library side hustle Iconic Instruments - pretty sure we might have the best drum libraries in the biz! But don’t take our word for it! Check em out! Collect all 24?
