Neighbours complaining? We got you..
Welcome to another week of International Drum Month, and we are still excited, and throwing balloons and streamers at everyone who walks in.
Well, not actually at everyone, but the boys have been having fun with our displays, and our drum department is looking very festive. If you haven't' been in to see the new store layout, I'd advise you make up for that soonly!
What's the single biggest problem drummers face today? We hear a lot of people saying that they'd love to play drums, but they are worried about their neighbours. Most of us live in suburban areas these days, and quite rightly, most of us would get annoyed if the people on the other side of the wall were banging around and being loud all day long. So what can be done about this?
Enter the best thing since sliced bread - as far as drummers are concerned - the Digital (or Electronic) Drum Kit. These babies are programmed from real drum sounds, so when plugged into a speaker they sounds like the "real" thing, yet pop in some headphones and the neighbours won't hear anything louder than if you were tapping your fingers on the table top. With the layout and feel of real acoustic drum kits, they will leave you with no excuse - no matter where you live!
And at The Music Spot, we LOVE our Digital Drum Kits. Just check out some of the beauties we have in stock at the moment:
We have the DTX450KA Electronic Drum Kit, a deluxe model at an entry level price. The next step up is the DTX532K Electronic Kit, which features the DTX-PAD snare plus 3 zone cymbals pads to enable true drumming techniques. Then we have the DTX562K Electronic Kit, with all DTX-PADs for snare and tom, and huge cymbals for incredible sounds and features. Any of these kits will enable you to practice and refine your drumming skills at home, and can even be used on stage or for recording, when an acoustic kit is not an easy option. We've got you covered!
And for our Friday Funny - it looks like we've finally found a use for drummers!
Just kidding! See you all next week!

Kit Clearance!
It's International Drum Month, and it's Drum Kit Week, and we are EXCITED!!
Stop Press: Drumming is, apparently, the key to a long and healthy life.
Our favourite stock items this week are, of course, our Drum Kits!
And you can't have a post about drum kits without this old chestnut:
Have a great week and we'll see you next time!
There's been balloons, streamers, big yellow signs and of course, prices being slashed everywhere! We've done a bit of a rearrange of the shop layout, and if we do say so ourselves, we are looking ready to party - all that's missing is you! So where - no, sorry, I won't channel Lara Bingle :P But I will encourage you all to pop in this week and check out our great range of kits, and let Dave and the team know what you think of their handiwork.

Stop Press: Drumming is, apparently, the key to a long and healthy life.
Now before you go rolling your eyes and scrolling on and muttering about "vegan paleo clean living city types", there is some actual science behind this. According to a study by a Dr Bittman in 2005, drumming has been shown to boost immunity and facilitate healing, even assisting with increasing cancer-killing cells in the body. So not only is it the most fun thing to do with your life - it can even help to extend it!

Our favourite stock items this week are, of course, our Drum Kits!
These babies are flying out the door at the moment, so you will need to get in quick to see what's left. At the moment we have the DW Design 5 pce shell pack in Tobacco Burst, an amazing deal and a great pack for any style of drumming. If you want to stand out we have the Yamaha Rydeen Euro Kit in Mellow Yellow - this will get you noticed, and at a nice easy price as well! If you're a bit of a drumming superstar, you can't go past this Tama Superstar Hyperdrive kit with hardware, everything you need and a hot metallic orange. Or if you want a cool classic look - for an amazing 50% off! - try this 7 pce shell pack with hardware, PDP Concept Maple in Pearlescent White. As you can see, we have something for everyone, and lots more - and all running out at great prices!

International Drum Month
So who here knew that May 2018 was International Drum Month? Anyone? Us neither (we thought it was November!), but luckily our new drummer Chris was on the ball, so let us introduce to you, International Drum Month! Happy May!
We are always happy to celebrate all things drums, after all, they're the backbone of the band!
_________________________________________
So you're a parent, and Little Johnny comes to you one day and says "Mum / Dad, I want to be a drummer when I grow up." Now, before you reach for the old "oh honey, you can't do both!" ;) - take a moment to consider the following points.
Drums are a universal instrument, and are used for every type of music, from classical to jazz to rock to even Hip Hop (which is literally just drums and vocals most of the time). Anzac Day marches feature them. Cave paintings glorify them (probably). Drums have been here since time began, and always will be - so your child will never, ever be looking for a job. Drummers are always sought after.
Also, it's an activity that is not only good for the brain, as keeping time is serious brain work, but good for the whole body. No other instrument is going to give you the same workout that an hour at the drum kit will.
And third, you will never have to worry about your child having friends, as he/she/they will constantly be jamming or invited to jam or playing on stage! What more could you want from life?
_________________________________________
So this week we are starting off our Drum Month by focusing on the tools every drummer needs before they can make any noise: sticks.
Drum sticks are a little more complicated than just two bits of wood, as they come in different sizes (thicknesses), shapes and head compositions (wood tip or nylon tip). So we stock all the sizes from a few of the best brands, to give you the choice.
We carry Pro Mark, Regal Tip, Vater and Vic Firth to name a few. And all in Wood Tip and Nylon Tip, and sizes including 5A, 5B, 7A, 7B, and many more. If you don't know which ones you need, come in and have a chat to the boys and they will sort you out. And we have all the accessories like stick holders, moongel and more. We've got you covered!

And for our Weekly Groan, we thought we'd keep it in the drumming family :P
Catch you next week peeps! And keep on drumming!
