There was a time where there would be no point shopping on Amazon for drum gear. Beyond e-drums and the odd set of sticks, there was no reason to look beyond your local drum store or your friendly specialist online music retailer. But with Amazon’s Big Spring Sale in full flight, I wanted to dig a little deeper to see if I could uncover anything actually worth recommending. And it turns out… there is!

Honestly, my top pick from the offering below is the cheapest, too. Pearl’s tough-as-they-come multi-tool is an essential for any stick bag in my book. And with a 36% discount right now, it’s an absolute steal considering you get 13 handy tools in one. I also really rate Vic Firth’s stick bags, and the Performer series bag below is as spacious as they come and currently has 9% off.

Keep reading for more of my finds.
