Black Friday drum deals: Today's deal highlights
When will the Black Friday drum deals land?
2022's Black Friday drum deals will officially come to fruition on Friday November 25th - the day after Thanksgiving. With less than a month between Black Friday and Christmas, stocking up on Christmas presents is how most people utilise their Black Friday and Cyber Weekend - with Monday 28th November seeing a slew of Cyber Monday drum deals for you tub thumpers out there.
Last year's festivities would imply that Friday 25th won't be the only time to pick up some killer deals. Most of the best Black Friday drum deals will pop up around the middle of October, some even earlier. Many of the deals will remain valid until the end of the year, too.
Obviously, we all want bargains - so during this Black Friday/Cyber Monday period, we'd keep our eyes peeled, looking to strike on a great drum deal. It's worth noting that as Black Friday is now a global event, discounts and sales may start and end at random times of the day (or night) - so watch your favourite retailers and bookmark this page too. We'll be keeping you up to date with the cheapest prices on the gear you want!
What Black Friday drum deals should I expect?
Throughout the next few months, we'll be keeping an eye on the biggest drum retailers. Last year we saw our Guitar Center Black Friday deals and Musician's Friend Black Friday deals hubs going wild, with a huge influx of drum gear bargains. This year, we're expecting to see some deals of equal measure on everything from cymbals and drum sets to accessories, sticks, and more.
Black Friday is one of the best-ever opportunities to grab a great drum bargain. Last year, we were blown away by the incredible savings at Guitar Center. On offer was massive savings on gear from Roland, Alesis, Tama, Gretsch & more as well as 15% off qualifying purchases with the code blackfriday15.
Musician's Friend were also slashing up to 15% off qualifying items with the discount code BLACK FRIDAY and Sweetwater were knocking an almighty 70% off select drum equipment.
Electronic drum kits are always hot ticket items on Black Friday, and we've compiled this feature covering 5 reasons to pick up an e-kit on Black Friday. We also have a dedicated Black Friday electronic drum set deals page for all things e-drums.
Black Friday drum deals: Discounts and Coupons
Black Friday drum deals aren't always single products with hundreds knocked off the price. Some retailers opt for discounts that can be redeemed through a discount code - a code which can often be used on a wide range of products.
As an example, last year Sweetwater were offering up to 70% off a range of drum gear, as well as some guitars, amps and effects. Guitar Center and Musician's Friend were offering up to 15% off drum accessories, and Adorama offered tasty discounts on drumsticks bought in bulk.
How to prepare for the Black Friday drum sales
The best way to prepare for the impending Black Friday drum deals is to get your research done sooner rather than later. That way, you'll know exactly what you're looking for, and can jump on a great deal as soon as you spot it.
Thankfully, that's something we can help you with. It's worth familiarising yourself with our expert buying guides and reviews - they should arm you with all the knowledge you need in order to buy the best drum gear for you at an unbeatable price.
Black Friday isn't just a drum sale, keep in mind. There are bargains to be had on oodles of cool tech - iPads, iPhones and laptops for music production to name a few. You can pick up the odd mattress, fridge-freezer, car air freshener or a funky face covering too - but we'll just stick to the drum deals for now.
Black Friday drum deals: What happened last year?
Last year's Black Friday drum deals were nothing short of spectacular, with electronic drum sets especially doing a roaring trade. We saw some tasty discounts, with Sweetwater slashing hundreds off the Roland TD-07KV and Guitar Center knocking a tasty amount off a Special Edition Alesis Nitro Mesh.
We're expecting to see many more drum deals like these come around for Black Friday 2022, as well as deals on drumsticks, accessories and more. Here are a few more offers from last year to give you some idea of what you can expect this time round.
