So is this all the English DrumChatters out there?
I'm feeling a bit cut off from the forum, it's hard to make friends when everyone is on the other side of the world, and therefore in a totally different time zone. When I'm online the rest of the forum is asleep!

I'm in Huddersfield. For those that don't know where it is, look on a map for Leeds & it's 20 miles from there.

Currently living in Northamptonshire but my roots are in the northwest; I've lived in Preston and Liverpool and my family come from Oldham.

Now then boys! Ah, I'm feeling better already.
So who can recommend a decent drum shop in the North? I live not far away from Scheerers in Leeds, which is great, only I'd rather visit a store that I can park within a mile of.
Any ideas..?
Rockem in Rotherham? Sell loads of drum gear. Not sure if its an e-shop tho so probably worth checking first. Easy parking but Canklow in Rotherham is a notoriously dodgy place so leave nothing in your car or park in the town and walk - about half a mile (I lived there for a few years). Its also only 7 miles from Sheffield so you could also check out Drum Stop.
PMT, Leeds would be closest to you.

Just read the beginning of this thread, I posted on it but I also made it! (d'oh!)
Just thought of another - Gear4music in York. They seem to be focussed on online sales but they post a "find us here" location so I assume they do onsite sales. Don't know the parking situation though. I believe they are a similar distance from you as Sheffield and Rotherham.
drum stop in Sheffield maybe?? bit of a journey for you though.

Scheerers closed down last year unfortunately. I tend to get my stuff from a local music store in Hudds, or online - more often than not Drum-Stop in Sheffield or Rockem in Rotherham.

I've used Rockem in Rotherham too but only online via eBay. So far, so good.

Nice, thanks guys, I'll check those out. I've bought from Rockem before and they're really helpful, I imagine with such good supply and prices they must have a premises, I will look them up. Same goes for the peculiarly named PMT.
PMT is very easy to find, just off the ring road after the Harley showroom, down Kirkstall Road for about 100yards & it's on the left just after Staples.

Thanks, good idea. I have driven past Gear4Music actually, it looks from the outside like an office/warehouse rather than a showroom type deal, but it's worth a phone call to fine out.
