Bought a djembe here a few days ago. London was super knowledgeable, and very friendly. Great atmosphere at the store. AMAZING selection of drums and exotic instruments. Some of the best quality authentic African djembes I’ve ever played! I bought an expensive djembe and it’s worth every penny. Highly recommended!
The best place to buy a variety of percussions and accessories on the West Coast.
Dan, his son London, and the supporting staff are so friendly, professional, and knowledgeable.
Wow! Such a find! Bought drum necklaces for each of my family’s children. Gave them out during the family reunion. They won’t take them off!
Very nice. Intimate and amazing.
Incredible shop! Authentic African drums and assorted percussion. Very friendly and helpful to me in selecting new djembe. Repairs and service as well. Wow, just wow!
It was great!
So i was very happy i ordered a djembe and it got all the way to buffalo in about 5 days. I ordered a bag almost two weeks ago i needed it by july 5th when i called they said they missed the oeder somehow and they would priority ship it…fine and dandy i needed it yesterday not in 4 days
It’s always fun going into a music shop especially this one!!! They have lots of tribal finds from many cultures. Even Thailand!!
They are knowledgeable as well. I always like that!
I’ve gone there twice now & have received Wonderful instruments to add to the vibration family. Even a really awesome thunder maker.
I’m bringing the thunder & clearing it out now!!! ️⚡
Update: service has gone down the gutter. Situation: a woman ahead of me made a purchase of 2 musical instruments. She received prompt service & the worker placed their purchased items in a bag for them with the receipt.
When it was my time to purchase he rang me up & asked if I had a bag. I stated, “no”.
He then pushed the $500 + worth of music supplies to me and said goodbye.
I then asked him for a bag. He said, ” oh yea, I have one. But it’s just plastic. Save a soldier’s life you know? ”
Meanwhile I look outside at the woman who had made a purchase no more than 5 minutes ago of 2 instruments & she received a bag without question.
My partner & I then had to lug $565 worth of music back to our car.
I wish this wasn’t about ethnicity. But I can’t help but think so given the lady was white & I am of African heritage. It’s really sad to review this from a place that is for African music.
It hurts my feelings to not be treated the same as everyone else & to have to ask for someone to do their job when they do easily do it for others. Especially when I’m giving them over $500. ☹️☹️☹️
2nd update: I went back to the store the following day & Eduardo was helpful & understanding. Greatful he works there.

Darrell did an incredible job playing my grandfather’s memorial/funeral service. He always said he wanted bagpipes playing Amazing Grace and Darrell did just that at his military service along with other beautiful tunes to accompany the ceremony. So glad we were able to have him play and would highly recommend to anyone interested as well.
Darrell is the best Bagpiper I have ever worked with and there have been many. Darrell can play almost anything, perfect for any funeral, celebration of life, event, wedding, birthday, graduation, party and more. He’s personable and professional. If your Veteran family needs a Bagpiper for a National Cemetery committal service or private cemetery, Darrell should be your only choice. If a spouse service, same-your only choice. For services related to the Armed Forces including Navy, Army, Air Force, Marines, & Coast Guard, Darrell can play all those hymns and fight songs perfectly. Check out his website and listen to some of his songs. #1 Bagpiper in Southern California!!! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ given here but % the best.
Very professional, punctual, and piping is always a great performance. Awesome guy to work with, you won’t regret hiring him.

Really nice people. Connor was wonderful with my son. He made it look easy to learn. Fun experience and we look forward to going again next week.
Dietz Brothers have me some music, because my son, who has Down Syndrome, was asking about some Star Wars music.
DIetz Bros. is the absolute best when it comes to professionalism and musicianship in the South Bay. The store has been building a loyal clientele for over 25 years and even a first time customer will feel like family. If they don’t have the instrument you are looking for, not to worry, they can order it for you.
I went in to buy a guitar and an elderly gentleman was helping me. There was a guitar with a 50% sticker on it for $480, and he said it would be $240. When we got to the register he said, “Sorry, it’s actually $440, but I can sell it to you for $410.” Then I picked up another guitar and he said “Oh yeah, the 50% off is from other people’s prices not ours. That’s for all of the guitars.” If it’s not 50% off of their price, why is there a sticker that says 50% off stuck to the guitar? Horrible customer service, I was ready to pay right there.
