I'm a guitarist who's sort-of played drums for years and has finally decided to learn 'properly'. I FINALLY bought my new Roland TD-11K kit today, plus throne and pedal. NDaGC has not only the most professional staff, but also the most patient! I've been popping in for weeks for 'another quick go' on the demo kit (with others in a dedicated Roland demo room if anyone is thinking of trying), becoming something akin to an annoying fly. Not only that, but I had questions. ALL the questions.... It's a rare thing these days to find a music store that you instantly feel at home in. Maybe it's just me, but most shops I visit tend to make me feel a little pressured or like I'm wasting their time. Not so here. What a fantastic example of what music shops ought/used to be like. So, delighted to have found my new musical-treehouse. And SO grateful to Andy and Dave for putting up with my newbie questions. They treated me like I was their first customer. I'll be back.
