I ordered without any problem a new bass drum pedal and these guys were great. I had an initial question before I placed order and they responded promptly. The item was priced reasonably and delivered very quickly and I will use them again. Very good service.

Great service and impartial advice

As always great service and impartial advice from Footes, ringing up to let me know the Manufacturer’s lead in for the product was many weeks and did I want to consider another product?

Following our chat a more appropriate drum head was identified, purchased, dispatched and on our doorstep within 48 hours!

Thank you.

Dissapointed

I originally ordered a drum mat on the 27th April and was faced with having to select next day delivery at £14.95 which was fairly pricey based on vast experience of ordering next day delivery on items.
That was fair enough as I needed the drum mat fairly quickly for a gig I had lined up.
However, I received a notice that the delivery would arrive two days after delivery thus making the price I paid for next delivery pointless. Sadly, it didn't arrive due to alleged carrier issues.
I then wrote an email asking for my next day delivery to be refunded and was told I'd get half back.
The drum mat arrived on the 4th May, sadly too late for the gig for which I'd ordered for.
Very dissapointed and won't be using Footes Music again.

Shaw Drum Rug

Great service and prices.
Places like this, need to be kept open.
Buy from a drum shop not EBay.
