Upgrade your sound. Refresh your setup. Get credit for the gear you’re not using.

At Drum Central, we know the value of quality drum gear—whether it’s well-loved or just gathering dust. That’s why we offer fair, hassle-free trade-ins on a wide range of drum equipment. From snares and cymbals to full kits and hardware, we’ll evaluate your gear and offer you store credit or cash to put toward something new.

What We Accept:

  • Snare drums (wood, metal, acrylic, etc.)

  • Cymbals (rides, crashes, hi-hats, effects)

  • Drum kits (shell packs or full kits)

  • Hardware (stands, pedals, racks)

  • Electronic drums and modules

  • Accessories (cases, practice pads, etc.)

How It Works:

  1. Submit Your Gear – Fill out our online trade-in form or email us with photos, descriptions, and any relevant details.

  2. Get an Offer – We’ll assess your gear based on condition, brand, and current market value.

  3. Ship or Drop Off – Accept our offer and send us the gear or bring it into the store.

  4. Get Paid or Trade Up – Choose between store credit with a bonus value or direct payment.
