I just hated to see this. I was visiting my sister in St. Paul and I was really excited to visit this great vintage shop and found it closed. Sign taped on the door says, "Thanks for twenty years of wonderful business. My heart is broken" signed by the owner.
That is really sad. Geez.. He had an amazing vintage collection. :(
Very sad indeed. Cost of maintaining a brick and morter store front is huge. Hope he has gone online.

We lost a long time vintage drum shop in South Carolina also, as creighton stated very tough to maintain a standing business , This economy has taken many prisoners.
It`s a shame to see these mom and pop shops disappear...For the ease and convenience of the internet, this is one of the consequences in my opinion...
Just my 2 cents...
Cheers

I couldn't agree more with this statement. There were quite a few drum shops in southern California and it was a joy to visit as many as possible. At least Pro Drum in Hollywood is still alive!

I agree ! I go to Pro Drum for pretty much everything except my vintage buys . I know I can get my sticks and heads cheap and easy by buying online but I prefer to support my local businesses whenever possible including buying a shirt or some sticks when I go to one of their amazing and FREE clinics that they put on .
