Hey all,
I was scouting around on the internet and found out that Nick Hopkins Drums in the UK have gone out of business last year!! I have done a few deals with them over the years...They stocked some of the harder to find vintage parts...Another brick and mortar store gone out of business!!
Cheers
Mail order is taking it in the shorts too.
Casio Music is closed and may not reopen because of corona.
I've gotten some pretty decent deals over the years.
As far as I know, Nick ceased trading around the end of last summer. He also ceased publication of the excellent Vintage Drums, Legendary Sounds magazine, after just six amazing issues.
Although he's just up the road from me in Wales, I've no idea of the circumstances of the closure. He continues to sell what I assume is his remaining stock (mostly spares / memorabilia etc) on eBay as nickhop_47
A real bummer he went out of business. Was always great to deal with on parts and I loved his mag. Tried to find him on the bay to see what parts he still has and he has nothing listed now. Will keep trying.
Just these listed:
They are also a brick and mortar.
Their governor,like many other states,shut them down over corona.
With the exception of Guitar Center,lot's of mom and pop places have folded in the bay area over the years too.
Just another nail in the coffin.
Cascio was located in Wisconsin and has over many years been a sales tax shelter for electronics and musical gear.
Thanks for the info. I had looked and didn’t see any postings
Accept what you get, the globe has changed for musicians, like the rest of the world. Get over it folks, the aliens are finally making thier presense here. Do as you are told to do by the Feds...no joking!
