Wow! So many great sets! Really unique and beautiful. Great service and super good pricing! Can't rave enough...

With 45 years of experience and after visiting dozens and dozens of drum shops around the world, this is truly the one shop to rule them all! The kindness, knowledge, inclusiveness, and unique gear are second to none. This shop is for everyone, drummer or not, at any level. Nothing but good vibes and drum geeks. I dare you to go there and have a bad experience. Careful though, you will probably leave with some cool gear, and if you weren't a drummer walking in, you will be when you leave. read more

Such a great store amazing people and great selection of everything and great prices and quality. Totally would go again

Went there to get rivets installed on a cymbal. They did it on the spot and it came out perfectly.

As a touring drummer in the business for 50 years, THIS is the place to go. Fantastic people, great selection of interesting instruments - I can't say enough good things about this store. I love the way it's set up and that you can actually PLAY the drums. What a concept! Staff are as obsessed with drums as me and are enthusiastic, helpful and kind. Bravo. read more

The owner refused to sell product to me because I'm competition to his business. No joke. I make about five dollars an hour doing work that I love, refurbishing beginner drum sets, and I had been to Revival just a few times to buy some used drum heads. But then I was told by the owner that he cannot sell any to me any longer. (!) He stumbled for an excuse and landed on "I'm trying to feed my family." Again, no joke. So...the guy with the million dollar business and a family can't sell product to a poor single guy, who's trying to give him money, because he's "trying to feed" his family?? Wtaf? A selfish, greed-fueled choice. I suggest taking your business to any other music shop in the Portland area. read more

This place is awesome. Really great and welcoming vibe and an impressive inventory. I am not a drummer, but a producer/composer and was interested in getting a hi-hat because I'm sick of programming hats. Not knowing anything about cymbals I expected to just poke around a little bit and maybe get in a few embarrassing questions to start figuring out what I need. My experience here FAR exceeded my expectations, as Kerry immediately recognized my need and was super enthusiastic about answering all my questions and educating me. He didn't try to oversell me, which I greatly appreciated, but gave me some great ideas to kick around in case I want to pick up more percussion gear in the future. Thanks Revival!! read more

We are cleaning out our house and had some congas that were gathering dust. I called Revival Drum and was given helpful options including ideas on how to do this without and with them. After exploring a little more, I quickly realized what great folks are at Revival Drum compared to other places. I called back, spoke to a different person who was equally helpful, and arranged to bring the drums in for them to sell. The shop has a super cool vibe. read more

I've been drumming for 24 years and this is by far the greatest drum shop I've ever been to. We worked with Kerry. His enthusiasm is incredible. They have a great selection of EVERYTHING. New and used. Prices are perfect and they have a whole shop where they can fix probably everything. I needed a new crash and ride. I sat at a kit and Kerry A/B tested all the options. I ended up with everything I needed and couldn't be happier. I'm looking forward to returning and giving them all my money! read more

I was in need of a new bass drum head for my son's Tama set. I made a call to Revival, and they not only had an even better replacement head, they installed it and tuned it, as well. Took about 5 minutes! Great shop, with friendly employees, and willing to help. They saved the day for my band, which had an upcoming gig. Definitely the place to go for any drum sales, advice or lessons! read more

This is really great drum shop. Very well organized and staff are super helpful. Really excellent for vintage drums.

Great, well organized shop with plenty of gear from unique items and vintage drums to more mainstream stuff. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely the place to go for any drummer looking for the right sounds. read more

Great drum shop! All the great classic kits here. Owner is cool and loves to talk drums and is very knowledgeable about the history and is dedicated to preserving the legacy. They have a great selection of snare drums ( most hard to find) I could hang out here all day.. read more

Such an amazing experience!! As a younger but experienced drummer, I go into most music stores and they don't treat me with the same respect as they would with an older gentleman, but revival, was the complete opposite. I walked in to that amazing shop and was treated very well! I was respected as a drummer, and that was very nice to have the same level of respect as would an adult. The shop is truly stunning, a drummers paradise, and I will defiantly be buying most, if not all my future equipment from revival. By far the best place for your drum and percussive needs, in the pacific north west!! read more

Revival Drum Shop doesn't have the best selection in town, and they don't really have deals or discount anything in their stock. What they have are the drums you can't find anywhere else: Gretsch, Ludwig, Camco, Slingerland. All vintage, all cherry, all tuned and all scrubbed and polished. The modern period is represented by the likes of C and C and Q drums (one kit each), but really, this shop is all about golden era --mostly American made-- rock and jazz sets. It's like a museum, but you can purchase the exhibits. If you mortgage your house. Whatever- if you want the best (of anything) you should be prepared to pay. Staff is super helpful and friendly, and owner Jose knows his stuff. read more

I took my first drum lesson from Lisa at Revival today, and am beyond impressed with her fluidity, competence, and kindness. Learning drums for me is not just signing up for lessons on a new instrument, it is my allowing myself to have something that I've always wanted. I'd never even sat at a kit before walking into the lesson room, and left feeling at ease, and well on my way. In the shop itself, there's a wall of snare drums, and so many different kinds of percussive instruments available, a rhythm playground. The staff is knowledgable and light-hearted, with none of the pretentiousness I've experienced at other music shops: the first time I walked in, weeks ago, the guy there handed me a stick and said, "just bang on things, and see what inspires you." Where else do you hear that? I doubt I've ever so looked forward to the humility of being a beginner. read more

This place is so awesome. I love it here. Great drums. Awesome vibe and fantastic service. Jose is really kind and patiend and helpful.

I play an old Rogers kit (Londoner Six, ca. 1976) that I'm slowly restoring, and the guys at Revival have been nothing but helpful in helping me do so. They answer all my questions, sell me stuff I need, order me stuff they don't have, and call me promptly when it comes in. The shop itself is understated and excellent--tons of beautiful vintage drums and drum sets, plus plenty of new hardware and accessories. T-shirts and books, too. A good cymbal room. I'm grateful to have them in the neighborhood. read more

This store is my happy place in Portland, I've been going for years, at first when I'd be on tour, and now more often since I am a resident here. This is a place where even a non- drummer is welcome, the store is an absolute history lesson in the art of percussion. Jose and Jake are so effusive in their passion for this art and always very giving with their knowledge and guidance. They have been abundantly supportive of my efforts to make a living working in the music business here, and I can honestly say this city is better for having this amazing shop as a center for learning, refinement of the craft, and even as a support system. read more

I was traveling with a band and my Yamaha absolute make custom snare broke. Tried multiple cities and drum shops and they didn't have the parts I needed(apparently the 2000 run used unusual discontinued lugs). I went to revival and they modified and made my snare like new. Didn't charge me much either. Such a nice staff and cool vibe. Lots of super cool vintage drums and gear for purchase. I wanted to stay all day(great for drum nerds). If you love drums and gear this is a must see if you're in Portland. read more

Was looking for a child's Remo drum. They didn't have it but the staff was friendly and helpful in pointing me in the right direction.

I just picked up the 3rd kit I've purchased from Revival and I couldn't be more stoked. These guys always have the coolest stuff in their shop at extremely fair prices. Their also extremely helpful with hardware needs and repairs. Best drum shop in the NW! read more

I couldn't be happier with these guys. Knowledgeable, kind and helpful. We won't buy drums anywhere else now. The inside of the shop is beautiful and the environment is welcoming read more

Great shop lots of cool vintage gear and a very knowledgable staff... don't miss the beat!
