Places online to Buy Drums
Visionary Dance Productions - my first choice to get a good, basic aluminum Alexandrian doumbek. Erik is a drummer himself, and checks and tunes all his drums before shipping.
Active Musician - among other things, they have the Mid-East catalog at 25% discount. I've had good experiences with them.
Art Drum - run by musicians, this is a good source for professional Egyptian inlay doumbeks at a very good price.
Mid-East Manufacturing - Good stock, reasonable prices, good customer service.
Lark in the Morning - Amazing stock of instruments from all over the world. Their prices are sometimes high, but the selection is amazing. Get their catalog!
