Welcome to Episode 2 of Percusion Discussion - Shop Talk.

 Today i chat to the the wonderful chap that is Graham Russell, the owner of arguably the biggest drum shop in the UK Graham Russell Drums. 

Join Graham and myself as we delve into his beginnings as a drummer and how how after gigging across Europe and the USA with various bands he got into buying and selling a few drums as a hobby from his spare room at home, Graham explains how his business grew and grew and is now a million miles away from that bedroom with 5500 square feet of show room crammed with over 70 drum kits, 140 snare drums and hundreds of cymbals from every household drum and cymbal manafacturer you could ever think of with a team of 7 experienced staff members. 

We talk about many things, including the expense involved with owning a drum shop of this size and how they manged to survive the pandemic, Grahams love of Yamaha Recording Custom Drums and how he couldnt live without his Porter & Davies Tactile Monitoring BC2 system. 

Many thanks to Graham for giving us this fascinating insight into Graham Russell Drums, i really hope you enjoy it, and if you are in the area why not pop in, one things for sure, you are guaranteed a warm welcome and a cuppa, whats not to like?
