Moving and Expanding

Rattle and Drum has been a busy place for the last few months. We’ve all been working hard, looking to expand the business and improve the range of products we offer.

Yesterday, we moved into new premises and opened our new shop under the name of Rattle and Drum Music. We are now an all-round musical instrument store selling guitars, basses, amps and pa, as well as expanding our range of drums and percussion.

We’re working on a new website and will be adding all our new products for sale over the internet in the coming months, but if you want to pay us a visit we are now located at 77-79 Osmaston Road, Derby, DE1 2JH.

Expect to see more news soon with details on the manufacturers we will be offering, but just to whet your appetite we will be a full Fender Custom Shop dealer, as well as Ibanez, ESP, Warwick, Marshall, Black Star and many, many more.

Music lessons will continue at our old store for the foreseeable future and access is now through the back door rather than through the shop like before. Anyone wanting to start drum lessons should give us a call or email us through the ‘Contact Us’ page.
