Nice vintage drums

Always the Best of the Best at this store.Awesome gear.

Always on my list of places to visit when in NYC. Great selection of snare drums, vintage and new, and the same with cymbals. I’ve purchased several Craviotto snares. Being able to play them as opposed to ordering online is important to me. And they ship very quickly.

THE spot for all things drums and percussion. Everything from new to vintage to custom to beginners to collectors. If they dont carry it, they will order it.

Great old school drum shop where they know their inventory and have the knowledge and patience to find what youre looking for. Plus an incredible variety of drums.

Oh my this place. You want it? They got it. Wow i ended up buyi g a gretsch usa custom in ginger ale sparkle. Love it.

Went to the store today and was immediately blown away by the drums they carry in stock. One of the employees asked me if I wanted to try out any of the gear and I absolutely had to try a couple of the Craviotto snares. He showed me where the private demo room was that had a kit set up, and I went in to play. Much to my surprise, while I was playing, another employee comes in and very rudely tells me Dude, chill out! What? I thought this was a DRUM SHOP. Maybe he should have chosen to work at a guitar shop instead. Or maybe being rude is just a New York thing. Back to Texas, where drum shops let drummers play drums.

They were knowledgeable about the vintage Ludwig drums I brought in and bought them from me for a reasonable price - cash. Jess was professional and quick. They have a really nice space, def recommend them to anyone.

The best cats in town

Staff was helpful and they gave us a good price on the times we bought. All in all, a good store to buy really cool gear and I dont know anywhere else that has as much vintage gear that I can actually go and check out.

Predominately a niche market, catering to jazz/vintage drummers. Knowledgable and welcoming staff. Also, they have 2 rooms to test out their products, which are both new and used. Will be going back.

The best spot when looking for vintage/hard to find gear, I always stop by when Im in new york

They have a terrific selection of Kits and selected vintage drums and snares...be warned...theyve just moved to the new location in New York...so they need a couple of more monthes to get everything situated and in place ..but it should be great..If your like myself and are looking to build something terrific ..theyll have the drums..But probably not racks or average music store merchandise...Just drums and cymbals..not tons of hardware...i saw they do have some though...Just ask about your wishes or needsThey might have what your looking for..

Fantastic shop !! Great selection generally but especially for snare drums and cymbals. Also good sounding rooms with some isolation to demo in. Staff is friendly, very knowledgeable and encouraging about spending the time to demo the instrument you are considering buying.

Good place to find drums and percussionists.

Cool Shop For High End kits, Custom And vintage. Room full of vintage cymbals!

This is definitely the best selection of vintage drums I’ve ever seen.

Worst sales staff on the planet. Im a touring drummer with a national act. Whatever city Im in, we stop in the local shops internationally. This is the 3rd time we stopped in maxwells. Nice drums, but can never get any help. This time was no different. Finally got a girl to talk to us after 20 minutes. She knew absolutely nothing about the products, and had to keep going to the manufacturers website. Waste of time. I was eager to purchase a gretsch bop kit like we saw at Vics in Chicago last week. Maxwells had the same kit,but couldnt tell me anything about it. They must live off mail order as there were 4 other employees just chatting.Ill be calling Vics this week to have a gretsch kit shipped to me. They have a great staff, as does Forks in Nashville.

So Im big on getting the salesman interested in me and paying attention to me, but if he doesnt leave his office desk and put the phone down, there is no hope. Further, a lot of the stuff doesnt have price tags. I didnt get a feel that the staff is SO knowledgable. So its a Meh store. And NO STEVE WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND, he is king on the youtube channel, but if steve is on a boat smokin a cigar, wont help me. Plus the prices arent so great, you can find better deals online. But bottom line is its worth checking out if your a vintage/jazz/classic rock guy and you will be able to compare a lot of nice stuff, so 3-4 stores for me, 3.5 stars really, just need more excited salesman to get behind the kits and show off the gear!

Best drum and cymbal boutique in the nation. Period.

By far the best drum shop in the US

Really vintage! Good staff.

Best place to buy drums in the world.

They had a lot to chose from but I wasnt that impressed with the staff. Not necessarily friendly despite spending $900 on 2 cymbals.

Great place to get drums.

Nice drum shop

How could I the drummer go to New York and not to go to Steve Maxwells shop?

Best shop

Good video!

Great service

For drums

Brilliant

Its ok

Excellent drums !!!

Excellent

If you are looking for some musical instrument in this place you can find barium dede guitar, tambora, congas guira and much more.

Good vintage drums and cymbals. Nice snares drums, and you can get some stands and accessories too. You are a drummer and you are in NYC, you have to take a walk and meet him, he is a classic. Excellent atention. Cymbals or snares can be tasted in a booth

Amazing place for drummers !!! Amazing place you can not stop visiting it

Entering this place is fulfilling a dream! A pity that the staff does not speak Spanish! But anyway they are very attentive and help you find what you are looking for!
