Drums, Cymbals and Percussion Instrument at Drum Center of Portsmouth

Great in person phone conversation.
Nice to talk with a human these days!
All my gear arrived packed good and in time shipping with tracking capabilities.
I will purchase from them again without hesitation!

They fit great in the countersunk factory holes in my vintage diecast Ludwig hoops!

Ok so I might be biased being a die hard maiden fan, but this snare is something really special. It sounds great, deep end resonant. And the artwork is just awesome! Love the black, red, and white color scheme. If you're a maiden fan, this is a no brainer!

The best thing ever!! First the hoop perfectly and doesn’t damage it! Love this thing!

Atlas is synonymous with Quality! I have a mid-50s Atlas large studio boom stand on casters from my father's radio station. The studio that I presently work for recently acquired a new version of the same model from Atlas. They're identical!
Good design is timeless.

When I custom ordered an 18" Classic kick from DCP a couple of years ago, I chose Ludwig's Atlas Anchor Spurs (pictured Maple). When I ordered my Revette set earlier this year, I chose the Ludwig/Atlas spurs from DCP as replacements, as I didn't care for the ones that came with the set.

They're rugged and smooth in adjustability. Plus they look cool!

Let me start by saying that this cymbal both sounds and looks amazing. It is a warm, dark, lush sounding cymbal with a lot of character. The one I got weighs 1924 grams, so weight wise it is very similar to a Zildjian K Dark Thin crash. I would probably characterize it more toward a medium thin weight cymbal, however it sounds and plays more like a thin cymbal. I bought this and a 20” Spectrum Crash at the same time. Both are great sounding cymbals, share similar characteristics and compliment each other well. I would say that the Expressions is a little darker sounding, and has a slightly trashier character. I think anyone wanting a great sounding cymbal that would fit almost any situation will be extremely pleased with this cymbal. I played and toured professionally for 10 years and have played nothing but high end cymbals from Zildjian, Istanbul, Paiste and Sabian and these are every bit as good as any of those. If I was to compare this cymbal to what I’ve played, I would say it is a cross between a Zildjian K Dark Crash and an Istanbul Tradtional Crash. I can’t recommend these cymbals enough. The 2 year warranty also gives peace of mind.

Sticks and bag (and gels) work great and arrived safely. Thanks!

SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worked great .

awesome kit, great sound and quality

I basically got it for the lock. It was for a single chain so I couldn’t use the whole part. Excellent fit as far as the lock goes.

Beautiful stand and works great! The best one I own now!

very nice

Love this cymbal! Max's customer service was top notch. He easily deciphered the sound I was hearing, and immediately honed in on this cymbal. Can't wait to visit again!
