Two Portland Drum Stores I Recommend

Today I visited two drum shops in Portland, Oregon where I now live. I would recommend these stores for anyone visiting Portland or who orders drums or accessories online.















This was my first visit to Cedar Mountain Drums. It is located at 22 37 E. Burnside Street, Portland, Oregon, 97214-1653, 503-235-6345, website: www.cedarmtndrums.com. I met the owner Patrick Pinson, who has been in business for over 20 years and makes his own hand drums and has a Native American from Oregon paint them. The specialty of the store is Native American drums. Some beautiful designs. He ships them all over the world. Cedar Mountain drums also has drum circles every Wednesday of the month for different groups of people.














The second store I visited is a five star drum store. Rhythm Traders. It is located at 3904 NE MLK Jr. Blvd., Portland, Oregon, 97212, 503-288-6950, website: www.rhythmtraders.com. I ordered items from the store before I moved to Portland. The store carries drum sets, accessories, DVDs, CDs, books, Latin percussion, and African percussion instruments. The store has ongoing lessons for set, Latin, and African percussion as well as big name clinics and workshops. If you are ever in Portland, you have to visit this store!
