Our trade business looks after the needs of many of the UK's highest profile professionals and we're also heavily involved in providing tour support to visiting pros from the US and Europe. We have first-hand experience of touring with some of the world's largest bands including the Chili Peppers and REM. Our day-to-day trade business involves supplying and setting kits to the UK's biggest drummers and bands in studios and venues around the country.

Our regular clients include Ralph Salmins, Ian Thomas, Geoff Dugmore, Neal Wilkinson, Mark Richardson, Jerry Brown and Pete Lewinson, and we also look after the needs of players like Chad Smith and Taylor Hawkins when they're in the UK.

Because LDC works at the very top end of the drum industry, we're not overstating things to say that we know more about what makes a drum kit work on stage or in the studio than any other drum retailer in the UK! It's what we do day in, day out, in the most demanding situations. And our knowledge is there for our retail customers to take advantage of, just as it is with our trade clients…

So whether you're an international superstar or a just-starting drummer, we're here to help with free advice, excellent prices and exceptional levels of customer service and support.
