The Drum Exchange rents drum and percussion equipment for event use in the Pacific Northwest*. We have a variety of items for rent. We rent to touring acts, promotional companies, recording studios, corporate accounts, etc. It is possible to rent to anyone interested, even if it's a small club, or private party. It may be cheaper to rent, than fly your equipment.
*BAND INSTRUMENT RENTALS: Sorry, but we do not do long term band instrument rentals. You are paying a very high price for an item (including insurance, etc.). We have found that it is usually a much better idea to buy an instrument. You can usually resell the equipment for a good price, if you take care of it (Craigslist, donation, etc.). If you are looking to "rent to own", especially drumsets, be careful. The price may be more expensive than buying an inexpensive set! Most important is to consider private lessons. For a student to be successful they need: 1) good equipment, 2) private instruction, 3) participation in a music ensemble (band, orchestra, garage band, etc.) IfANY of these are missing, the student may not stay with their instrument.
Also, no rentals outside of the Seattle metro area-too expensive to ship, and too risky-try your local drum and percussion store. Equipment may not be available at all times. Please let us know as far ahead of your event as possible.

Recording Projects; We also offer Remote Recording. We have instruments in our own studio. You send us tracks, and we send back recorded parts. This can be quite a bit less expensive than renting equipment, and you get a professional percussionist as well.
TERMS: You will need a credit card number for deposit on any rental. You can pay for the rental by cash, check, credit card, etc. All rentals are paid in full at the beginning of the rental. Any damage or loss to rental equipment is the responsibility of the customer.
