Shipping Information

Shipping Rates for Drum Sets

Junior drum sets weigh 30 pounds and ship in one carton. Full size drum sets weigh approximately 100 pounds and ship in two cartons. Due to the size and weight of the packages, drum sets are expensive to ship.

Many of our drum sets ship directly to you from the manufacturer. Therefore, the shipping rates vary depending on the brand of drums you purchase. Our full size drum sets cost between $32.00 and $80.00 to ship depending on which state you live in, and which manufacturer is shipping your drum set. Junior drum sets cost between $18.00 to $35.00 to ship.

Sunlite drums ship from the West Coast. If you live near the West Coast, your shipping will be the least expensive if you purchase a Sunlite drum set. Union and TKO drums ship from the Mid West. If you live in the Mid West or East Coast states, Union and TKO drums will be the least expensive to ship to your state.

If you find that the shipping charges are higher than you want to pay when you add your purchase to your cart, consider choosing a different brand of a comparable drum set in the same price range. You may find you will save on shipping and may be able to spend more money on a higher quality drum set instead of on shipping charges. Or at the very least, save money on shipping charges.

If you would like to know what the shipping rates are to your state for different drum sets, please contact us. Send us your zip code and the models you are interested in. We will be happy to send you the different shipping costs for each drum set to your zip code.

We can only ship to addresses in the Continental United States.
