Badges Drum Shop

"I bought a cymbal online. Charlie was a pleasure to buy from, excellent communication and extremely fast shipping. Shout out to Beth for getting my order going. Everything about my experience screamed attention to detail and care. Hope to visit someday, thanks so much!"

"Badges has an extensive collection of old and new drums and cymbals. You are going to want to buy everything you see. the owner, Charlie, is a great guy and knows what drummers want!"

"Charlie at Badges represents the very best of the small business experience: personal courtesy, integrity, knowledge of his product, great communication, follow-up and follow-through... He was patient with me, thorough in answers to my questions, timely with email responses, fair and honest in terms of representing his product, and square in his deal making. You know that feeling that you're missing something every time you leave the soulless chain music store that for most of us is the only game in town? What you are missing is exactly what a business like Badges and a proprietor like Charlie offers. I will absolutely do business with them again, and highly recommended this shop to my fellow drummers!"

"This place is amazing ! So perfectly set up with a wide selection of choices in all categories. Charlie was the best ! They even opened up the store an hour early as I was driving through town with limited time. I of course fell in love with a vintage slingerland kit that I purchased a few days later. The packages arrived quickly and were meticulously packed with the greatest attention to detail. This store is truly one of a kind and their passion for music and drumming shows in the details and layout of the store. So if you're anywhere in the area or just traveling by...... it's worth the trip!"

"What a drum shop! I’ve been to Badges more times than I can count, and it’s always been the best experience a drummer could want. Charlie is an exceptional human, and runs a fantastic shop. You can tell the minute you walk in the door - this is something special. I highly highly encourage any drummer anywhere close to the Cincinnati area to stop in and check it out!"
