Editorial Review for Jammin' Jersey Music – by Steve Coulter

The Scene
It might be hard for anybody other than a drum enthusiast to understand, but Jammin' Jersey's overwhelming drum department is something of a sacred place. Refurbished vintage kits of every shape, size, style and make can be found stacked like shiny wedding cakes in endless rows occupying most of the enormous showroom.

The Goods
Slingerland, Rogers, Ludwig and other drum sets from the '50s, '60s and '70s are all on display and have been restored to look and sound their best. Pick out one you like, couple it with any of the hundreds of immaculate snares and you'll soon have the set of your dreams. While off in drum heaven, send your band to check out the impressive collection of new and used guitars, basses, amplifiers, keyboards and accessories. Jammin' Jersey also stocks P.A. systems, pro audio equipment and other electronics, including the dreaded drum machines.

I have shopped at this business in the past. When you've been in the music business for as many years as I have, you try not to gripe when you need an uncommon speaker having to do with a vintage Hammond organ. I have performed all over the world in a number of bands. Probably the one the public would be most familiar with was Junior Walker and the All Stars. I am not upset for myself. The straw that broke the camel's back was when this business treated my good friends very shabbily. I could not believe that a proprietor would treat a customer so badly. I will never shop there again and I am passing the word along to everyone I know in the music business. Sincere thanks for the opportunity to let the public know how it is.

Cons: Overpriced with a bad attitude.

I'm not sure why this place is in business. In all honesty, they should reconvert to a museum and charge admission. The staff is arrogant. The owner will not give you a good deal, in fact, far from it, since all items are incredibly overpriced to begin with. Don't believe all the hype about a good deal at this place. They may have a lot of items, but they know very little about them when it comes to using them. They know virtually nothing about Soul music and what is required to get a good sound. To say that I was disappointed would be putting it mildly.

As much a museum as a music store, this warehouse is stacked to the rafters with vintage drum sets.  See the full editorial review.
