Steve’s for price eh... I used to think that as well and had been heading in every now and again for Drum skins etc for my son. Then I priced a few items my local music shop and found them quite a bit cheaper.

I did notice they were cheaper on bigger ticket items (e.g. complete kits) and that’s why I started going there but like anything else you have to be careful. Then again I’m in Barhaven so maybe I’m just looking for a reason to not drive into Downtown.
