    I really wanted to buy local from Fred Pierce Studio Drum Shop and have always recommended him to many local musicians over the past decades. I was looking for a decent practice drum set to start playing again. (multi-instrumentalist w/ a studio) I came in on a Thursday and **** showed me a decent Yamaha Custom set and some low volume cymbals. With a hardware pack it came out to $1,500+/-... Perfect, that is all I wanted to spend on a practice set. I asked if he could hold it for a few days for a couple hundred dollars while I double checked with my wife. I came back a few days later and had to let **** know an old friend gave me his old Tama Imperialstar shells/snare for almost nothing. I told him I would just be picking up cymbals today, but I will still need to pick out… **** then proceeded to throw his duster across the room and began having a childish tantrum. Rambling on about its people like me that are putting local businesses out of business. He continued to berate me and clearly showed how angry he was I wasn’t picking up that exact drum set. I continued to apologies to deescalate the situation, but Fred continued harassing me. I have never felt so uncomfortable or treated in such a manner by an adult. I tried to tell him I still needed ** ******** to match my old DW double pedal. I also wanted to pick out additional higher end cymbals… (non-practice set) He continued to be an ******. All I could do is purchase the practice cymbals and was forced out the door.
    If he had any maturity or respect for his customers, I was prepared to walk out the door with about $2k in cymbals that day. I also just got large tax refund and huge bonus. Now I’m forced to buy a new DW Collectors Series drum set somewhere else. (Maybe direct) I always recommend buying local, but it pains me to say, I do NOT recommend Fred Piere Studio Drums.
