Best Buy to Sell Drum Sets

July 29, 2008

It’s official: the independent store for musical instruments is effectively dead.

Best Buy will be joining Guitar Center as one of the planet’s largest retailers of gear, including drum kits. By the end of the year, Best Buy plans to have as many as 85 music centers inside its stores. According to the Associated Press:

Each site will use about 2,500 square feet of retail space and include roughly 1,000 different products with well-known brand names such as Fender, Gibson, Drum Workshop and Roland….[D]rum kits will retail for as much as $5,000.
