Provo has more drummers per square mile than almost anywhere in Utah: BYU students hauling kits between apartments, worship teams running Sunday services on kits that never get touched between weeks, and a live scene along Center Street and University Avenue that keeps working drummers busy. What Provo hasn't had is a dedicated repair bench. Since Salt City Drums closed, the choice has been a general music store or shipping a kit out of state.
Utah Drums covers Provo by appointment. Bring your kit to our home shop in Utah County, or book travel; the fee for Provo is $30 (free if you're within about 15 minutes of us; ask when you book), with a $150 minimum job for travel visits. A Tune-Up on a 4-piece is $100. Rehead & Voice is $150 plus heads.
Common Provo jobs: student kits that have never been tuned properly, church kits that need a Rehead & Voice tuned warm and controlled for the room, and used kits bought off KSL that need a clean-up before they'll sound like anything. Every job leaves with a tuning spec sheet listing the measured frequencies for each head, so a worship team or a roommate can bring it back to spec later.
For Provo City School District band programs and drumlines, marching heads get replaced on a season schedule with real budget behind it; ask about bulk head pricing and the annual Maintenance Plan.
