Sandy and the south end of the Salt Lake valley (Draper, South Jordan, Cottonwood Heights, Riverton) used to send repair work up State Street to Salt City Drums. With that shop closed, the remaining options are general music stores or out-of-state shipping. There is a lot of drumming in Sandy: teaching studios, church programs, Canyons School District band rooms, and one of the busiest used-kit markets on KSL.
Utah Drums covers Sandy by appointment. Drop off at our home shop in Utah County (an easy drive down I-15), or book a travel visit for $60 with a $150 minimum job. Prices are published: Tune-Up $100 for a 4-piece (+$15 per extra drum), Rehead & Voice $150 plus heads, Full Restoration from $300 with a final quote after inspection, Session/Live Drum Tech $90/hour (2-hour minimum).
Everything is tuned with a Tune-Bot to measured frequencies for your genre, and every kit leaves with a tuning spec sheet: a card with the number for each head, top and bottom. Teaching studios use this to keep student kits consistent, since any instructor can bring the kit back to spec.
Churches, studios, and rehearsal spaces in Sandy and Draper: the Maintenance Plan is $250/year for two visits, priority scheduling, and 10% off heads. Bearing edge and shell work is referred to a local custom builder rather than shipped away.
