The 2112 Story

2112 Percussion was established in 1986 by Steve Johnson. We were the first drums only store to open anywhere in the Carolinas. Our offices and showroom are located in the Capital City of Raleigh, North Carolina. We have the knowledge and experience to serve the needs of all drummers, from the beginner to the seasoned Pro. We are members of The International Music Products Association (NAMM) and The National Federation Of Independent Business (NFIB). We have won numerous awards including a 1996 Retailing Excellence Award from a leading music industry trade magazine Music Inc. In November of 2002 Music Inc. honored us with a cover story about our operation.

2112 Percussion is also home to 2112 School Of Musical Arts, offering one-on-one lessons in Guitar, Bass, Piano, Voice & Drums and 2112 Rock School, the birthplace of the Carolina's most successful and copied student band program.
