Gretsch Dealer Spotlight: 2112 Percussion

For nearly four decades, 2112 Percussion has been one of the country's true drummer destinations. Founded in 1986 as the first dedicated drum specialty shop in the Carolinas, it's built a reputation not only for exceptional gear, but for bringing drummers together through clinics, events, and a passion for the instrument that has helped shape the region's drumming community. In this Dealer Spotlight, Nick D'Virgilio sits down with Chris, Tony, and Jorg to talk about the shop's history, how they've built one of the most respected drum stores in the country, the importance of community, and, of course, That Great Gretsch Sound. Independent drum shops and music stores are the heartbeat of the drumming community. Though fewer in number today, they remain vital spaces where players connect, learn, and get inspired. As the landscape of music retail evolves, these stores continue to stand out through their personal touch, deep knowledge, and genuine love for the art of drumming. Our Dealer Spotlight series celebrates these incredible shops—the people behind them, their passion for That Great Gretsch Sound, and their role in keeping the spirit of local music alive. #GretschDrums #ThatGreatGretschSound #Gretsch #2112Percussion #DealerSpotlight #DrumShop #Drummers #Drumming #DrumCommunity #NickDVirgilio #RaleighNC #MusicStore #SupportLocalMusic #DrumLife
