I
can't seem to get this online shopping cart to work. What should I do?
From
time to time a customer will have problems using our secure shopping cart. This
is often due to low memory resources on their computer. Try restarting your computer
and initiating the order again. In some cases a customer will need to adjust the
"security settings" on their browser for online ordering to be successful.
Either way, if you are not having any luck, please call 1 800 DRUM BUM (378-6286)
Monday through Friday, 9 to 5 est. and we will be happy to take your order by
phone.

Is
it safe to order online with my credit card?
Yes, much safer than you think.
Although many people are nervous about online monetary transactions, you are more
likely to have your credit card information stolen through hand to hand transactions
with gas stations, grocery stores and the like. Online shopping sometimes gets
a bad rap in the press. I'm here to tell you that, as long as you use common sense
and stick with reputable companies, you will be among millions of satisfied customers
that successfully shop online everyday without any problems whatsoever. We are
in our 10th year of business and have served thousands of customers through online,
telephone, and mail in ordering. Please click the Verisign seal below to validate
our store and the authenticity of our SSL certificate. This ssl (secure socket
layer) ensures your credit card information is safe and secure on our network.
- Visit our testimonials page.

How
does a secure transaction take place?
When you press the 'submit' button after filling out the order form, your address
and credit card information is encrypted. It is then transmitted and temporarily
stored on our secure server until the transaction is completed.

Is
all the 'secure' technology the same?
Most secure technology is similar with minor differences. DRUM BUM uses an established
and reputable web host that provides 128-bit state of the art RSA encryption technology.
This encrypts all of your personal information and basically ensures the safest
possible online transaction available.

Why
don't you sell Pearl drums or other cymbals, etc.?
Because
we're not a drum shop per se. We're a gift shop with a drum theme.
We offer
a few kid's drumsets
and drum accessories
but otherwise we're
interested in maintaining the integrity of what we are;
a music gift shop
specializing in drums-related gifts for drummers.
