Good music shops in London

[Wanderingblade]

Anyone know of good shops in London where you can properly try the instruments, particularly the drums before you buy...

My mates husband runs the Turnkey store on Charing Cross Rd. you can definately try the guitars, keyboards etc, but not sure it sells drums.

I think that there's a drum center in Wembley. You'll need to drive there, because its situated on the shitty industrial estate between Neasden/Ikea and Wembley Stadium.
