Sam is one of the very few honest merchants left in the music world...Not only does he have a wide selection of great new and used drums, cymbles and hardware, but very fair pricing, and even buys your extra instruments as well, without insulting you by lowballing. He's a throw back to the good ol' honest days. He's an asset to drummers everywhere!

Pros

+ experienced, knowledgeable, honest

I've been a client of Sam since the beginning of SADS, and I have to say that he, after ten years of selling used drums, still has the market cornered. SADS is the place to be for new and used equipment in the bay area. Sam also rocks h@!%!*n the set, so hold on to your hats, kids! Wrekking Machine still rules!

HEIL SAM ADATO! you are the best. you give SF something to be proud of.

Sam Adato's couldn't be more of a contrast. He's helpful, knowledgable, and best of all, won't sell you anything you don't need. I went in to buy new... more
