About the Sound Shop Drogheda (Ireland Ltd.)
The Sound Shop was established in 1968 by Tommy Leddy and Sean McEvoy, Tommy and Sean had being hiring PA equipment for some time from their homes and seeing there was a gap in the market for musical equipment and instruments they went on to open their first shop in 14 North Quay Drogheda, and so the Sound Shop was born. The business grew quickly so it wasn’t long before a much larger premises was needed and just a few doors away from the original shop stood Mayoralty House a historic building with charm that became the home of music in Ireland for the next 37 years, With the success of the business and rise in popularity of out of town shopping the Sound Shop needed to be part of this movement so the decision was made to finally leave North Quay and built a brand new 12,000 sq ft mega store along with a 900 seat theater the TLT where both business still reside today 2023.

Soon after its founding in Thorne, Yorkshire, UK in 1964, the Professional Music Company (ProMuCo) started providing drum hardware and sticks to musicians across the country.
After a short while, the drumming legend Buddy Rich gave his seal of approval to the company’s drumsticks and helped the brand break into the huge American market.
Promuco soon attracted the attention of many pioneering drummers such as Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham, who required sticks tough enough to withstand his famous hard hitting style. Bonham soon started regularly using Promuco sticks and affectionately named them his ‘trees’. These original Promuco John Bonham drumsticks occasionally find themselves up for auction, selling for in excess of $1000 per pair! There is even a set on display at Biloxi’s Hard Rock Café
.
During the 1970s and early 80s, Promuco sticks were chosen by many other top artists too including 10CC, Def Leppard, John Bradbury of The Specials, Jet Black of the Stranglers, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Phil Collins.
Throughout this period, Promuco sticks were distributed in the UK by musical instrument specialists, Barnes & Mullins. So it is fitting that after a long period of rest, the Promuco brand is re-born by the same people who supplied them during the brand’s heyday.
Staying true to the qualities that made Promuco great in the past, the new Promuco drumsticks are made from high quality and durable American Hickory, Oak and Rock Maple woods. So whether hard rock or jazz is your thing, Promuco has the stick for you.
