Miki Gakki is a long-established musical instrument store founded in 1825. We will celebrate our 200th anniversary in 2025. In 2008, we established Miki Gakki Drum Center, a drum specialty store for drummers and percussionists. We have a wide selection of drums from domestic and overseas manufacturers, used drums, vintage drums, cymbals, etc. We also have a wide selection of keyboard percussion instruments such as marimbas and vibraphones, as well as mallets.
【About our return policy】
Thank you for your patronage.
As this is an overseas shipment, we generally do not accept returns. If the item is cancelled or refused after shipment due to customer reasons, we will charge the shipping fee for both ways. Thank you for your understanding.
【For customers shipping to the United States】
The Lacey Act requires importers of "timber and wood products" into the United States to declare the name, price, quantity, country where the timber was harvested, and the species of timber.
If you have any problems with the application, please feel free to contact us.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Larger items (such as drum sets) will be shipped by Fedex. In this case, you will need to provide your ITN (Social Security Number, EIN, ITN, or other taxpayer identification number). If you provide us with your number, we will fill it in on the AWB. If you do not want to disclose your number, Fedex Custom Brokerage will email you a form before delivery. Please note that if you do not fill in the form, your package will be returned to us and we will not be able to refund your shipping charges.
For international shipping, the item must clear customs. Taxes will be charged. Please check with the customs office in your destination country.
Thank you!
Updated 2025/08/26 To the United States (EMS Delivery Temporarily Suspended)
A U.S. Presidential Executive Order has suspended duty-free shipping and imposed duties on mail containing goods imported for consumer purposes, effective August 29th of this year. However, the specific procedures for declaring these taxable mail items to U.S. Customs and paying duties remain unclear.
As a result, we are temporarily suspending all mail delivery to the United States due to the risk of delivery delays or return of mail to the U.S.
We will continue to deliver via FedEx, but shipping fees have been significantly increased. Thank you for your understanding.
Updated 2025/07/19
To customers bound for Canada
Due to strikes at Canada Post and DHL, deliveries are currently delayed. Delivery will be by FedEx. Please note that additional shipping charges will apply.

The Drum Center is closed every Wednesday.Business hours are from 11:30 to 19:30 Japan time.
Snare drums, cymbals and pedals are shipped by EMS. Since the drum set is large in size, we will use Fedex.
In addition, in the case of areas where EMS is suspended, other shipping companies will be used and the shipping fee will be calculated separately.
It will be delivered to the address registered through reverb.
I will ship with tracking to the listed regions. To negotiate shipping rates to other locations, please send me a message.

The shipping fee for the drum set is priced a little high. The weight and size are different one by one, and it fluctuates depending on the country and region. If you order a drum set, we may re-estimate the shipping cost as we cannot logistically combine them.
Added 7/24/2023
Currently, the international exchange office in Japan is very busy, and the shipment is delayed. The reason seems to be that customs procedures are not keeping up with the increase in domestic and foreign travelers.
It will take time, but please rest assured that it will arrive.
Thank you!
