I love this place. They have some of the most beautiful Native arts. Music, and more here. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. I suggest a piece of beauty is well worth a gift to a loved one and yourself from this store. Check out my ladies here and buy. They have a few of my items on stock here too, so 😉 enjoy.

Very friendly! Best selection of seed beads Ive ever seen in person!Google Maps says the store is closed so I called to check and see current hours.Turns out they were open!Then I got there and the door was locked and a sign says not to knock. I had called before I went so I knew they were open. I finally got in by calling and asking to please be let in, lol. I just wonder how many people have left because they thought it was closed?!Anyway, its a very nice little store. They have leather and beads, music, art prints and even a few very nice Native American flutes.I think theyd do better if it were unlocked and Google didnt say it was closed!

I believe in supporting small businesses, but no longer will I support this one. I’d rather shop on Amazon than support this store. My boyfriend and I came here on a quick visit to get some feathers for his carving projects and during our whole 20-ish minute visit I was being followed by the old white man that works here. There was a young white guy shopping at the same time as us but the old man insisted on ruining my shopping experience in the store. I’ve been racially profiled before, but ironically this time it was in a store that celebrates MY culture. So, if you don’t mind being awkwardly followed in a small closet-sized store by an aggressively suspicious old man (if you’re fair-skinned this probably won’t affect you) then go for it. As for me and my family, we’ll shop elsewhere :)

I love shopping on their online store conveniently from home in Anaheim, CA. My orders arrive within a week and it saves me a trip too! They always have something to enjoy and share with family. Also, I just want to say thank you Drum Beat Indian Arts for correcting my recent order! I called the store about my order and a nice young lady was able to help me. She listened to my concern and happily corrected my order at no charge and apologized for the inconvenience. I thanked her and she had the item ready for shipment same day. I am a happy customer. 😊❤️

I just love this spot but the staff always seem like they are annoyed that they actually have customers they just dont give you that happy to have you in their store kind of feeling and Im pretty sure Im not the only one but like I said before it is the one and few only places that you can get authentic items indigenous before I forget they also have a great selection of books

Enjoyed the store, new policy due to COVID. Entrance is at the side of the building, allowing only thee people at a time.

Review №29

I love this place. Due to covid, theyre only open 11am-2pm every other day and just 3 people at a time are allowed in in addition to sales persons. Not their fault in the time of covid.

Review №30

Good people, good medicine. Was surprised at how much there is to choose from. Also lots of merch from Native artists. There may be a small wait as they are taking care not to crowd the store during covid.

Just left drum beat store and the store hours says closed at 2 and the time was 1:38...the door was locked and I knocked on it, the lady with the tattoos, dark black eye makeup and long black hair, who is clearly not happy and not wear a masks yells at us and tells us, “we are closed now because no one is here, i say it’s not 2 yet” and I tell her, “I drove along way”, she says “the registers are closed and I come in on my own time”. She was rude and didn’t want our business, I’ll tell my family, friends and neighbors...as native ppl too they should treat us with respect and welcome us in too...we are trying to give them business. We will gladly take our business elsewhere! There was no negative stars but they definitely fit in that category!

Review №37

Good store. Usually I do find what Im looking for there. Otherwise youll have to look online, or travel out of town. If you ask about an specific item that is not available, or out of stock. Maybe they can get some ordered in. Not for sure, but its does not hurt to ask. Also the friendliness could improve, or I must visit only on their not so friendly days always.

The staff helped us find great jewelry to bring back to Texas as gifts for my mother-in-law, grandma, aunt and cousin. Each of the pieces we chose prominently featured turquoise, and they each had amazing handcrafted touches to them. We also loved seeing the dream catchers, handmade purses and other goods that would make great gifts for future holidays.

I just shopped in that store today. The ladies working there were great! I told Valerie I would come back and bring my family and my BFF so they could shop for some things as well. I love making jewelry so I was amazed and happy about the bead wall. I will definitely go back. They dont work on Sundays and Monday-Saturday they close at 5:30 pm. I like the fact that they have a good little business and still have time for family. Definitely going back.

Be sure to bring your sunglasses because when you enter the store youll notice how beautifully situated the inventory is and the colors are undeniably wonderful! Weather you just need a t-shirt, hat or blanket or Smudging supplies, a hand drum or some native artwork or anything in between, Drumbeat Indian Arts has got you covered!

I enjoy all the verity of crafts that are made by NATIVE HANDS not some machine that MASS PRODUCED. Great prices and if u cant find it just request it.

Review №52

This is the best place to go in Phoenix for all of your ceremonial regalia. They have almost all supplies needed to complete traditional garments, regalia and even traditional and modern jewelry. Awesome bead selection from pony beads to 15° and even smaller if you ask. They buy and sell completed native american pieces. I think you have to make an appt if you want to sell your work.The only reason I didnt give them 5 stars is because of the store hours. They close promptly at 530 pm on weekdays and its hard to get there before closing during rush hour especially when coming from the other side town. It would be cool if they stayed open late just one day a week.

My friend opened a container of beads to see the actual color. The clerk told him he had to buy it. He did buy the container. His hard of hearing. Miscommunucation.
