Ground Zero Music was started in 1989 by, Mark Timm and James Tupper and is still owned and managed by them today. "It is all we know and all we have ever done. We perform, instruct, write, produce.....live MUSIC."

As Mark and James explained, "You have to start out with a quality instrument or piece of sound gear or the feel is not there and the young person, or person just starting out will give up out of sheer frustration." Ground Zero assured us that there are prices for every budget, and the quality is always there, as well as expert dealer service.

Ground Zero Music has had some changes that have come about in the recent years and what they have done to make their store more customer friendly and accessible is amazing. For instance, they always stock over 400 guitars and over 150 different amplifiers along with 100 varieties of guitar strings and always a ton of those "need em' tonite!" accessories. Besides Jim and Mark, Donnie is the new full time drum department manager and instructor. Yes, there are lots of drum kits,cymbals, sticks and heads and someone always here to advise you. Their prices are always match or beat the internet or whoever so the customer has "The right product at the right price." Ground Zero carries Fender,Marshall,Ibanez, Alvarez, Ampeg, Vox,Yorkville, Traynor and many more.

The brands they carry have excellent factory representation and support and the customer has a definite say-so when it comes to the lines that the store carries. "With customer input, that determines the lines we carry. The time we take with our customers getting their initial questions answered and making every step of their musical journey, from the guitar or the DJ mixer, or the lesson plan, an easy one, is what we do. If we don't have it we will get it or help you in any way!"

Stop on in, call or email the boys who have been doing it long enough to know better, but are young enough to care about even the smallest detail. With their expertly trained staff you will feel right at home. When you are starting out, starting over, start at Ground Zero.
