Thanks, I know all the usual suspects do drum gear as well as guitar/bass/studio/etc. stuff, was more curious about recommendations for the more specialist drum shops.
To be fair, there probably are technique issues, which only he can work out for himself on a full acoustic kit (as I'm sure we've all done on our respective instruments). He only had a few pairs of sticks, and they have been well used on the electronic kit, and so may not last too well when you introduce proper cymbal edges. Bought him some more in the week, so that should keep him going for a little while.
