Tommys is the real deal. For instance... Mike, I hate to break it to you man. Tommy actually was more concerned with being friendly and saving you a little cash by recommending an alternative method to the tech locks. Little recommendations like that are much appreciated within the drum community.He would have absolutely ordered these locks for you, in stead he shared a little trick of the trade and didnt just take your money and make you wait until said company found time to actually send the locks.I could have paid close to an extra $100 per case for some foam. Tommy was sweet enough to give me the name of the fabric shop to get foam and line them myself. Saved me probably $400! Thats a real drummer community.I brought in the owner of C&C Custom Drums recently. After a friendly conversation and a purchase of exactly what in needed, we went on our way.While we pulled away, the person Ive known for years as a drum builder of the highest quality, also a former retail drum shop owner, all he could say was, Thats the real deal. Great people and drummers, running a shop for drummers. The way it should be. That place has soul.P.S. Id like to thank Mike for being not happy enough to actually mention in detail what was recommended as a tech lock. Now I know exactly what to buy if my sharpies, gaff tape and strength to securely tighten my hardware go missing.
Tommy’s Drum Shop is the real deal! Knowledge, experience, and personal concern for fellow drummers is second to NONE! THANKS to Tommy and staff for being there for all of us!
Ive always loved this place. When I lived in Austin I would go in for small things, sticks, heads, etc. But my last time I was on tour, passing through, I was having problems with major bounce back on my kick drum batter head. So I talked to the amazing Doug Day, and we decided on adding a vent hole to the front head. I brought the drum in, and we did minor surgery to add a vent..the staff was helpful! And took time to help install the port! I paid , and got back on my way. So see these guys if youre in Austin.
Tommys is a great place. Yep. One stop for all of your drumming needs. Helpful staff! Nice guys. And! They do a wonderful service to the community of Austin drummers with their monthly drummer showcase at one to one bar.
Small, but very cool drum shop with nice inventory and friendly, helpful staff. I moved here from a city that didn’t have a drum shop that wasn’t a big chain, so this place is a breath of fresh air.
Tommy has all the drums and drum accessories! Why go anywhere else? They provide expert service and have a great selection! My place to buy percussion instruments!
Great selection and knowledgeable staff
Super cool and knowledgeable staff
An iconic, local Austin institution!
Simply the best drum shop / department in Austin. Great knowledgeable service, and a wide selection of drums and drum accessories. Highly recommended!
Are you kiddin me? You buy your drums at this place, you get a free bowl of soup! Just ask my buddy Wang. No offense! But, Tommys OK, ya know. He always asks me, Hows your wife and my kids? One time, a guy pulled a knife on me outside of Tommys. I could tell it wasnt a professional job, though. The knife had butter on it! I get no respect at Tommys. He always tells me the same thing: Hey, Ringo, take some lessons! It aint easy bein me!
Always a pleasure to visit Tommys drum shop. Great store.
Parts that I needed that a regular music stores will never carry, especially in the hardware department. Great work guys!!
The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. they saved me from otherwise ruining my snare drum because I was experimenting with different tuning styles. theres no BSing here. a drum shop by drummers, for drummers
I love coming to this shop. They offer a great selection of gear and accessories, as well as a number of valuable services.
Great for musical items
Helpful staff, great selection. My go to drum shop for over 20 years!
I love Tommys Drum Shop. They always have some great stuff. Some of the staff can be a d*cks at times but I guess thats part of being a musician.
If you need anything that has to do with drums, this is the only place to go in Austin.
Nice place + nice folks too! Bought some things you cant / wont find at guitar center (:
Reliable quality and Tommys is number one and always will be an Austin treasure.
Hidden on a North Lamar side street with VERY LIMITED parking, once inside its one wonder after another. New and used equipment, on the expensive side but perfect for the exacting percussionist.
Dropped in for a couple of throw-offs and some other snare rehabilitation gear, no hitch! Thanks Beau!
Only place in town to shop. If he doesnt have it hell get it. Knowledgeable staff and good natured help
Only drum shop I go to for the past 24 years always get what Im looking for
A great dedicated drum shop with knowledgable staff and good gear!
Great salesmen and quality gear, very knowledgeable compared to the franchise folks, support local!!!
Finally, a store where Percussion isnt a section in the back of the store, its the whole store! Friendly and knowledgable staff, dont go anywhere else.
Great place to be. They have custom made bass drum heads .

2022-07-28Why have I waited 10 years to come back here? Got a nice new hat that I’ve needed for years. Very friendly and helpful and their sense of humor is as bad as mine:^)

2017-06-10Great drum shop with nice staff. The only place that sells Black Swan drums which is why I come. Fun to get to play one since I cant afford my own. Some day! I also like their Latin percussion selection. Have a small but selective number of box drums.

2021-07-10Tommy was incredible. This is a true drum shop. We went in there for some sticks and a hardware bag and my wife walked out with a new Ludwig drum set! Rene and Tommy are great to talk to and will answer any questions you have. I highly recommend them.

2016-08-09I wont be going back there. They are real good about selling you a drum kit but the service sucks! They couldnt be bothered to order memory locks for my cymbal stands. They told me to go to the auto parts store and buy hose clamps.Every music store in town does better service than they do.
