TCDC is the best shop around. The kindest and most knowledgeable staff of any shop around. It’s my go to place if I need a part, a new snare, want to try the latest cymbals or even to order a custom drum kit! Yes! They make drums with local wood and local parts. It’s a real drummers shop. Stop by, you won’t walk away disappointed. If you do, message me and we’ll talk about it ?I bought my fav snares there, one of them pictured here: 651 maple snare with Birdseye yellow finish.

I have a 4 year old who loves Metallica and was interested in learning to play the drums. I was at a loss as to where to take him where he could bang on some to his heart's content and see if it was something worth pursuing. This shop is TRULY phenomenal. We were welcomed with open arms, shown to a tiny drum kit that fit him perfectly and basically left alone to be as loud as we wanted to be for as long as we chose to be there. Then they helped us pick out a kit to consider, gave us a screaming deal, helped with setting up lessons, and gave a brief concert. I cannot express how grateful and pleased I am to have stumbled into this shop.

Unbelievable people to work with! They were knowledgeable, welcoming, and always ensuring you're getting the best of the best when it comes to custom sounding drums. Boy did they deliver! I would highly recommend working with them for any custom ideas you have drummed up in that brain bucket of yours. You'll truly get what you pay for and then some! Not only does it look great with the kit, the sound is so true and so beautiful even my staunch guitar player takes a moment and says how great it sounds on the playbacks. Thank you TCDC! Can't wait for our next endeavor

Got it in my head to get a couple my bass drums cut down to a more manageable size and knew a few drummers in town who spoke very highly of TCDC. They did not disappoint!They answered all of my questions, held onto the drums for some extra time until I could get to The Cities to pick them up and they even let my wife charge her phone while we were finalizing the plan! Daryle did an awesome job cutting the kicks down to 14x22 and the bearing edges have never looked better!The staff is very knowledgeable and I'm very sure that if I didn't live 4-5 hours away I'd be in there every week bothering them with stupid questions and looking at all the drums!Thanks again everyone for a wonderful experience! You're definitely at the top of my recommendations list!

I collect Rogers drum equipment and I once found a Rogers Memriloc cymbal stand here and they gave me an excellent deal on it. And I've always been able to find the drum head that I need here. They also found exactly the right soft shell bass drum case that I needed which I couldn't find anywhere else.

This place has the best knowledge & drum-focused atmosphere. The layout is welcoming. They have some amazing sounding rare and vintage drums and cymbals too.I started my journey of drum shopping in Minneapolis here at this shop a few months ago, bought a pair of sticks and learned alot about drums from the staff. Also recently bought the16" Super Kick 2 bass drum head here and have been recording it at my school. Those heads sound great!

This store has great selection and people. They made it easy to drop off a drum set I want to sell through consignment and they are trying to find a hard to find soft shell bass drum travel case I want.

Hands down the best drum place in MN. Even fixed my hi hat stand. Very kind and informal people there. Good honest humans.

My experience at TCDC has been 100% positive. Kelly took the time to help me buy the cymbal *I* wanted to buy, not the one *HE* wanted to sell me, if you catch my drift. Good people. If you are a drummer who has been put off by your experience at other shops, ignored or talked down to, give TCDC a try, you won't be disappointed!

Kelly builds, stocks, and sells only drums worth buying. No cheap "toys" are here.

These guys rule. I'm missing a piece of hardware on my old Acrolite so I have to use snare string to hold the snare wire in place. Not ideal. I walked in looking for string and they just happened to have the obscure piece of hardware I needed laying on the front desk. BAM. They kindly hooked me up with what I need to fix my drum and some homemade snare straps. Top-notch dudes in a top-notch drum shop!
