From the reviews
Atlanta Drum Shop has been a phenomenal experience. The customer comes first business practice is truly amazing at this place. They go above and beyond all expectations. If every music store was like this, there would be a lot more musicians.
The Atlanta Drum Shop has been an amazing place to go not just to buy drum gear but to really experience drum culture and history in a way you can’t find anywhere else in the Southeast! Mike and his team have been nothing but welcoming, extremely helpful and great to work with in all of my purchases.
Awesome experience , one stop shop. Atlanta Drum shop met all my expectations and I Left with a great set. Love supporting local businesses, you should too. Mike the owner is very knowledgeable as well. Will start drum lessons soon. Very convenient location. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Mike and Scott are so kind. The shop is so organized and has a vast selection of vintage, new, and used drums and cymbals including locally made drums. I felt very welcome as a relatively novice drummer and as a young woman which is sometimes rare at other music shops.
Selling or trading gear at Atlanta Drum Shop
Atlanta Drum Shop comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
Lessons at Atlanta Drum Shop
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Atlanta Drum Shop. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
