This is, in my humble opinion, the worlds best drum store. While their selection is always incredible, and the atmosphere inviting, the kindness and sincerity their staff shows is unmatched. This is a shop that truly puts the community first. Not sure if Ill ever buy a drum or cymbal from another shop again! Thank you Nelsons Drum Shop. (And a special shout out to Lemuel for all his help with my recent remote appraisal of a 1950s Slingerland Sound King.)

Love these guys - what a great addition to our neighborhood. Coffee from Weak Coffee was on point, too!

Excellent attention and service are incredible, they helped me solving doubts on Instagram, super attentive I am forever grateful

Very inspiring drum shop.

The absolute best! Thank you so so much for all of the help and the kindness. Bryson and Lemuel are the real deal!Thank you!!!

Stop here for the best in vintage drums! Nice chill place for all the best names in percussion, rare gear, cool folks and even coffee! 👍

Best experience Ive had with buying drums. Spoke with Bryson through email, and it was great! Incredibly friendly. Shipping went extremely smooth. Website is also super clean. Thanks a million for incredible drums!!

Very unique collection of drums and great coffee brewed while you wait.

Amazing shop. Comfortable, laid back vibe, amazing and diverse selection, and extremely friendly/knowledgeable service. And they have a coffee bar!

This place is a treasure chest. I learned so much just hanging out and asking questions. Chill, no pressure vibe, great coffee. Cant wait to get back with a wad of cash burning a hole in my pocket.

Incredibly helpful and they are professionals at what they work with.

Cant wait to go back! Thanks to Bryson for all your help!

KOOL drums

Yo this guy took his time on his day off to help me purchase a Istanbul cymbal! Such an awesome person. Thanks so much for your time and your help! Much love from OREGON! will be dealing with you again ASAP! ❤️

What a hidden gem in Nashville! The owner was so friendly and personable, taking an interest in every shopper in his store. Need a special drum item? He can help you find it! We will definitely be going back!!!

Very cool vibe and everyone adhering to wearing a mask! 😉

For the nerds about to ROCK.

Nelson is, by far, the best drum shop in all of Nashville! What they lack in size, they make up for in warmth of their customer service. Bryson and Andy are super nice dudes and very approachable. If vintage drums are your thing, Nelson has it all and their prices are fair and competitive. Don’t sleep on this shop, you’ll regret it!

A shop where you immediately feel welcome. Theres not an ego in sight and you are always encouraged to ask questions. A drum shop where you gain more than gear -- you gain friends who are always happy to see you. Grab a taco and horchata coffee from Mas Tacos, put on a record in the shop, and sit a spell. Need some gear fixed or some extra drum parts? Maybe want a custom drum made? Well, say hi to Andy at Drum Supply House (they share the same building, super convenient!) A one stop shop for everything you need.

Amazing drum collection and even better human beings! Dont miss this place!

Owners are very knowledgeable people. They carry a lot of antique sets as well. Very cool spot.

These guys know exactly what theyre talking about! THESE are the guys you want assisting you with all of your drum needs!

Brilliant shop for all vintage collectors or lovers of the vintage sound. Has great knowledge on the products they stock even the little nit bits others wont know 5 * all around

Okay - favorite drum shop. I’ve decided. The people who run this thang are the absolute friendliest and most helpful. LOVE that they support smaller indie drum/percussion companies too. AGOP heaven also. Will be visiting every time I come through Nash.

If you are a drummer looking for vintage drums and hardware this is a must see

This is an awesome little drum shop! Bryson and Andy are very friendly, knowledgeable and just all around a great place to do business with.Lots of very nice sounding and rare vintage kits. If you’re looking for parts they have those too!

Amazing niche shop, a must-visit for any Nashville drummer. Nelson Drum Co. nestled in with Drum Supply is a unique one-two punch, combining Bryson’s vintage drum sales with Andy’s drum-making and part supplies. Great guys. Great shop.

Cool little drum shop AND theyve got weak coffee. Would go again.

Great drum shop for vintage drum gear and new stuff too. Bryson and Asa are the best!

Excellent Shop! A must visit. And, the people working there are great. Keep Rockin

Wall to wall, floor to ceiling vintage drums and cymbals...made my head spin! My son and I walked in off the street to browse and walked out with a nicely used Zildjian K crash/ride. The guys were so completely cool from the minute we walked in. My son talked with them about the sound he was looking for and they pulled 5 or so different cymbals they thought would fit the bill. He tried all of them on a really nice sounding kit they had set up for just that purpose. They were more than fair to bargain with. Highly recommend this spot. If you are a fan of vintage Ludwig kits youll have plenty to choose from.

New and vintage drums, from Craviotto, ludwig, and so many more. Cymbals for days, dark and washy lines. Bought some replacement parts for an pls MIJ snare. Great shop!

Absolutely outstanding place, awesome staff and a great environment where you can try whatever is in the shop.

A great drum shop. Nice vintage selections.

Really great guy who runs it. Will help you out with anything you need. Great equipment and really great customer service. 10/10.

I bought a vintage drum kit during the holidays and im really happy about the way this went down. Sending a vintage drum over to Europe isnt always ideal. But the communication and packaging were great, it was shipped really quickly as well. Couldnt be more happy!

Man. Ive been in and out of a lot of music shops, but not many vintage shops like this one. I was a little intimidated by the vintage stuff. Scared to touch things etc. A guy named Lucas came to help me out and made me feel more at home than any other music store Ive ever been to. This place has the potential to be super elitist and pretentious, and it really could not be MORE the opposite of the experience that I had. He told me to make myself at home, throw any snare that I wanted to on a kit, brought me a drum key, encouraged me to play with the tuning and the snare tensions and muffling. Super cool 6 star experience.

Even though I am more than 4350 miles away from the shop, Bryson was more than happy to help me out right away. This is the kind of service that every drummer in the world is longing for!

So nice to have a vintage shop in town. Great owner, very personable and likable.

Great vintage drum kits and helpful staff

Outstanding shop, great selection of vintage Ludwig, Slingerland, Gretsch, Premier plus so really cool modern drum lines, Barton and Sand.Good prices to, I highly recommend them!!
