Our Drum Shop TCDC’s shop serves you right and left with drums, cymbals, and accessories carefully chosen to upgrade your Sound. At The Collective, we don’t overwhelm you with options, we offer you the best options.  Everything in our shop is there because its special, has value, or both. We also have a rotating cast of vintage and high-end used drums, so stop in to audition what’s recently landed. And if you want to trade up to custom, our shop is your superpower!  Unlike other builders, we can trade in your old gear toward the snare or set you’ve always wanted.  We make custom possible for working drummers! Finally, it’s about our atmosphere and how we do business.  Our retail shop combines with our custom workshop (our micro-buildery, if you will) to create an experience where you can see and learn about the art of drum building.  And we pride ourselves on having a friendly and inclusive place to hang and talk drums. All are welcome at the Collective, so come on down! Our Custom Lines Different Drummers Play Different Drums, so we build three difference-making lines along with Travel Dates, the best shallow-depth kit on the market. So whether it’s […]

Mayda is a young yet seasoned Korean Adoptee multi-musician/artist/producer from the land of 10,000 Lakes. “Her R&B-infused pop is undeniably fresh, as she swings between pared-down acoustic struts, full-band funkadelic blasts, and electronic drumbeats and synth flourishes that would make the Purple One proud. The result is a slick, expansive, and evolving pop sound, aided in part by producer and mentor Michael Bland (who drummed with Prince in the early ’90s and currently plays with Nick Jonas), whose Sonic Matrimony Collective label released Mayda’s first full-length, The Interrogation, last year. The prolific young soul singer is just beginning her journey, but it’s hard not to anticipate big things from the petite yet larger-than-life pop songstress.” -Andrea Swensson, The Current Mayda’s music has been featured locally as well as internationally. Numerous of Mayda’s songs have been on Rachael Ray show, Good Morning America, KFC youtube, Reebok Seoul commercials, Jersey Shore, and cable networks such as Showtime and MTV. Recently, Mayda has just signed with South Korean Indie Label, Musicaroma/Feel Good Inc. On a her 3-week tour in Seoul, Mayda was able to meet her birth parents for the first time. In lieu of the performances, her trip was documented on public […]
