A fresh batch of Noble & Cooley snares just arrived! Maple, Alloy, and Birch are in the shop! Hurry in to see (and hear) these beauties, because they probably won’t last long!

It was a VERY special week at the shop! After a 2+ year wait, our great friend Todd’s dream kit arrived! Take a look at this incredible Yamaha PHX kit! Hand-built in Japan by ONE person from start to finish…well worth the wait. It’s always so special when we get to be apart of a moment like this for our amazing customers. Thank you and congrats to Todd! Now we wait another 2 years for the add on floor tom!

We want to send out a big thank you to our good friend Glenn for building us a Slingerland Snare Drum Clock to hang up in the shop! And on top of the clock, he’s lending us 2 vinyl records to put on the wall, one signed by Buddy Rich and the other by Gene Krupa! Slingerland is alive and well at Sims!

It’s always fun when special orders arrive for customers! Today we had a Kurt Cobain Jaguar and a 26” Ludwig Kick Drum show up for a couple of very happy customers! We stock a ton of gear but if there’s something else you’ve got your eye on, we would love to help!

We’re excited to welcome another local pedal builder to the Sims Music family!

Introducing Optic Tone Lab, hand-built by our new friend, Jonathan, right here in Cayce, SC. What started as a hobby building pedal clones quickly turned into a passion for soldering, circuit design, troubleshooting, and chasing the perfect tone. That passion is evident in every pedal he builds.

Each Optic Tone Lab pedal is carefully hand-assembled using quality components, clean workmanship, and a focus on delivering great sound at an honest price. Jonathan also offers custom builds, making it possible to bring unique ideas and hard-to-find sounds to life.

We’re proud to support local builders and are excited to have Optic Tone Lab pedals available now at Sims Music. Stop by, meet the pedals behind the builder, and hear what all the buzz (or fuzz) is about! The lineup is now available on our site as well!

New drop from GreerAmps ! First batch is gonna sell out fast! Inspired by classic TS-style overdrive, the Mori Drive delivers a refined midrange, increased output, and smoother clipping for a rich, amp-like feel. It stacks beautifully with virtually any overdrive—including the Greer Lightspeed and Southland—making it an incredibly versatile addition to any pedalboard. A modern take on a timeless circuit, done the Greer way.
