Supersonic Music

Supersonic Music is a unique place to go for drum and guitar stuff. A Little History Supersonic Music started in September 1998. Derek had been the manager of a now-extinct music store for a couple of years and returned to buy its Topeka location. About a year and a half later, Supersonic moved downtown where it is headquartered and TreeHouse Custom Drums was born. The next year, Derek bought out the Lawrence location of that other store; Supersonic Music of Lawrence opened September 2001. That same weekend, another venture started-Derek opened a booth at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival located in Bonner Springs, KS. Fast forward to 2008 and Derek bought out the holdings of another store in Kansas City, converting its inventory to a new online retail operation currently working through eBay out of the 3rd floor of the Topeka store. No new ventures planned at this point-two stores, a custom drum company, a traveling show to sell handdrums to folks at fairs and festivals, an online store, and an ever-expanding website. That’ll do. For all its quirkiness, Supersonic Music is steeped in honesty, honor and integrity. All the staff are mighty decent folks who are real. No slick salesmanship or annoying elitism. Whether you buy a $2.50 part or an rig, we'll respect and/or tease you just the same.
