I absolutely love Skinny Beats Sound Shop! Billy (the owner) is super friendly and knowledgeable about sound healing and the instruments they carry. I purchased a set of crystal quartz singing bowls, an ocean drum, a rainstick, and a wooden shell chime from the shop. I've also attended an in-person sound bath here, which was an amazing experience. The sound baths are held weekly at 11am on Saturdays and Sundays. The shop was recently renovated so the room where customers can browse and play instruments is separate from the studio where classes and workshops are held. This allows for participants to have a more private and intimate experience. There are a variety of instruments and services offered here, and everything is reasonably-priced. Stumbling upon this shop was such a gift to me. I love the energy in the space, and I have been very satisfied with the instruments I've purchased so far.

I’m from Cincinnati, OH, and every time we’re in Asheville, we book a sound healing session with Billy. The meditative words, wide array of instruments, beautiful studio and Billy’s talent combine to make these sessions fabulous! I can absolutely recommend!

This is a super cool place to visit. I attend a drum class every Wednesday and I love it. Billy the owner is a great musician and teacher and makes the class so much fun. If you are looking for sound healing instruments. You will find it at skinny beats.

I found the sound healing session so peaceful and exactly what I needed. It was a great set up and very professional even if you're a skeptic. Peak of my week. Also the gentleman managing the session with the long hair was super easy on the eyes (which was a bonus). Sorry, had to say it. Would recommend.

Loved the store - they have a unique selection of sound instruments... each one is precious! What I loved even more was this beautiful sound healing session that we attended. It’s so different from any sound healing session I’ve been to. Billy uses multiple instruments during the session... each one has such a beautiful sound that you leave feeling happy and energized.

We went to an individual sound healing session and it was amazing! We contacted Billy and he offered us several time options. It was an incredible experience! I highly recommend it! Very rejuvenating!

WOW...! I read some of the 1 and 2 star reviews, and I'm shocked. I was visiting from Beaufort, SC, and I went into the store with 3 kids. A cool employee was there (see image), and yes, he did tell us that he'd prefer it if we didn't touch some of the instruments, but he did it very nicely... and he asked us if we'd like him to play for us. He played for about 5 minutes on the quartz bowls, the gong, and a few other instruments. IT WAS AMAZING!!! He also invited us to the Saturday "Sound Healing" and it was a full house... It was about 15 of us, laying on the floor, and the owner - Billy Zansky - led us through an amazing meditation (about 3 to 4 minutes wih his words... then about 30-some minutes with his music)... even my 9-year old enjoyed it tremendously. ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR 1-WEEK TRIP. We all said that if we lived in Ashville, we'd attend the Sound Healing sessions every Saturday. Thank the cool employee who invited us to the Saturday's Healing Sounds; and BIG THANKS to Billy Zansky! :)

If you have ever contemplated going to a sound healing class go to Billys!! It's as if he is part human part octopus during his sessions. So many different instruments, sounds and vibrations. He is a one man band and will take you on an inner journey. He also is a great teacher. Taking hand pan lessons with him. He is so patient and makes me feel at ease as I'm learning. Thank you Billy for all you do.

Kela Cerrato

Very sweet spot with good people. Billy and his team are enthusiastic in teaching their love of drumming. Nice selection of instruments. Classes are great!

Experienced a sound bath today. Very relaxing. Brad was very helpful afterward to demonstrate the percussion instruments in the shop. Great place. Good vibes. Literally.

Donna Cannone

This shop is over-the-top in every way. I went to the sound healing one Sunday at noon and it was simply amazing. I returned one afternoon to check out the instruments and met Derek who was very kind and answered my questions and interestingly enough is a hammered dulcimer player and instructor. I have been interested in learning to play this instrument for years but have not found anyone who is able or willing to teach. I am looking forward to spending more time in this magical place.

Amy Hughes

This place is amazing. So many beautiful drums and singing bowls! I found the perfect one for me. I highly recommend stopping in.

Sharon Clarke

We love our trips to Skinny Beats! Such unique and unusual instruments... and the Sound Healing Concerts are so restful and grounding. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Kevin Damphouse

This was my second time in the shop and the second time loving it. Had sound healings both times and it was magical. Billy knows his instruments and how to use them to help people heal. I bought a crystal bowl and Billy helped me in selecting the right one using intuition and self trust balanced with knowledge and experience. Thanks my friend. Till the next time.

DaRon Saunders

My wife and I came for the sound bath session and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was so soothing and comfortable--everything I needed to start my day!

Ahmad Ayub

Loved this place! Very cool instruments and very helpful workers. They let us mess around with all the instruments and showed us how to play them. The guy was very cool and was casually playing other instruments while we were there.

Lisa Hagy

My husband and I were in Asheville NC to go to the Salt Caves and he was just starting to do a sound healing class so we joined in. We left there went to the Caves and it didn't measure up to the class Billy gave. Made sure to get a DVD. What an awesome experience. Would definitely do the class again and the store was great too.

Gayle Jann

Billy does an amazing Sound Healing on Saturday and Sunday. It is hard to describe exactly what he does but the effect is magical. Sometimes the sounds are soft and sometimes they powerfully penetrate your whole being. Billy is so talented and he uses a unique variety of instruments to create this flow of energy that is tangible and ethereal at the same time. I love it!

Thomas Pickral

Great shop, unless you buy and drum and break it and then expect them replace it for free even though drums don't come with insurance no matter where you buy them. If you don't expect things for free you will love Skinny Beats and its extremely knowledgeable owner Billy.
