Here at Dubs, we don't take ourselves too seriously. Every month-ish, we like to update our fans via carefully tailored emails by a consummate professional. If you need a good laugh, look no further and scroll to your little heart's content. And make sure you read all the way to the bottom...

JANUARY 2023

What. A. Year.

2022 was THICCC. We had a remodel, found many dirty pillows, lost one phone and nearly lost our minds watching Dua Lipa. Here's a recap...Dubs style.

JANUARY

Spring cleaning came early this year. We did away with a wall and some counters, giving us a very open concept feeling. Perfect for those clinics we used to have. Remember??

FEBRUARY

Love month was cookin'! Our buddy, Jerwayne got his dream Gretsch kit & and some dude played Darren's tubs. #ohmygadd

MARCH

Dubs, 6th birthday came in March and we said "I DUA" to our first concert since the pandemic started. And some rad kids came to the store too...

April

We fooled around and found out in April. Darren found a new disguise, our towels got dirrrty and we FINALLY sold the Batman kit. I LOVE YOU, VINCE!!

MAY/JUNE/JULY

Darren did some ugly crying this Spring/Summer as he watched his only child, Claire, graduate from high and head off to college at Western Oregon. How he birthed such a great child is a mystery to all of us.

AUGUST

Darren and Tara were grounded from hanging out together after A LOT of August shenanigans. Lost phones, hot dances and many a beers made us overdose on Ibuprofen and Gatorade.

SEPTEMBER

I'm just gonna leave this right here....

October

Tara turned the big 42 in October and was granted permission to hangout with Darren again! And another dude played Darren's drum set...Weckman was his name, I think.

NOVEMBER

Running Man was doing God's work in November when he ran the NYC Marathon for St. Jude Children's hospital. Thanks to all you Dubsters, we raised $6325 for children's cancer research. Thank YOU!

DECEMBER

We closed out the year with a bang. December marked our busiest month to date and boy, did we celebrate! Shuffle board & shots, courtesy of our local watering hole, The Back Lounge. Thanks to all the customers who made this year our best ever!

DECEMBER 2022

SanTara says, "Don't delay, we still have stuff that sleighs!"

Lookin' to slide some last minute gifts under the tree?

No problem! We still have snare drums, cymbal packs and drum keys galore. Can't get lil drummer girl/boy to tell you what they want? Gift certificates are a great option for any picky/choosy drummer.

Wanna get your kid into drums but noise and price got you scared? We still have some of these NU-X DM210 electronic drum sets left and they aren't pricey! Come by and ask for the Taraffic discount!

September 2022

What's tall, skinny and runs like a baby giraffe?

Darren!

I'm sure you've seen DP galloping around town, training for his marathon. This time around, it's the New York City Marathon November 6th, but some things never change...and they shouldn't! Darren of Dublin, once again, is running to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. #godswork

Tara, I would love to contribute to Saint Darren's run. How can I help?

Well, first off, you can bring me food & beer while he's gone. Secondly, we will have a series of some super special drum stuffs for purchase with 100% of the proceeds benefitting Saint Darren, I mean St. Jude.

Our first of many items!

This absolutely stunning steam bent hard rock maple snare drum from local builder Brooks Drum Co. Big ups to Mike Damico, founder of Brooks Drum Co. for creating this absolute masterpiece of a snare drum.

August 2022

Hot girl summer is in full swing!

We hope you are enjoying this hot, hot summer because back to school is right around the corner!

Tara, I've spent my hot girl/boy summer everywhere, but on my drum set. Does Dubs still have lesson spots open?

Why yes, you vacationing mad woman/man! Starting September 1st, Dubs will have lessons 7 days a week!

Our teachers are the best, and their schedules fill up faster than Darren eating a banana after spin class.

Get me on your lesson list right meow!

Don't forget, we have all your back to school needs! Drum sticks, drum heads, mallets, OH MY! We just got a boat load of practice pads AND stands so no excuses, people! Get 'em while they're hot!! (and in stock)

JUNE 2022

It's been too long, Dubsters!

If you like it then you should've put a ring on it..

Big ups to the Warriors for bringing home their 6th championship! As a Knicks fan, I'm not bitter at all...I swear...But do any of you really watch sports? Or do you just like the color blue? #itbringsoutmyeyes

While people have been out, celebrating the Warriors great success, Darren and I have been taking in a TON of gear!

Tara, I thought Dubs only did consignment and trade-in for gear. Why did you start buying used gear?

Great question, figment of my imagination.

Getting new gear in the shop has been harder than trying to get Darren to eat a 3 course meal. Between labor shortages and supply chain conundrums, it's been a stressful 6 months to say the least.

This means our inventory is changing on the daily, but Tara is trying mildly hard to keep the website updated with all our current drum sets. Click here to check out what we might have.

CLINICS? WHEN WILL THERE BE CLINICS?

I'd love to answer this question but like most things the past two years, I cannot predict the future. Let's say...

SOON!

In all honesty, who would've thought that Dave Grohl would become America's sweetheart? He could run for President and would totally win. Unless he ran against RuPaul. Now that would be a drag race for the ages! Also, just realized the "inbox" comment could be taken inappropriately but I'm leaving it since my initial intention was 100% pure.

NOVEMBER 2021

Stock is low but our hopes are high!

If you've been in the shop lately, stock is thinner than Darren after a half marathon!

*Funny story; I actually got sent to the principle's office in 7th grade for wearing a Spuds McKenzie shirt to school. My sister was a Budweiser girl so we had all the swag. My mom was not thrilled when they called. "You pulled her out of flipping class for a forking t-shirt? What kind of shitake mushroom is this?!" ::said in thick, Long Island accent using much more colorful language::

Ready to get the kids out of the house??

We can't wait to have everyone back in the store! We miss human contact/getting sick of each other's company.

Tara, what precautionary measures will you be taking to ensure the safety of students, teachers & staff?

ERRR-THANGGG!

Here's the lowdown on the lesson plan:

We will be working diligently within the next month to provide a safe and healthy environment for teachers & students. All three lesson rooms will have air purification systems, masks will be provided to teachers & students (if needed) and hand sanitizer will be readily available. Here is a list of guidelines to ensure a safe teaching space:

Student’s temperature will be taken prior to the lesson by the teacher. Anyone over 99.1 will not be allowed to take their lesson.
Surfaces in the lesson room including the drums, music stands, door knobs, etc. will be sanitized between students. Teachers will have time in-between lessons to make sure everything is clean and ready for the next student.
Masks are to be worn at all times no exceptions.
Parents will not be allowed in the shop. Please communicate pick up/drop off time with your children. Parents may come in the store when the lesson is over but may not wait while the lesson is taking place. PLEASE make sure your child knows how to use a landline phone in case they need to get a hold of you and do not have a cell phone.

In addition to these steps, we will be outfitting the studios with brand, spanking new drums, hardware, and cymbals. w00t!

Interested in taking lessons at Dubs? Click the button below, fill out the lesson inquiry form and we will get back to you as soon as possible!

Hot 4 teachers

Production, ordering & shipping has been MURDERING special orders and inventory stock with pretty much all our vendors. Please be patient if something is not in stock. I'm no Jessica Fletcher and this problem cannot be solved in 60 minutes.

TEACHER FEATURE!!

You've probably seen Christian in the shop from time to time when he's not on tour and he will now be teaching at Dubs! He currently tours the world with popular Celtic-Rock band Seven Nations, as well as many other International artists such as The Stepcrew (Canadian Dance Production) and The Family Crest (Orchestral Pop Band). Crisco brings over 30 years of playing experience and 20 years of full time touring tips and tricks into his teaching.

Don't get me wrong, Foo Fighters are my favorite band and Dave Grohl is my idol but I'm sure even he would agree that Tina deserves to be in a class of her own, say 30 years ago.
