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!

MARCH 2023

It's a slam dunk when it comes to Dubs & Drums!

Slam dunk or slam drunk? The choice is yours.

Stumble into Dubs because we got drum sets galore! Bop kits? Check. Collector's Series in yummy yellow? Check. Stage Customs? All day long, baby. Our deals will get you as intoxicated as Darren after two Coors Light cans.

Tara, I have plenty o' drum sets, how dem snare racks lookin'?

Our snare selection is thicc'r than a dirty bass drum pillow! We have snares made from all different types of materials. You'll leave the shop with a shiny new tub and your bandmates will be saying "Yo, check dat brass!"

At Dubs, everything runs

in the family!

Like mother like daughter? Pretty much. With skin as white as milk and a mouth like a sailor, the apple did not fall far from the tree. At all. Here's a couple pictures of my then 87 year old Grandma R and my spry mom (aka Old Bag aka OB) at some past St. Patrick's day celebrations. **PRO TIP: Zoom in for some A+ reactions.

We can't stop dancing because Dubs just had its 7 year anniversary! Can you believe it?? Thanks to all our customers & teachers for contributing to our success. Without you, I'd still be in corporate retail and D-Train would be driving around a Boxster (w/auto trans, ewww)

*7 years, sheesh! What a ride! The real question is how did Darrick survive without me for the first year? Drumsticks piled on the countertops, drum heads stacked to the ceiling, cymbals hanging from hangers, lessons in the bathroom! Ok, ok, I got a little dramatic there but you know what I mean. We are definitely Yin & Yang and it's been working this long, eh?*

MAY 2023

The Warriors extended their playoff run, so Dubs is extending the capacity of our 2 Todd Sucherman master classes!

You read correctly, Dubsters. We've added 5 seats to each night of the master classes. We are super stoked to get y'all back in the store to get learnt.

Tara, I'm over the moon about these added seats. How can I register ASAP?

We have many-a-options!

#1) Give the shop a jingle and registering over the phone.
B) Shimmy on ova to the shop and register in-person. (WARNING: Tara will likely be eating while Darren is updating the Tik Toks.
Lastly) register online by clicking the link below.

Master Class Registration

Teacher feature

Let's give a warm welcome to our newest teacher, Kyle Caprista! Kyle will be teaching on Sundays, even though the retail side of the shop is still closed and is taking new students. Mosey on over to our website, check out his bio & send us a lesson inquiry. Our teachers are so hot rn and their schedules fill up faster than our voicemail box.

Pipe dream? Probably. But a girl can dream, can't she? It's fine. As a lifelong Mets fan, disappointment is my middle name. Luckily, I'm not a Jets fan but I'm here for the dumpster fire that is Aaron Rodgers.

Support your local drum educators!

What do you do when one of your teachers was in a super popular late 90's pop-punk band?...

Shamelessly plaster old pictures of them all over the interwebs!

Our second favorite teacher, Dan Garvin will be playing with local lords of Danville, Salvage Title at the Dublin Farmers Market tomorrow night from 6pm-8pm. He is many years removed from his SR-71 days, but thankfully for you and I, the internet is forever and bottomless.

Tara, I have not heard of this band that you speak of. I thought SR-71 was a freeway in Southern California?

Don't get your frosted tips in a bunch! Here's their most popular track, Right Now, courtesy of the YouTubes.

The 90's were great

Frosted tips and countless bottles of Stiff Stuff.

and this face is priceless.

**chef's kiss!**

INFO:

How bad of a writer would I be if I didn't give you the low low on Dan's gig? Well, considering I forgot to link my own podcast in the last email, I've set the bar at stepping height.

Thursday, June 22nd Dubs will be closing at 5pm so we can get prime heckling I mean viewing of Dan's band. If you have lessons, don't fret! Our teachers will be continuing with their regularly scheduled programming.

Here's a handy dandy map I made of the facilities! Bring your sunscreen, a chair and your favorite beverage!

Darren and I are really making an effort to attend more live gigs. As much as we love going home and watching Netflix specials about Dua Lipa, being out and around (certain) people is impairative to self care. Also, beer.

Take Pride in your life!

Here at the Drum Basement o'Dubs, we love what we do. Our job, our friends, our extra circular activities. And nothing says love like being interviewed on a podcast about a job you love.

Long Term Customer Relationships

When I was asked to do this interview, I jumped at the chance to shamelessly promote the shop while simultaneously advancing my brand. I also knew it would make my mom really, really happy.

What does the podcast focus on? YOU! I drop some knowledge bombs about customer connection and retention. I also dabble in the exponential benefits of not taking yourself so seriously.

Tara, you're famous and I want an autograph. Did you listen to/watch the podcast?

Absolutely, yes. You can have an autograph. And absolutely no. I hate the sound of my own voice and the thought of watching AND listening to an interview of myself makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

It's summer time and we wanna know...

ARE YOU DTFm??

That's "Down To Farmers' market", silly!

Darren and I love few things more than drinking and watching live music. Starting June 15th, the Dublin Farmers' Market will be hosting live music from 6pm-8pm! Come find us rollin' around in the grass! June 22nd, our infamous teacher, Dan Garvin will be playing and July 6th, one of our fav customers, Dan Hertlein will be tappin' dem tubs.

Dubs logo is getting a makeover!

Sick of seeing the same ol' vanilla drum shop logos? The "custom drum badge" or "integrate snare drum here" or my favorite "the awkward font your grandpa used when he first got Microsoft Word". (Although we do have a soft spot for some comic sans.) Well so are we! Be on the lookout this fall for some fun Dubs merch. This isn't your run of the mill, Jake from State Farm khakis-type merch. Like these emails, it will be fun, somewhat edgy and cover you like a warm blanket on a cold night.

Tara, how was your hot gurrrl/boi summer? You looked very busy on The Instagram picking up lollipop debris and disposing of baby bass drum blankets?

Hot gurrrl/boi summer updates:

McKay's to Mexico City, hockey tournaments & concerts. Darren and I had a busy summer!

Unfortunately, I think baby bass drum blankets and lolly pop debris are a permanent part of my future.????

We are getting a ???? ton of Gretsch drums and DW hardware next week! Be sure to keep an eye on the socials to see when everything arrives and also watch me cry in a corner while I figure out where to put all this stuff.
