    DW collectors series drum set that Derek set us up.

    Darren and his team are great. DDB is a very warm and inviting place wirh an amazing vibe. With the fast disappearance of physical shops, this shop is a fresh breath of air. They are easy to work with, accommodating, and know what they are doing. You are not just buying a drum set but also the knowledge that comes with it. Thank you.

    My three drum sets I've purchased from Dubs

    Darren has created a unique community. Not just a drum store, but an important and impactful part of the music community. He's very humble and grateful for his customers. He continues to contribute to the community and provides supper, equipment and resources for music programs. He also has a unique way of steering customers toward the exact right instruments. I'm proud to refer everyone I know who needs drums. I know that they will be taken care of.

    Yamaha drum set with cymbals and hardware all from Dubs!

Her deep love for music truly shines through her teaching and has had a beautiful influence on my kid. Because of Ms. Abduraimova, my kid genuinely loves learning piano and looks forward to every lesson. She creates a supportive and encouraging environment where kids feel confident and motivated. From classical music to pop pieces, she is able to guide her students with great skill and flexibility, making learning both effective and enjoyable.

She is truly a gift to her students and families.

    We rented here over the 24/25 school year for my daughter to pick up the Viola. The shop owner (at…read morethe time) was swamped with multiple people in the shop since it was the beginning of the year and he had some help. They were fairly helpful coming from someone who knows nothing about orchestral instruments. They had a wide range of instruments late after the local school started which was a bit odd but a sigh of relief for us since it enabled my daughter to play something. They had all the sizes needed in both Viola and Violin so that was good. The shop keeper's daughter helped size my daughter for the right sized viola and we were on our way! Or so we thought. His daughter said we're good but he insisted we get a chin rest for the viola. Repeating the fact that I know nothing about these, I listened and bought a $25 rest. Why? because I thought she needed it. Fast forward 8 months, my daughter NEVER used it. Apparently the rest is for kids who have trouble fitting it. So if you get one that's too big/small it is an intermediary. Problem is, she was sized for the right one! Again, thinking about the end of year, we are there to return and the shop keeper asks if we're going to play next year (in 3months). I tell him yes and he keeps drilling the statement, "It doesn't make sense for you to return. It's a waste of money because of your rental credit" The words rental credit in most peoples' minds would flag a "Oh i don't want to miss out on that money". I asked him to clarify what it was and what it was applied to and he kept insisting I'd be losing out on it. When he realized I wasn't budging on that front, he said that I would have to pay for another fitting fee too when we returned. I asked him how much it was and he didn't really give specifics. I told him we were going to not even touch it for 3 months because of travel and other activities and that I didnt' want to pay the 3 months rental. He kept insisting it's not worth it. He was talking a lot and honestly was confusing me so I said, "Hold on, let's do the math here." His tone changed completely. He realized what was going on and finally started talking straight. The fitting fee was $28... or you could say ONE month. The rental credit? It's in your contract (which you should review) and is a credit of 50% of your rental fees towards purchasing the viola you rented... Let's think about this. You've got a kid who's NOT fitted for a full size. Why on earth would I buy a 3/4 size viola? I told him we're never going to buy and he did the sensible thing of saying "You never know" and he was right. I don't, but I know i'm not buying a 3/4 viola. In the end, I thanked him for trying to "save me money" but told him I'm not interested. I'm not trying to say he was trying to swindle us but he was sure trying to get us to not return it when I made it clear, we weren't going to keep returning. On top of all this, he doesn't have a computer system for the rentals. That's fine in many aspects, just weird. I'd rent from here again since they were helpful and it's reasonably priced, but the return process was like trying to cancel your xfinity subscription
