The owner did not want to replace it because it would cost him too much money. I asked him for a letter stating he would honor any defect in the shell that arose, and while he agreed by phone, he never sent anything. I'd NEVER do business with them again. There are other drum shops who will treat your gear with more respect

It is wonderful to find solid customer service again! This was my first purchase from The Drum…read moreShop in Portland, Maine, and I was completely impressed with the combination of attention to detail and proper customer service that I received from Paul when I placed my order online. My 20-inch Zildjian paper thin crash cymbal arrived on time and it was the exact one that I saw played at their website. They take the time to weigh their cymbals and that is of great value when you are comparing likely sound differences in sustain and stick definition, especially among cymbals of the same size. In addition, Paul gave me an excellent price. Excellent. The Drum Shop earns my highest respect, my highest recommendation, and my future business.

They recently helped me re-setup my Tele after I screwed it all up by adjusting the neck on my own. They did great work, and got my guitar back in shape pronto.

So it cracked! Buckdancer's were able to fix the crack (it happened two years in a row) beautifully and did not charge me an arm and a leg to do so - reasonable price! The guys working there are really great. I have had a good experience shopping there over the years for myself or grown children. Highly recommended! Phinneas, the owner, is a very nice man too! PS They gave me some great advice on hydrating gear to protect the guitar going forward as well.

Once the customer and his son was done inquiring about the drum set for sale, he turned his attention my way. I was interested in him restringing my guitars at home for my children for Christmas. I set up a time to drop them off and he assured me that he would have them done in a few days after drop-off. Tom also told me about the in-house lessons that he offers. I had a blast looking at all of the instruments on sale and talking to Tom about the local music scene! The prices are reasonable. Nice Shop with Great Customer Service!

Online scam artists....do not deal with this business online…read more Two orders unfulfilled. On February 2, 2018 and on February 14, 2018 I placed orders with Dube's Music online to purchase red Fender guitar coffee mugs via PayPal. I e-mailed Dube's Music. No reply. No product delivered. Started a PayPal dispute to recoup my money, and e-mailed Dube's Music again. Next step is to contact the BBB

Treasures of all kinds can be found here: coins, costume jewelry, carnival glass, strange t-shirts, stranger home decor, toys and statues, books and buttons, vintage electronics, old kitchenware, a guitar corner... you could come here every week and find something new (new to you, anyway)! So many friendly and knowledgeable people; I watched one vendor explain to a couple how flea markets worked (she genuinely encouraging them to barter for anything they were interested in). We had a couple vendors tell us that they had lots of stuff 25% to 40% off, just to ask if we were curious. Make it a point to visit here, especially in the winter months when the farmers market is happening at the same time. It makes for a wonderful Saturday morning outing!

Some items do seem a bit high, but when people buy things at Thrift Shops for re-sale online, why shouldn't the Thrift shop make the profit?
