    I've loved the drums the entire 5+ decades of My Life. And randomly browsing My eyes lit upon this…read moreused Pearl drum kit, living in FL. Fast forward to dropping the proverbial hammer, I did the business, paid the $$, and finally - took forEVAh, emotionally speaking (just about 3-4 weeks IRL) - My drum kit arrived in CA. And here's where My magical day manifested. The Drumming Section Guy - Dewayne, the human being in the pics with the super cool hair - assembled the million drum parts while answering all of My newbie drummer questions. And while I was completely engaged & distracted, AllofaSuddenouttaNowhere My new Drum Baby was born! It really felt like Xmas morning, I was sooo, soo excited I almost peed Myself loll. Dewayne educated Me mostly enough that I was able to reassemble 87% of My drum kit at home; if I had to wrestle with that huge box We started with, I'm positive I would have been too overwelmed, given up, and sadly returned it... but That's Not How This Story Ended. Thank You Dewayne. You are a Good Human Being, and I will be forever grateful to You. These Guitar Center folks made a great hire with this one loll.

    One of the gears of the tuning pegs was worn down on my acoustic guitar, so I came by on a Saturday…read more9/6/25 around 10:40am to see if they could help. As soon as I walk in, an employee who's sat down at a table with a clipboard asks why I came in today, and I tell him I'm trying to get my guitar fixed. He writes down my info and the make and model of my guitar, and directs me to the repair counter. To my dismay, I see that they put out a sign that said someone will return at 11am on the dot. They have a ton of cool gear to look at so I didn't mind browsing but once it got to be closer to 11:10, I decided to flag down the cashier. He made a call and asked for someone else to let one of the repair guys know I needed help, and said he'd be down shortly. I continue standing awkwardly for at least 10 more mins before Gene finally shows up. Now Gene is a nice guy, he clearly knows what he's talking about. At least to me, someone who's a complete novice at guitars and instruments in general. He inspects my guitar and the worn gear. When I asked him how that could've happened, he explains that due to my tuning pegs having an open-display, it makes it more likely for everything to shift around, which can lead to the gears being worn down over time. When I asked if I could just replace the one worn tuning cog, or if I needed to replace the entire set, he said he could replace just the one cog, but that it may be best to replace the entire set and additionally install enclosed tuner pegs. Considering the install would've been less than $70, I said go for it. I gave it 4 days before calling for a status on my guitar. It was infuriating trying to get a hold of someone from repairs. No one answered so a different helpful rep named Cole told me he'd leave a note for someone in repairs to call me the next day. He apologized profusely and hoped that I'd get help soon. I like Cole. I didn't receive a call from anyone past 3pm the next day so I called them yet again to ask for a status on my guitar. A girl who didn't introduce herself answered and when I explained to her I had spoken with Cole several different times while he tried paging me to repairs, she told me she was going to page me to repairs AGAIN, despite me already telling her my horrible experiences with never getting through to someone in repairs. When I asked if she could just walk over and get someone from repairs to speak with me, she completely ignored everything I had said and told me she was going to page me to repairs. If I had facepalmed myself, I probably would've blown through my skull. Thankfully this time though, someone named Ulysses answered and I explained that Gene helped me and that he it was "just going to be a couple days" to replace the tuner set but that it already had been 4 days, and I've received no status update. Ulysses asked for my name and checked the work order Gene had for me, then tried to explain that sometimes if they're waiting on specific parts to come in, it could take longer. I then explained that Gene literally showed me the parts he was going to use and that it would run me less than $70 for the parts and labor. After that, Ulysses said that he was going to try and work on it and have it be done the same day, and that he'd call me. He did call me later that day to inform me he was finished and that my guitar was ready for pick up whenever. It was a lot of hoops to jump through but I'm just glad someone at least got it done. When I came to pick my guitar up, I did chat with Ulysses about it and he mentioned that repairs was incredibly understaffed and that they're always dealing with so many repair jobs, they can never keep up. It's totally understandable but Guitar Center needs to train their staff to better handle the status updates at least. Kudos to Ulysses for getting the job done for me as soon as he could. Also shoutout to Martin and Cole too for just being awesome, helpful dudes.

Frank's teaching style is very open and catered to the student and he makes learning very fun and is also very encouraging especially for beginners! I would highly recommend if you're looking for a drum teacher/lessons, Frank is very helpful and knowledgeable!

    I am completely dumfounded that someone could leave a negative review of Frank's efforts in any…read morecapacity, whether they be studio drumming, lessons, recording--you name it. He is a consummate professional and one of the hardest working people I have ever met in my life, who makes this look easy (doing music professionally). The only people who would leave a negative review are posers and reverse-shills. Having worked with Frank in nearly every facet, short of being taught how to play drums (I have taught with him though for years), it goes without saying for me, that he is worth every star I just gave him, because that is what he is: a star and a sun. If you don't believe that as well, it is because you reside in the shadows, where you belong. A bright star casts a dark shadow, and there you are. Frank has played on many of my songs and has recorded and engineered on more songs than I can count well beyond my meager contribution to music as an art form. You don't need to take my word for it. Try him yourself, and then one will not be speaking from a place of ignorance, in the shadows.

    I came across an ad for a free handpan lesson. I was so excited because handpan music has been so…read morecalming and that's all I've been listening to lately. It was such an amazing experience. We were lucky and got to experience Liron Man play for us since he was here for a music convention. He's been playing for 20 years and you can definitely feel how much heart he puts into his music. It is Dave's shop and he was very sweet. He actually makes the hand pans which is very cool. Daniel was our instructor and he was very engaging and funny. I loved his energy. He told us about the different types of handpans and went over the rhythm, melody, harmony, and silence. Daniel was kind and went around the room to individually help everyone. I'm so glad I got to try it out. I'll definitely be coming back as it's $75 for an hour lesson. It's also $150 a month to rent out a handpan which also goes toward the payment for if you decide to buy.

After a quick introduction, the story, and the lesson, I realized I indeed wanted one... just a matter of when. The lesson here was amazing. I didn't leave playing a full-fledged song (I'm a first-timer), but I left with knowledge, motivation, and a thirst for more. There was no pressure to buy any instruments or to sign up for any products. The only difficult part was finding parking. The plaza is U-shaped, with businesses along the U but not much parking around for customers. Some cars were parked in unofficial spots, so I would recommend planning for parking during your visit.

Coming back to dance felt intimidating, but last year I found Uno's Dance on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I was nervous returning to dance, but I'm so glad I did. I was specifically looking for open-level adult classes and thought it would be fun to try a K-pop class. From the very first class, I realized this isn't just a typical dance studio--it truly feels like a community. Uno teaches full dance covers of entire songs, incorporates formations, and even films the dances in costume, which makes the experience feel complete and rewarding. There are also opportunities to perform throughout the year, which is a huge plus if you enjoy performing or want something to work toward. The environment is welcoming, supportive, and full of positive energy. I genuinely look forward to every class, and dancing consistently has also helped me with my fitness and confidence. Uno has been a big inspiration in helping me rediscover my love for dance, and I'm grateful for the friendships and experiences I've gained here. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a fun, encouraging place to dance and grow.

I feel so blessed to have such an instructor who always motivates and takes personal interest towards the fitness for each individual in the class. I love the Killer body class wherein it is the whole body workout. Fun part is that it is not only workout but she also adds little dance movements like salsa, K-pop, shuffle dance for 10-15 mins along with the signature steps of the popular songs. I'm so happy to be a part of this fitness center where I made genuine friends and my teacher is so much dedicated and passionate that there was no day when the Studio was closed or the teacher was absent in this entire past 2 years. She is really a great guide and highly inspirational. Love you Uno :).
