I am an independent thinker and doer! I am a drummer just like you! I live, eat and breathe drums. Over the years I was employed by Guitar Center. I decided instead of working for the man......I want to be "THE MAN"! I have over 15 years of experience in music retail. I understand your needs because they are my needs. I am a "No bull" place to shop with. What you see is what you get. I will provide you with the best, most knowledgeable service possible. If you want a better price and ZERO SERVICE......then please go somewhere else. I don't apologize for making a living, so don't bother trying to grind me for a better deal. The price is......what it is! I am fair and honest. Some people will tell you "We will do whatever it takes" to make you happy and fall short with empty promises. Well I have this tattooed on my forehead to remind me who pays my bills and puts food on my table......YOU......THE CUSTOMER!! I will treat you the same way I expect to be treated when I spend my hard earned cash......LIKE KINGS! We all work hard for our money and if you CHOOSE to spend it with me, I will do whatever I can to show you my appreciation. In closing my mission is simple: to provide the best products and service to my customers at the lowest prices possible. I take great pride in my company, my commitment to customer service and in the products I sell. My online store is designed to provide you with a safe and secure environment to browse the product catalog. I hope that you will enjoy your shopping experience with me. If you do, please tell all of your friends. Thank you for your support! Joe Araujo
