DCP 2011 Year in Review + LIVE NAMM 2012 Updates

We wanted to take a minute and thank each and every one of you. Without your continued and growing support, we would not be where we are today. With your support, 2011 was a banner year for us. 2011 marked our 2nd full year in operation during which we experienced tremendous sales growth.

To meet rising demand and ensure that our service level continues to be among the industry’s best, we’ve welcomed two great drummers, Tom Ash and Tony Interlande, to the DCP family. In the shop, on the phone, and online, Tom and Tony have excelled in strengthening DCP’s service-oriented culture. In the summer of 2011, we tripled the size of our retail shop, providing you with the opportunity to check out even more cool stuff. So once again, THANK YOU for all of your support. We look forward to working with you to make 2012 the best year yet.
