Edrumming.com

Last night I alerted everyone to the grand opening of Edrumming.com, which by all indications will be a tremendous resource for e-drummers of all stripes. I added a link to this site here, and submited a link to ours, via DTXpressions.com, there (each under the respective Links area). I exchanged emails with Chris Jude, who is the man behind it all, offering Stephen's review of the Zenbals, to which he was very receptive. He had this to say: "Great! Submit links here if you wish. Also, feel free to avail yourself of any resources here. For instance, if some of your users would like to chat with each other in real time, they are more than welcome of course. And, while we want to encourage the broadest possible participation, users can create private chat rooms if they wish and invite others. If you get a group that wants to get together regularly, we can create a "preset" room and make it public or private. You could post the dates and times on your sites as well as ours (both on our calendar and in the forum) for such get- togethers. The same goes for other features. If you dream up a way to use something that we haven't thought of, let me know, and if we can, we'll implement it. We already have one person designing a drum module VSTi that is considering recruiting beta testers here and developing and testing the software in a limited access forum to be created. Everyone will be able to 'read' and follow the progress. The testers will have "write" access to post. They may have their own forum and chat group to facilitate it along with the use of ftp space to upload/download stuff as well as some links to hosted screen shots and progress. (All out of somebody's 'I wish I could...' email.) "So feel free to challenge your users to dream up ways to get and give as much as they wish here. The electronic percussion community (while growing) is still actually relatively small. And there are all these pockets of tremendous focused knowledge and expertise. Hopefully eDrumming.com can be a sort of bridge between them (among other things)." So if anyone here has dreams, share them here, or there, and we'll see what we can do to make them real. Ed
