If you haven’t been there for a while, there are some great new interviews, including with Joey Bumpus, the drummer for Lady Gaga. Check it out!
You can find the interviews here: http://www.humdrumonline.com/interviews.html
Prior to this post, the only way to order a Shine custom kit was to build each drum individually and add each to your cart until you had created your ideal kit. That is all fine and you can still do it that way, but now we have made it a little bit easier for you to create your dream kit and get checked out quicker.
If you go the Shine custom kits section of the site, you will have the opportunity to customize a 3 or 4-piece kit. All your customization choices get applied to each drum in the kit, so you only have to make your selections once.
To make the whole process easier for you, we asked the folks over at Shine what the most common drum sizes are for 3 and 4-piece kits…and those are the sizes we make available when you create your kit. You get to choose all other options and upgrades that Shine has available. We did this just for your convenience, since size can sometimes be the hardest thing to decide on. But if you want to customize the sizes of your drums, just give us a call…or you can do it the original way - build one drum at a time, which lets you choose diameter and depth.
So check it out…and don’t forget - you save on sales tax when you order from us (except on shipments to New York State) and right now we are offering free shipping!
Also check out Shine’s home page for info on the drums and customizations they offer.
If you haven’t had a chance yet to check out our new interviews page, go for it. You can find it here. Our own Mike Flaherty had the privilege of interviewing Darren King and Paul Meany of Mute Math, which was a great way to kick off this new area of our site. They were amazing interviews! Make sure to enjoy and pass it along to any friends who love drums and drumming (or Mute Math).
We plan to add more interviews in the near future so be sure to check back!
So if you hadn’t noticed, we now carry Gator and SKB drum cases at our store. On the Gator side we are focusing on the Protechtor series of cases that came from XL Specialty Percussion, Inc. (XL Spec). They are now a subdivision of Gator. Check them out here. And check out the selection of amazing SKB cases here. For both Gator and SKB, you will only find drum, cymbal and drum hardware cases/bags on our site. But if you want to get a great deal on any of the rest of their products, give us a call.
Meanwhile, we have also added some Audio-Technica microphones. Check them out here. We are just featuring their products that are great for micing pecussion, but again…give us a call for anything else they carry…we can get it for you.
So today we are announcing free shipping on any Shine custom drum orders. This is a savings of $45 for snare drums and $199 for kits! Take advantage of this savings…also, keep in mind that we only charge sales tax on orders being shipped to New York state. That is also a huge savings that you should be taking advantage of!
If you haven’t tried to build custom drums on our site yet, check out Shine’s selection here.
We are now selling the Shine Definition Birch series kit and snare drums at 25% and 30% off! Check them out here.
These drums are Shine’s new production line. All the great features and quality that they have become famous for has been put into these amazing birch drums. You can pick from five different colors and for the snare drum, you can choose from several sizes. These really are beautiful and extremely affordable!
Just to keep things current…we are officially up and running and selling Shine’s full line of custom drums! Check them out at www.humdrumonline.com. We are especially grateful to Shine for being the first on board at Humdrum and we believe you will be as impressed with their product as we have been with their support and service. Not that we weren’t fans already, but we are even more so now!
Anyway, the store is launched and we are actively working on growing the product lines (XLSpec drum cases should be up there very soon). Stay tuned for more announcements as we continue to grow…and tell your friends to come join us on the Back Porch!
So after a long week of technical difficulties, we are back online and better than ever. If you go the store and forum, you should notice that it runs a LOT quicker now. That is thanks to a much better hosting service that we migrated to. Thank you for your patience over the last week full of many “cannot connect” messages and snail paced posting. Hopefully, you find this a lot easier to use now!
Anyway, we are now litterally moments away from officially opening the store…stay tuned.
So check it out…we have officially launched the site store/blog/forum…all of it. We sincerely hope you enjoy! (and spread the word) 
You may have noticed that the store does not yet have any products to purchase and that will be coming very soon. But the store is ready to go and that’s a big deal! We hope to have Shine’s full customized selection available online by the end of the week…then we will continually be adding additional manufacturers and their product. We will post an announcement here each time something is ready to go…
Thanks! Enjoy…
