Update Coming Soon

An update for theDrumDictionary will be out soon. I'm adding several new beats as well as cleaning up some audio and the interface. Be sure to let me know what features you'd like to see in the future at support@thedrumdictionary.com ! The update will also include a key/legend showing which drum/cymbal is meant by which line on the staff, for those who are not used to reading drum music. Also, remember to follow @DrumDictionary on Twitter for the latest updates. Keep on drumming!

Sales Going Steady

Sales of theDrumDictionary are still going steady after a few weeks. Thanks to everyone who has helped promote and for those who have purchased the app! It's been getting purchases from all over the world. We've gotten a few reviews, but more are always better. I'll be getting back to work soon on some smaller updates and beginning the process of preparing for some bigger new features. Keep on spreading the word and getting the word out to the drummers that you know!

On another note, it also looks like there's a little more competition out there in the "learn drum rudiments" category, but that's ok. Competition is always good for the product and consumer, right? theDrumDictionary is still in a class of its own with the audio available for listening and looping. I'm excited about the progress so far and have some good ideas for future updates.
