The store is now open. Give it a visit, and maybe pick up a nice, new shirt.
The SwingStomp shirt I’m wearing in the photo below (with my lovely wife Mia) is seriously my new favorite. It fits great, is super lightweight (including the ink), and I can finally wear something drum-related in public without feeling goofy.

What’s up with the store

Honestly, I meant to launch the store here months ago, but I held off because of the aforementioned logo confusion.
Now that that has been addressed, I’m currently putting together the first offerings for the store and will announce their availability soon.

New SwingStomp logo (and it was never a tambourine)

I’ve always liked the SwingStomp logo, but to many people (mostly non-drummers) the image of the drum in the logo looked like anything from a tambourine to an “industrial pipe”—pretty much anything but a (bird’s eye view of a) drum.
Well, my longtime friend and drum tech Ryan Malaschak, creator of the original logo, has done a brand new version, and he and I agree that it totally looks like a drum now. What do you think?
Here’s the brand new logo:

Here, of course, is the old, original logo:

Our first product MileMarker1 is available on the iTunes App Store as of late yesterday, and we are currently developing some more very cool software for release in the near future. Stay tuned!
