Visit the brand new SwingStomp store
Posted by Mark A. Heinz at 11:35 PM Central

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
Posted by Mark A. Heinz at 3:23 PM Central

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)
Posted by Mark A. Heinz at 5:53 PM Central

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:

Just some quick, “stream of consciousness,” iPhone 3G snapshots from this afternoon at home that I wanted to share:

I was just poking through iPhoto, and this photo caught my eye and triggered some very nice memories of days of yore. It’s just a simple fan-shot photo of me doing what I love—with, and for, people I love.

I miss you and hope to see you all from the stage sooner than later. Thanks for sticking with me.

(If you took this photo, please let me know so that I can credit you.)
