GROUP BUY: Ocean Way & Drum Masters Ultimate Studio Drum Bundle!

[maximilians1]

Okay, we've got the extras for 400. You ready?

• Over 100 more midi grooves from ODD GROOVES courtesy of Per! He can talk more about those but it is a taste from each of his sets of odd time signature and more complex grooves than you normally see.

• A mystery extra Signature Snare from a famous drummer - I shall reveal which one and who it is soon. Aha!

• Ocean Way Drums Kit 10 Medium that normally comes free only for the OWD Expandable Player... we'll let you have an Infinite Player version of it to add to your set up (so that makes it 13 mix kits total from OWD)

• FIFTY Hybrid Kits featuring mix and match kit pieces from the kits in this bundle including "album ready" mixes with built-in processing, hard rock in your face drums to polished pop sounds to aggressive Metal, Hip Hop and more.

----

If we reach 500 there will be 50 more Hybrid Kits, even MORE midi grooves and another mystery sample surprise.

GOOD LUCK!

very nice!

Alright, we'll stretch it out a few more weeks for you guys. But normally the coupons expire within 30 days. We might be able to make them closer to 60 days and even give you the coupons now if you've joined. We'll work on that and let you know.

Great! End of February would change things a lot for many I think. Thanks for considering this.

Now let's head for 400!

Has anyone contacted any music blogs regarding this group buy ? I sense thats one advertising outlet thats been neglected. We've done a good job of getting the word out using music forums judging by the amount of external threads started but I havn't heard any mention of music blogs being notified. These are some sources that I could see being valuable for getting the word out: http://rekkerd.org/ , http://www.harmony-central.com/ , http://www.musiciansnews.com/ , http://www.sonicstate.com/ .

[someone called simon]

good point.

Can we contact the blogs, or does it need to be a press release?

BTW, we are now at 316. We keep inching forward, but I'd love to see a leap!

They each have over 25 kits and while some of them are in this group buy you will all get a $99 off coupon on either of them... which would essentially make this group buy FREE (if you were going to get either of those two volumes ever anyway... normally without a coupon saving you over 50% off the list price which is $229!). But the fact that you can use the coupon TWICE ($99 off Volume 1 and $99 off Volume 2 as well if you want) means that if you were ever going to get both volumes you'd be not only getting this bundle with OWD kits and hybrid kits for free but also saving another hundred bucks... all by joining this group buy.

Squids - I know you recently mentioned that the coupons would expire in January (you have since extended that), but I guess I was confused by this quote from you back on page 17 of the thread where you seemed to use the word ever a few times, which I inferred meant that the coupons were available for a longer period of time. Perhaps I'm reading something wrong and it is a simple misunderstanding, could you clarify what you were trying to say back in this quote?

Thanks,

Yes, and I am going to answer Reverend Rhythm's post as well with specifics. I have to check but I think now that the cards have been charged our system recognizes the purchase as a pre-requisite which will allow the coupons to work even today - as soon as they are created. Then I can simply give you guys the coupon codes in here and through email to use any time between now and mid February (with the extension per request). They won't work unless the system sees you've purchased the group buy so it is fine to show the coupon in here. I will work on that today if I am correct about it working that way.

Regarding the expiration dates, first all digital coupons have an expiration date but as to why it's not longer, in case you were wondering, is because we're getting an okay from our various partner producers, artists and studios to do this one time overkill deal on everything as an introduction to a large amount of people. After this is over everything is of course back to normal price! This isn't a blow out of something old that is being discontinued but rather a SPLASH (no pun intended) introduction to some current and fresh new products! There's a limited amount of time they'll all accept less royalties etc. for the purposes of making that splash. So if you're one of the lucky people who came across this deal and jumped on it while it was offered then well done! You can get a lot of great drum collections at once here starting with even JUST this group buy for someone on a budget and/or additional OWD, DM or EpiK collections for less depending on how much further your budget can afford. We don't want to tease anyone who can't afford it but we don't want to leave out the people that can from benefiting from our ability to do it across the board on our drums just this one time.

More news on what you can save specifically off of other drum-related products for the Infinite Player soon. I am not saying there won't be other benefits to buyers of this bundle and ALL Drum Masters users later down the line though past mid February. I don't know about discounts on OWD though but maybe some of the specific titles in the Drum Masters 2 series in some kind of promo or something. That's not out of the question. It's just that THESE coupons we're going to give you will no longer work after February 14th. I can't promise there will be others but... we always have good rewarding deals for past purchases. There's even deeper discounts on ALL eSoundz products by your membership level which goes up the more you purchase there... and then there's epointz which can be used on additional downloadable kits and grooves for the Infinite Player as well (and those esoundz epointz can work on www.downloadablesoundz.com for a la care downloads as well - you just have to link your account from your member's area of esoundz).

More specifics coming!

We'll send out a holiday press release to get into the news of whoever will publish that. If that helps!

[jensa]

I found it! The answer to all our questions. How Mr Squids thinks!!!

[Squids]

I didn't even know Coldplay uses Sonic Reality sounds (via the plug-ins we make with IK). Check it out: http://www.ikmultimedia.com/MainPhp.htm ... hp&Id=2389

I'll make a post in the SR forum. We never do that but I know many people like to know who uses our sounds so... I think we'll do that more (as if we don't do enough name dropping otherwise! But still... good to know!).

[Rainman]

Not name dropping per se but a good buddy of mine is the production manager for Coldplay, used to work with The Bare Naked Ladies. If he's around this X-mas I'll query him about their gear.

Cool Gaucho! High in the Custer Dome?

By the way, the singer from Bare Naked Ladies uses our stuff. I just put together a huge package of things for him. He is managed by Rush's label so it was through their A&R guy who is a friend... he's he one who made the Neil Peart thing happen. Small world interconnected.

We're all 6 degrees away from each other anyway because believe it or not Kevin Bacon uses our sounds too! I am not kidding. He has a band with his brother and he showed up at NAMM to tell us a few years ago. There's a picture somewhere. Pretty funny. I love the movie Diner which I think was his best role personally... but then I also love Barfly and movies like that so I am not so mainstream really. Not a Footloose fan.

Okay I have the coupon info part 1 which includes what you can use it on for OWD and EpiK DrumS. The Drum Masters 2 Coupons will come a little later and run through the end of February (so two weeks longer if that helps).

Important note about coupons: They cannot be used at the same time as any other promo or discount system such as epointz, membership discounts... if you have epointz and use the coupon the epointz will stay in your account to be used on something else (you can still earn more epointz with a referral though). Your membership discount is bypassed and it is the amount below taken off the price you'd see if you weren't logged in (to avoid confusion, that's all you have to do to see). So it is off "street price" or "base price" which is what we call it. However, that means it is even MORE of a discount off the MSRP than the street price already is in the first place... bottom line is that it equates to some really nice discounts for everybody in the group buy.

NOTE: The coupons will work by some time tonight. I will let you know when they are active.

Pre-requirements to use these coupons: Purchase of regular Ultimate Studio Drums GB or the Paypal Version
