Worlds First Drum Machine in Pedal Form!

I also voted for Phil Collins. Pots and pans could have been interesting. Not sure what I'll do with Drums & Bass...or that I even know what that means. I'll be providing the bass! Of course I'm sure the votes of a lot of non-bassists were a factor.
 
THE WINNING 11th DRUM SET
The results of the survey are:
Phill Collins's Drum Set: 23.46%
Drum 'n' Bass: 30.22%
Ballad: 10.63%
Acoustic-electronic: 13.67%
Pots and Pans: 4.4%
Other: 17.62%

So congratulations to the Drum ‘n’ Bass voters -- this will be the 11th drum set available ONLY to you guys! We’ll email you all with a link to download it once it’s ready.

I didn't vote drums n bass... it is kinda vague, eh? lol
 
That reads oddly, to be sure. On the other hand, I would be very surprised if they were actually tracking the votes like that. It was an apology for being late in the first place---why only give it to 30.22% of people?

Also, if the last of us don't get our tracking numbers tomorrow, maybe they will do another one?

I got my tracking number yesterday, but so far I don't have anything more than "a shipping label was created on September 20 in Niles, MI." It's going out Priority 2-day mail though, so I suppose I could potentially have it today if Saturday counts as Day 1. However, I feel that tomorrow is more likely, and this being USPS we're talking about, Wednesday is likelier still.

I am willing to be pleasantly surprised when the mail truck comes by this afternoon, though :-)
 
Beatbuddy arrived at 10AM (weird delivery time) this morning! I only had a chance to go over the instruction manual and plug headphones in to listen to some of the beats but they sound pretty good! I didn't have the money initially for the footswitch, and I can see why that would be a highly recommended peripheral. The manual mentioned running the beatbuddy separately through full range speakers like a PA, is anyone else going to be running a setup like that? I can't wait to start feeding fuzz, envelopes and modulation through it personally. Might need to start looking into a separate pedalboard just for the beatbuddy and all the weirdness I plan on running through it.
 
Well... I'll be quite happy to start the new thread since karstepper didn't :). New thread here for all those who'd like to participate. I really think this will make life easier for us if we start posting our impressions there, but you are of course all free to do as you please.

Now I can get to actually opening it :hyper:.
 
Still nothing for me. I've been occasionally commenting on Facebook but like everyone else I am getting the canned response...if you guys think I've been complaining, you should see some of the people on Facebook, talking about canceling their orders, filing claims, etc.

I just sent an e-mail to all three e-mail addresses I have for them to see if they can just go ahead and give me my tracking number. I mean, I don't know how their logistics work, but I assume if they shipped them they have the numbers, right?

I should go to the facebook page and gloat, shouldn't I :).

I have a shipping number but no indication it has gone anywhere since getting that number Saturday AM.

I will say it's a little silly for people to be up in arms on facebook now that shipping is occurring. We've waited for 9ish months, what's another week or so at this point? I'm anxious to play with it too but in the meantime just hit the shed...

Couldn't agree more. As disappointed as I am that apparently I was in the last fraction of those being shipped out (or...worse?), now that it's a real live product would be the silliest time to bail.
