CYMBALISTIC: Shopify store coming!

UPDATE: Soft launch time— the new store is now active— I'm writing an official announcement as we speak. Feel free to swing by, check it out, ask questions. No doubt lots of little things will need to be fixed/made better, so let me know if any part of could be done better... announcement coming soon...

CYMBALISTIC: A pre-launch-of-something heads up here: I'm in the midst of setting up a Shopify store for this little cymbal business of mine. It will streamline and improve the getting-stuff experience for everyone in a bunch of ways: 

Easier ordering: You will now be able to order securely directly through the site.   

More cymbals: I'll be syncing my listings with the available stock at Cymbal & Gong, which will dramatically increase what I can offer.  

For cymbals from Cymbal & Gong's stock, I'll go to the warehouse and select the best, most representative of the model. You won't be buying at random.  

Discounted shipping: That's it, shipping will be cheaper, with free returns. 

More ways to pay: Including a pay over time option! 

Better communication: It will be easier to ask questions directly through the site, with a chat function so you can get answers in real time, as I'm available. 

Books: It will be an improved portal for getting my books, which will probably encourage me to publish some projects that have been languishing 90% finished for way too long.  

Merch: Branded stuff for CRUISE SHIP DRUMMER!, Cymbalistic, and Cymbal & Gong, and probably some cool other non-branded drummer related graphic items— coffee mugs, t-shirts, hats, and whatnot. You'd be amazed at the level of crap available to slap a brand on and have drop shipped. 
 

... I won't be doing that last thing. CRUISE SHIP DRUMMER! dietary supplements, lunch boxes, etc. I'll be very conscious of maintaining standards and not crapifying the whole thing— my entire brand is that you're getting some kind of expert guidance through the buying process, and getting stuff that passed my filter. We're not just hustling people to buy more crap here, the idea is that I'm helping drummers get what they need to do their thing, in a personalized way.  

Stay tuned, I hope to launch the thing next week, and will do some kind of special to kick it off! Get a jump on it by visiting cymbalistic.com and getting on my mailing list— I'll send an announcement when it launches.
