9/4/14 UPDATE about upcoming expansion in our Chicagoland store: We've acquired the new additional space right near our primary facility and we are now preparing the space. The new location will be our primary facility for MaxWeb Productions which includes our photo studio, our expanded audio and video recording facility, as well as our base of operations for our podcast channel. This will allow us to use the current location as more of a showroom and let us display the kits more effectively, and it also allows us to ramp up the operation with greatly expanded capabilities for photos, audio, video and podcasting.
July 4th, 2014: Hello everyone. Time for a change! Over the past year I have been thinking about an ideal website structure. For me, that would entail a website with two distinct sections: One for shopping and one designed for those of you who want to spend time looking at our videos, reading stories about drummers and drums, getting tips on tuning, and more. Basically, this second section would be my personal communication platform to all of our customers. In the past, I've addressed this by using the main page of our website, but that is limiting. By the same token, a complete website re-write is a very long, expensive undertaking. So, I have decided to launch my own personal website which will serve as this "second part" of our overall website experience. I like to call it "The Lounge" and we're at www.stevemaxwelldrums.com. You'll be able to link over to us here at "The Lounge" from our existing www.maxwelldrums.com website of course, and that link will be prominently featured on our main page of the maxwelldrums.com site. With "The Lounge" I will be able to provide more in depth information and news, as well as interesting videos and the like. Additionally, you can link to our existing video channel which is housed on You Tube and you can also link to our Podcast channel as well. And, you can even link to our Facebook and Twitter accounts. All of these links are clickable from this page. So, as we roll this new site out I am hoping that you will share thoughts and comments with me so I can focus on the type of content you'd like to see here. I am reachable by email at vintagedrums@aol.com and I would very much welcome your thoughts and ideas for content down the line. Thanks, and, I hope you will enjoy this as we start rolling this out! Steve
