Drum Setup Application Development

[PASHA]

Just a small update here...

Actually we had a HUGE progress with the forthcoming Drum Setup Application!

What is done:

Added the ability to save setups.
Ability to create unlimited amount of setups per user.
Ability to mark 1 setup as "Top" or "Main" setup.
Ability to name/rename setups to what ever desired.
Created Drum Setups List (user edit section) from where users will be able to go to edit screen for each setup.


Users will have 2 pages: 1 where they create/edit setups users will have to be logged-in to get to this page, and another one will be used to display users drum setups.

to add to Pasha's post -
The sample linked in this thread is, for all intents and purposes, discontinued at the point where it is able to pass basic info from one page to the next and is not being updated.

Development has progressed to testing on DSA servers with full database support, and site integration is the main focus right now.

You guys are gonna love this, it has already shot far beyond my expectations and hasn't even hit beta yet. There is nothing like it elsewhere on the web, this thing is slick. I, personally, cant wait for it to open.

Excellent!  PASHA and Reno deserve some major recognition and gratitude in developing this new application.  Let's make sure their efforts are appreciated and used.  Thanks fellows...Tomm

Dev and beta are in final stages, release is imminent..
Watch for it!

Just a short note to all users that the Drum Kit Setup application is out, and everyone is welcome to create one... Or as many as you desire!

All kudos for this amazing application goes to Reno!

Create Your Drum Setup by following to Drum Setup List and clicking Create Drum Setup link.

PS: users who had their drum setups done on the legacy version can still get to their legacy drum setups by following:

http://www.drumsoloartist.com/wiki/setup/USERNAME - obviously replacing USERNAME with your Drum Solo Artist username.

PPS: we also would like to thank those who participated during the BETA testing and helped us make this application better by creating a few setups and by doing that, showed us all the down sides that needed to be fixed.

Cheers

You are too kind - But seriously it was a joint effort, I didn't even come close to doing this all by myself.. Kudos to PASHA too.

This is one seriously cool app.  Kudos to PASHA ands RENO.  You guys rock.

Thanks, Ken


A few notes about using the thing:

- When you drag a drum, the number drags with it. But you can also drag the numbers to arrange them, independent of the drum it belongs to.

- All items (and/or their numbers) can be fine-positioned by clicking 'Fine-Tune' in editor. Moving objects this way does not disturb their stack order.

- Clicking an item on the stage brings it to the 'top'.. The z-index buttons can be used to move items up or down, so if you find yourself with a kick on top of the toms you can push it back down where it belongs. You can click an item or number on stage, or in the list to select that item. Clicking the number or the list line does not bring the item to the top.

- Bass drums and pedals are rotatable when selected. Rotation buttons appear in the 'editor' area between the stage and the list.

- the buttons on the left side of the editor move the item up and down in the list, changing the number accordingly.

Hey Reno

Thanks from me and, I'm sure....from other readers..... for those very helpful "user tips".

I've posted my set-up and had lots of fun doing it.

I know everyone is going to really enjoy this new app.
