About the program
Apart from everybody’s vast experience in their field, together we spent the last few years learning, developing ideas that finally come together in the form of this unique online service. So far we did all that we could to prepare the first version of the website as good as possible. Now, it’s time to publish it unofficially as a beta program to face the needs of our very first group of 100 students worldwide. Thanks to whom we will be able to fine-tune the site and create the best experience for your studies possible!
This program doesn’t have the end date. We will want to stay in touch with this group of 100 people alongside as the service evolves. We want to create this bond of trust and mutual support so together we can create a unique place for drummers to study and grow. We want to stay in close contact with all the beta testers, support them in their education through the site, and cooperate to constantly develop the service and keep the highest quality possible.
What we offer
We want to offer you a unique, annual subscription plan with a special price. This price will last for as long as you keep your subscription active. It means you can keep this price for the next 25 years or even longer if you want to. The regular service cost will average around 265.00 £ / year.
For our special beta users, we offer the price of 85.00 £ per annual subscription, which as we said can be automatically renewed and will always stay the same regardless of how much more materials we will add or how big the service will become.
For us, it’s a partnership, teamwork, and adventure. As a beta user, you will always be informed about new features, ideas for the new courses and strategies. By knowing the site you will become a reliable source of feedback. We hope to build a drumming connection that will help all of us to simply get better.
What we need from you in return
You will get all access to all the service features, support, and what’s most important, high-quality educational content but as you probably know beta versions may be unstable and contain bugs. This is where we need your help! We need you to be proactive, attentive, supportive, and patient. Building a site is a process and it needs understanding that some changes may take a minute or ten. It’s not easy to work out all the bugs that’s why we need a team of people who will spot the errors that we didn’t notice. If something doesn’t work as intended, seems abnormal, or simply doesn’t look correct we want you to screenshot and share your concerns with us. Once we get the information our team will try to fix it as fast as possible.
In conclusion, once you become a member of our Beta Test Program we want you to study with attention and be an active member! We’ll be always open to all of your suggestions, comments, and ideas to ultimately create an easy and effective drum studies.
