Voting

[TAKnipe]

There were so many great submissions. I picked my top 12 submissions that I thought were winning combinations. What I would like everyone to do is to put their favorites in a post. Then we will (like James said vote on the top 10) and then narrow down from there.

I want to thank everyone for their submissions and remember to try to pick which bests represents our forum and what we are all about.

Also if you have an idea how to pick a winner from the next round of winning please speak up. I like Ghostman's suggestion of narrowing it down to the Top 10 and then voting on the Top 10. Thanks James I appreciate the input. ;D

[TAKnipe]

Here are my top picks after reading through it over a hundred times ( i originally had 19 or 20 favorites) Thanks again to everyone who contributed. When the contest is over we will do something special also for 2nd and 3rd place. These are all in chronological order of when they came in. Tom

EDF - The Future of Drumming з’Ѕ

[OverLord]

From that group I like:
Where Technique meets Technology
The Future of Drumming

And, of course,
Slicker than goat cum on a doorknob

[OverLord]

Oh, and I like the idea of narrowing it down to 10, then making a poll where everyone can vote.

I edited this post, here are my votes based on my new summary list. :D

I meant for everyone to go back through and pick your own favorites, you dont have to pick my favorites. Some may have 10 top favorites and some may have 12 (like me ;D) I wanted to give everyone a chance to voice their own top picks. Then we will pick the top 10 overall and find a winner through a site wide vote.

[alviswesley]

I only have two to add that have not been mentioned yet.

1. All brands All styles, EdrumForum. ( Jack)

2. Where the present beats the future. ( Bobby)

[kevincool87]

I think we'll get to the top 10 quicker and easier if we find a mean that'll allow us to choose more specifically, so I'll just pick one of Tom's choices. That and I had a long day... My eye's are begging for some relaxation time :(

My picks:

EDF - The Future of Drumming з’Ѕ

[OverLord]

I have gone back over all the suggestions. And barring the funny ones, the list you posted are pretty much the best. If I had to make a votable top 8 it would be thus:

The Future of Drumming (M. Render)

The coolest drum pad on the net (drum4ever)

Where Technique meets Technology (snarekick)

Every Drummers Favorite (forum) (BobbyMcK2)

Where the present beats the future. ( Bobby)

Enthusiasm about edrumming..................no charge (BobbyMcK2)

E=MC grooved (drum4ever)

Turn on your drums! (Ghostman)

*My list disqualifies a lot of great ideas that just don't make for a good slogan. There are also a lot of good ideas that would make for great section slogans. I suggest after this is over, we create slogans for every major topic heading. Like DIY could be "if you can't beat `em, rebuild `em" from E1R.

[OverLord]

I think I may need to disqualify "The Future of Drumming" since it is almost the same as eDrumming.com's slogan, "The Future of Percussion"
I know that plagiarism is basic to all culture, but that is too close.

[dschrammie]

Okay, fine....I'll put in my $0.02.
Not in any particular order:
Turn on your drums (ghostman)
We put the E in drums (drum4ever)
If you can't beat 'em, rebuild 'em (evil1rox)
EDF Because someone had to (TAKnipe)
E=MC grooved (drum4ever)

and my own not-in-time entries:
eDF - 432,000 drum sets and counting
eDF - 432,000 drums sets can't be wrong!

why that number? no idea...it's just the one that popped in my head.

and of course:
Mettez-le dans votre bout et raccrochez-le brutalement!

Seriously...that's gotta be on there...for no other reason than to confuse the **** outta people!

Thats a great idea, maybe we can use a few slogans on the tshirts and cups and hats. Who is doing the thong logo? E=MC Grooved? or Where "This Present pounds the Future"? or my personal favorite "Future home to a new EDrummer" TAKnipe ;D

[drum4ever]

As I have entries and this is a contest, I will abstain from voting or making suggestions. I trust your judgement and just appreciate the site.

[TAKnipe]

Right now we are trying to find the top ten, please give us your favorites. Thanks, T

[drum4ever]

Ok then 10 as I come to them....

Where Technique meets Technology (snarekick)
The coolest drum pad on the net (drum4ever)
Where the present beats the future. ( Bobby)
E=MC grooved (drum4ever)
Turn on your drums! (Ghostman)
All brands All styles, EdrumForum. ( Jack)
We Don't Make Drumming. We Make Drumming Better - (Ghostman)
Because Someone had to (TAKnipe)
Plugged-In Drumming (Overlord)
...and probably the most accurate but maybe a little too close to home (at least for me)...
Where Geeks with rhythm go to play (drum4ever)
8)

[TAKnipe]

Ok Folks, I am closing the voting this Friday July 4th and posting the final 10. We can let everyone vote in a poll and that will determine the winner. I do not want to unveil the winner until the new site is fully in place. I hope we can get that in place this week. T

[ghostman]

I guess the new site is not 'fully in place'? :D

[TAKnipe]

I think there are snags with the chat feature, I havent heard from Ron in a while and I am starting to worry. I hope hes ok. I will update everyone when I find out more. T

[fignewton]

[dschrammie]

[ghostman]
