I no longer maintain this website on a regular basis as other interests are now taking my time.
I keep it online though, as it contains still useful information.
The correct link to this website is: http://marcz1.home.xs4all.nl/percussioninformation/

Please note that a slight change in the URL of this website (and hence of all of its subpages) took place:
marcz1.home.xs4all.nl replaced marcz.home.xs4all.nl (spot the difference!)
Please adjust your links to my pages!

The result can be seen here.

One more thing:
This website has been built according to CSS and XHTML standards and is best viewed on browsers that support those standards. Internet Explorer (any version below version 7) on Windows/Mac does NOT belong to that group. If you don't see this layout when you view the site with your browser, it's time for a change to Firefox, Opera or Safari.

My Percussion Information Website was launched in 1994 and was even reviewed by Modern Drummer in 1995.
At that time there were probably 10 websites related to percussion - mostly drums - and web design was very remote from the current state of affairs!
Over the years some redesign was done, but it stayed pretty much the same the last 10 years. It was time for a change. This is how it was.
I used Rapid Weaver to design a modern CSS-based website that is much more accessible and easier to navigate. The templates used are from Rapid Ideas. But because it was too limited for me to maintain I used BBEdit from Barebones to tweak and adjust the code that I had and turned it into what you are using and seeing now. And of course all that was done on a PowerMac G4 Dual Processor from Apple.
Some stuff was too outdated to keep, some stuff was not longer relevant and some stuff didn't fit my site. I removed it all.
I also restructured the inner workings of the website, meaning that - if you had links to one of my subpages - you most likely have dead links right now in your website! I'm sorry for that, but it was really necessary to do, the number of files and folders had grown beyond control.
The only thing that I kept the same was the starting address:
www.xs4all.nl/~marcz
and I added this one: www.xs4all.nl/~marcz/percussioninformation
Probably you'll encounter anomalies or strange behaviour with this new site or you miss things that you visited in the past. Please let me know your comment.
I hope you like the new site!
