Ya know...being a software engineer geek by day (it's way more creative than it sounds) - I got to thinking. Wouldn't it be cool to have some sort of small application to manage your practice time, what you practice, logging practice, etc.?
I know a lot of us use paper and/or recordings to track these things and measure progress...but we probably all do it differently and wish it could be better.
I recently wrote out a list of things I've learned since I started and it made me think - if this were in a database and easily manageable, it might be useful to other drummers!
I'm thinking it might be laid out to categorize the different types of things a drummer is working on. It could have some sort of calendar where notes could be kept on practice sessions...along w/ sound clips, drum tabs, etc.
Does anyone else think this might be useful? I'd build it and give it away...there's no money in selling software and I already have enough going on in my life. I'm thinking it'd be licensed to be free of charge and freely distributable (open source.)
If yes, throw me some ideas to incorporate. If enough people are interested I'll try to start working on it.
