San Jose, Calif., — The Enter Music Network, (EMN), recently launched as the first niche, drum industry ad/marketing network, has expanded internationally through a percussive partnership with IndianDrummer.com. The addition of IndianDrummer.com, the premiere South Asian drumming web site, enables the EMN to capitalize on the far East drumming market. The alliance benefits Indian Drummer since it is extremely receptive to bringing networks like the EMN into the region.

"It helps our advertisers run campaigns with reach into a market that will be a significant source of future growth for music products manufacturers. The Indiandrummer.com development team has a great site and great plans for growth as well."

The Indian audience, more than in many South Asian countries, is receptive to band-based rock.

The partnership is equally beneficial to Indian Drummer since it will bring new marketing opportunities to the region.

Our land has limitless opportunities, a huge customer base and a vast area to market music products.

So let us join hands toward infinity and beyond."
