Drum Beats Online I think meinl and Vic Firth are great company’s, when I started playing I started with Vic Firth sticks and all the demo’s of meinl cymbals I have heard are great, but I feel like different companies are for me(Zildjian,promark,Evans,pearl,Axis percussion for pedals) keep up the good work on All your vids!

Great point. I have a few friends that are endorsed. They don't know each other, but pretty much said the same thing. When ever they play out or make videos they have to use what ever company they use product. Most of the time, it's not an issue. But if you're playing a backline kit that could be a problem. If I were endorsed, I'd go with zildjian. I love the way most of thier products sound. And it's what I use already. First drum choice is ludwig. I love how they sound. And thier not crazy expensive. Second choice is a tie between Gretsch, and PDP. Vic Firth sticks, remo heads, and Gibraltar, or dw hardware.

Great video Gabe! This past NAMM Show, I was recently lucky enough to have a company believe in me to get me hooked up with a full set of cymbals at artist discount, and agreed to put me on their website as an endorser. I feel like I got more than I deserve, but am still grateful. That company of amazing people and fantastic cymbals is Amedia Cymbals. They are all handmade in Turkey: My other dream companies are Remo and Vic Firth. I’m not sure about what drum endorsement I would want yet, but I have a vintage Ludwig I really love.

@geoffarcuri7877 10 ай бұрын
I had a Pork Pie endorsement, Pro Mark and Aquarian. None of it was free and all were heavily dependent on my record deal and tour schedule. I was wanting a pork pie kit when I got that deal. Pro Mark approached me after a show in Houston. I was put in touch with Aquarian but never loved their heads so I let that one go and paid retail for Evans. I was very fortunate to play brands that I loved and I would’ve chosen anyway. Great to have support out on tour.
@kaneskinner3417 5 жыл бұрын
Great video!! Like you, i love my Ludwig Centennial kit and could never part with it. I don't have a cymbal endorsement as such, but an Australian company Rech Cymbals has most definitely helped me out with my new touring set up. I guess my dream endorsement company would be VicFirth. I'm plowing through sticks right now.

I'm glad to hear that you are still playing and have adapted so you can play to your ability! Right on! Love the sound of a Hammond B-3. That's very cool that you have a C-3/Leslie 122!

Any other SONOR nuts in the chat?? Great video Gabe, I think almost every company makes a solid product nowadays. There's always personal preference, but relationships matter the most! Until you're Vinnie C. and can get companies to drool just over the thought of having you, I think it's the best move to choose the one that works the best logistically and is also the most reliable. If I ever got a major endorsement from a larger drum company, that would make my world, just for honors sake!! Of course, it's on my end to market myself.
