Evans and Promark Merge

My favorite heads and my favorite sticks? big win in my book. D'addario is the best in quality control I have never gotten a bad head/strings/snarewires from evans.

I'm not aware of any Evans issues, but D'Addario strings had an issue a couple years back where the ball end on .010 strings would come loose. I used to watch Chris Cain (who I don't think has an endorsment but should) start retuning his high E as it would start going flat and know exactly what was going on. About a song and a half (or one long song) and it would let loose. I know one local journeyman guy slogging it out 5-6 nights a week who wrote the factory and got a halfhearted admission that it was a known problem. They offered to replace any bad ones he sent back. His thing was to not use the one that came in the set, but to buy singles just for the .010. I had talked to the guitar tech for a D'Addario endorser I know and he showed me his technique for stretching/breaking in new strings. Once I started doing that, I stopped having problems and passed the technique on to all my friends. Haven't heard of the issue recently so they must have solved it. The things only last me about 3 gigs anyway so they don't stay on that long. Other strings didn't last that long, which is why I stuck by D'Addario.
 
Now, if a Stick company, A Head company, A Cymbal company, A Pedal/Hardware company, and a Drum company would merge???
 
Sabian/Zildjian would be the killer, wouldn't it? Imagine that!
 
Whats next?, Remo & Regal Tip, or maybe Sabian & Vater...Hmmm?.

I'm lovin both mergers.

I use ProMark barrel tip 5As and Vic Firth acorn tip 5As depending on the music style I'm playing.
I also use Zildjian As and Evans heads.

Its all good. : ]

I'm thinking that Remo and Regal Tip will be the next merger as Regal Tip is the Canadian distributor for Remo.

hahaha....

That would be funny. And really, not totally out of the question. It was Armand and Robert who had issues with each other. Who knows if the family feud will continue into future generations.

I often winder if the younger members of the family get together on holidays. Just because Armand and Robert didn't get along doesn't necessarily mean all the various other cousins, siblings, etc, don't get along.

Tell that to the Hatfields and the McCoys.
