With all the talk of endorsements and rumors about how they work, I was wondering what a typical drummer gets from a typical company with each endorsement level.
I'm not fishing for one (absolutely do not deserve one) and am tired of seeing the endorsement question thread all the time (yes, I appreciate the irony of starting one myself...)
A friend of mine is endorsed by Paiste. He doesn't appear on the website roster but he does get a discount on cymbals. I'm not sure what it is though. If there are several tiers to the endorsement "package", he's probably on the low end. He gets a deal on cymbals but they probably wouldn't provide top of the line international support.
At any rate, what does a typical Tier 1 drummer get that's more than a Tier 2 or Tier 3 and so on? A better discount? A clinic schedule? Etc.?
