No "endorsement", but people still bought something because of you

I doubt it....

...but someone would have to tell me for me to be sure...and that has not happened.

Biggest issue would be that I don't believe there is A brand of something that everyone should use...and it seems disingenuous to claim such a thing.(an obvious putting of $ above your respect for the people you might influence)
 
I know someone on this forum bought a Sabian AA 18" El Sabor due to how I described it. Peace and goodwill.
 
I don't know if I qualify for the conversation. I have been endorsing specific products for over 20 years, and while I have changed brands on a few things I know that anything I endorsed at the time I always would recommend to others. I know for a fact I'm single handedly responsible for at least 10 Yamaha drum kit sales, and a large number of Paiste & Aquarian sales. During my time endorsing Regal Tip I think 75% of my students all played them as well, and with Ahead sticks I've turned many drummers onto trying them out. Some even on this forum!
 
I have a couple..

I've "sold" a couple rock-n-roller carts based on other drummers seeing me use mine. How can an easier load-in/out not be at the top of one's to-do list?

That, and I recently turned a friend of mine on to the Paiste 602 MEs after he heard me play them. He went out and bought the ride and a couple crashes. I'm not sure if he's completely converted away from Zildjian, but I'm trying...
 
I did have a reasonable level endorsement deal with Amedia cymbals a good few years ago. When my friend Alex took over the UK distribution for Amedia, I parked that deal as it just didn’t seem right to continue. From that point onwards, I am aware of several drummers who’ve bought Amedia cymbals after hearing them live at one of my gigs, & a few that have bought as a result of Guru honest capture videos.
 
Ive gotten a lot of recommendations from drummers on here. one item i still use is the the gibraltar quick release hi hat clutch from a recommendation here. Locally ive given gear advice that people have followd with purchaes too.
 
ive not really ben influenced by the big players in my gear choices, but ive got a few poeple who now use the same cymbal company as me and drumstick company as me as they liked the sound of my cymbals and feel of my drumsticks :)
