last nigh i booked a band to open for us and the drummer has several endorsment deals. sticks, cymbals, heads and i think drums. anyway he agreed to play my kit to avoid changing over between bands. he liked my kit but at the last min wanted to change to his brand of cymbals. no problem really but his reason was that he didnt want to be seen playing any other brand that he didnt endorse and was afriad someone would see a picture of it. this gig, and their band fro that matter is not going to be on the cover of rollingstone or anything so it struck me as a little over the top reasoning. he doesnt endore Ludwig but played my Luddies so why bother to change the cymbals?? any of you guys out there with deals, and maybe Bermuda has a thought on this, play a non endorsed brand while sitting in and not worry about repercussions?
