I guess most people are like me - there is certain brands we will always be loyal to and we give them a lot of credit even if they screw up once in a while.
This could be because of strong marketing by those companies, good personal experiences, etc.
Let's hear your examples?
Me:
Tama.
My first drumset was a Tama Swingstar that I got 35 years ago. Never disappointed me.
These days a Starclassic Bubinga have exactly the sound I like. I don't own any Tama drums at the moment, but I will one day -)
Gretsch.
I love Gretsch drums. I think it's the history behind the company and the fact that some of the best sounding drums I have heard(close up in cafe's and small clubs) have been Gretsch.
I feel they have somewhat diluted the brand by having most of their drums made in Taiwan, but many other drum brands have done the same.
Apple.
I got my first Apple product 5 years ago and now have everything Apple. It just works.
I keep telling the IT guys in my company that they would be out of a job if we used Apple at work-)
MacDonalds.
What can I say-) cheap, unhealthy, conveyor belt food. But it taste great.
Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.
Had breakfast there almost every Saturday the last 13 years. My first choice of coffee shop.
