What Is The Deal With Endorsements?
Drumeo Gab Podcast
We all want them....right? But what do endorsements do for you? What happens next after you get one and post online about it? Have you ever noticed that some artists tend to switch companies often? What does it all mean? This is my opinion on endorsements after five years of observing. Todd Sucherman also makes some great points to consider too.

Todd Sucherman, the drummer for Styx, has one of the most immaculate and astonishing modern drum collections I have ever seen. It was during a Drumeo Coaches session where I heard him speak in fascinating detail about a Serenity drum that he owns that I decided to reach out to him to talk about his impressive collection.
So, this is what we have here. Todd goes through each of his most unique snare drums in his collection. These are all bespoke drums from custom builders all over the globe. Whether it is Sugar Percussion’s Sequoia snare drum that was harvested from wood ranging upwards of 5000 years old or his Providence snare drum crafted from the cylinder head of a Rolls-Royce, each of these drums that Todd describes is works of art with a tremendous sentimental appeal.
We are also treated to the sounds of the top five unique drums that were recorded directly from Todd’s home studio. This is a special episode for drummers. An episode that will hopefully ignite our inner drum nerd.
You Will Hear About….
- Incredible details and stories regarding each of Todd’s top 10 unique snare drums.
- A blindfold test to see if you can tell which drum is which.
- A story about Todd’s Signature Series Bubinga drum set and why we should buy the drums of our dreams.
- My own story about the Sugar Percussion drum building workshop.
Why Should You Listen?
I know that part of being a drummer is the admiration of gear. The history, the details, the sounds, and the dreams we all have for those particular pieces we would like to see in our own collection one day. I know that this episode re-ignited my passion for the gear. I used to drool over DW’s kit builder as a teenager and I looked through the Modern Drummer magazines to see what new shell technology was being developed or the newest line of Zildjian cymbals that were available. If that sounds similar to your own experiences, well, you will probably enjoy this episode.
