Obviously I’m a Risen Drums guy, but the Australian drum manufacturer Brady Drums has had my attention for a few years now because of their artist endorsement policy. Namely, they don’t have endorsing artists. They don’t give anything away to anybody… not even a discount. Instead, they simply publish all the info on pros who buy their gear and what products they buy.

It’s worth spending some time scrolling this list to see all the names that have purchased Brady Drums over the years. It’s also worth noting how many of them specifically purchased 12×7 and 16×6.5 snares… which are not exactly common sizes.
