This is an interview from Bart van der Zee's excellent Drum History Podcast! I'm sharing it to my podcast platforms with Bart's permission.  Be sure to check out Drum History Podcast! https://www.drumhistorypodcast.com/

About this episode: 
John worked for Zildjian for 24 years in a number of roles from sales all the way up to vice president of the company. I asked him to teach me how the industry works, and he did a great job of breaking down many roles in the drum world and how they all work together. John has personally worked with brands like Simmons, DW, and Zildjian - but these positions and roles are typically industry wide. This is a good way to learn about how it all works if you are interested in a career, but it is also a fun look at how the brands we all love work.

07 Sep 2023E2: Endorsements (Lost Episode!)01:09:50

Send me a text and please visit www.livefrommydrumroom.com

Episode 2 Live From My Drum Room, which aired "live" on Facebook on April 29, 2020. This is an edited version of the full version on YouTube. 

An episode devoted to endorsements in the drum industry and dispelling some of the myths. Viewers posted questions and comments and I've kept some of them to give context to the commentary. However, a lot of the questions and comments were edited to keep this succinct and on topic. 

Disclaimer: I based my commentary and opinions on my own personal experience working in Artist Relations for almost 30 years. However, the business has changed dramatically since I left the drum industry in 2013, so some of this may no longer apply. If nothing else, it's a peek into how endorsements worked in the drum industry during the golden era of the music business.
