In this video I’m sharing a genuinely huge piece of news for me: I’ve officially joined the D’Addario family as an artist for Evans Drumheads. I’m honestly humbled by it, because I’m just a drummer who plays, rebuilds and flips kits, and tries to give you straight-up, real-world gear reviews. Evans and D’Addario have been a big resource for me over the last year, and when they reached out at the end of 2025 to ask if I wanted to come on board, it was one of those “wait… what?” moments. I also want to be really clear about why this happened: it’s because you’ve been watching, sharing, and supporting what I do here. Having an audience that actually cares about drum gear and working-drummer life is what creates opportunities like this, and I don’t take that lightly. If you want to learn more about Evans, I link their site, and if you want to support the channel in a practical way, using my Sweetwater link helps a ton. Thanks for being here—more Evans-related content is definitely coming as I keep doing what I do: testing stuff, playing it, and telling you the truth about it.
