    What do you actually get out of this though?
    Just the same as run of the mill endorsements that allow you a slight discount on Mapex products?

    Re: Endorsements are fun

    Not sure on the details of Mapex endorsements, but the 'standard' deal that most of the manufacturers offer, if there is such a thing, is 40% off.

    Unless you're top dog, in which case you'll get stuff free, but that happens less and less these days.

    Re: Endorsements are fun

    Yeah, myspace is awash with absolute trash bands with "endorsements" right now as if it means they are somehow pro when all it is like 20% off AMPs/gear etc. No more than a gift voucher. Krank being the main culprit in my experiance..

    Bit of a derailment there;

    Well in on the Mapex single sponsor though mate, that's class.

    what do you get if your band recorded the theme tune to south park and thus a massive Zildjian logo appears at the end of every episode I wonder!?

    Re: Endorsements are fun

    Yeah,

    The entry level endorsements are around 40% off, which, considering I got my Saturn for nearly half price, a VX for my students to use in lessons for fuck all and free replacement heads/advertising on Mapex' website, is still a pretty fucking good deal!

    Plus, if you start there, it's always easier to build it up to a full endorsement should the band do well.

    I agree with chris though, there are companies who hand out endorsements left, right and centre, but as you can see from the Mapex website there are only around 50 people in the UK endorsed by them, and most are top drawer.

    Indeed, they make a total farce of the system in my opinion.. with so many deals being handed out, they cant actually give the artists the follow up and support they should be getting.
