If he doesn't, he doesn't. And this affects me how? I mean, the usual manufacturers will still have the usual products on the market. Since I have my own opinions on gear, I really don't care who's endorsing whom. But for those of you who care, carry on.

And now, a word from our sponsors...

UNT_BD_QFiver Registered: 09/06/08 Loc: Utah	Originally Posted By: drumcorpbc Originally Posted By: WCUPerc2012 This was discussed when BD originally made the switch. The organization made the switch due to financial benefits. Scott Johnson and the staff are all still endorsed by Vic. They would not discontinue their best-selling marching sticks. Fret not, my friends. You might want to check your facts again. Jim Wunderlich and Sean Vega are both Promark signature artists. Gary Juarez and Ben Maughmer are also endorsed by Promark. Tim Fairbanks is an IP artist. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see Scott Johnson leave VF when his contract with them is up. I've never seen the numbers, but is Scott's stick their best selling marching stick? I would think Ralph's stick would be their best selling marching stick. Bill, Go easy on the little kids! The "Vega" tenor stick is not a Sean Vega stick. It's Scott Johnson's stick. Calling it the "Vega" tenor stick was a nice gesture that Scott made to Sean, but Sean never had a signature stick. Now that Sean and many of the other BD cats are with PMark, Sean may finally get his due (i.e. the $$$$) Scott is a VF guy and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Having said all of that, I hate Scott's stick (LOL - sorry Scott) Nothing can beat a really great pair of Ralphs... hands down.
