„In 1982 my dear friend Norm „Scotty“ Scott from Jack’s Drum Shop in Boston introduced me to my first Sabian cymbal (which I still play today!), and I immediately knew: That’s it! The rest is history.... Many thanks to Andy Zildijan and all the people at Sabian in Marshfield / Massachussets. Great cymbals, great sounds, great service, always there and helpful, even when I pay one of my surprise visits... And the same goes with Musik Heer in Zurich. Jimmy Schmid, thanks so much, you are always there, top informed about the products, always take time until I find the right sound – just great! Many thanks also to Tony Wallis, my first contact in Switzerland: Tony, thanks for inviting me to Montreux that day. You made it all happen! The Sabian Day in Zurich was fun! .... and hot!!

Vater Percussion www.vater.com
Every time I visit the Vater factory in Norwood / Mass. it feels like coming home. The Vater family has a very special athmosphere in their company, which in the end shows in the superb quality of their sticks. I never break one! Everyone there does a great job. And what’s most impressive: The boss checks every stick, that leaves the factory! As Mr. Nobody from Switzerland I was always taken care of, as if I were one of the big guys. I really appreciate this.  Alan, Ron and everybody at the Vater factory: Thank you so very much for all your support over the past years and the best sticks there are!
