^^ His Zildjian sign sticks are still on Z's website .... My guess is that the logo's will be changed from Z to VF soon...

I just hope they'll still be availabke no matter who makes them.

Don't you know that Z and VF are doing business together ? So if VC switch it would be for another brand than VF, my guess would be Vater, just sayin', he can also stay with Z.

^^ ... and being the first Zildjian drumstick only endorser seems a bit odd to me. And I do know that Z took over VF. Just considering this from a marketing point of view. It's a easy solution to end an edorsement but not loosing the business: move from Z to VF and keep the stick VC is happy with. Just change the logo. And VF has a big name ....

But Vater make great sticks ...

Published April 7, 2012:

Some of you may have noticed that we posted a news item a week ago that suddenly disappeared from our website. We wrote that reliable sources had told us the great Vinnie Colaiuta was about to drop a couple key endorsements.

But then we took enough heat from readers – including one fellow whose website was loaded with photos of he and Vinnie palling around – that we began to doubt the veracity of our sources.

But we didn’t stop digging for information, and finally got to the bottom of the story.

So while we’ve sworn not to reveal the exact details of the impending moves until they have been officially announced, we are now able to conclusively state that Colaiuta is about to drop a couple of his longstanding endorsement companies in order to switch allegiance.

Be sure to keep your eyes on this news column as further details emerge.

What are they talking about? He's endorsing Ludwig and Paiste. It is official.

I've always thought of Drum as unreliable. I'd only read it as a last resort form of grain of salt drum entertainment.

I'm with Circh. Drum! has always been a mess of a mag, as far as I'm concerned..

I'm surprised no 1 has mentioned this but would this be his Bonham influence?

You could be right, or:
