"The D'Addario and ProMark family continues to serve as a critical partner in furthering my development as an artist, educator, and clinician. The consistency of quality in their products is exemplary, and their attention to detail in their products allows me to focus solely on expressing myself musically."

"I am extremely pleased with the TXDC8 and TXDC18i Snare drumsticks. We worked very hard to ensure both models felt "fast" due to each model's thin neck, making single strokes, multiple strokes, and buzz rolls easier to facilitate."
