Endorse Woodshed.

Think you have what it takes to endorse Woodshed Percussion?

While we intentionally keep our Featured Players roster small, we are always open to the possibility of forming new relationships with talented players and educators around the world who can help spread the word about our products and services.

What You Get (& What You Don't.)

In the following way only, we’re like most other percussion companies – an endorsement is not a free ride. Our players endorse Woodshed, not the other way around. We don’t simply hand out thousands of dollars worth of free gear to big name players just to get their endorsement.

We generally offer discounts on products as a courtesy and in consideration for what we ask of our players (see below) and we promote their efforts whenever possible. Our Players are also friends, and are treated as such. Endorsement level varies from player to player and at our sole discretion.

What We Ask of You.

Please take this into account before applying: we only want people representing us that whole-heartedly love our products...essentially, those drummers that choose to play our products regardless of their discount or endorsement level. We ask our players to promote our products, services and website whenever possible (including at clinics, lessons, live shows, etc.) We also ask our players to submit honest feedback on current products and those in various stages of development.

Who Has the Best Shot.

We are pretty darn picky when it comes down to who we choose to represent us. So who’s got an edge? Talented players who are busy touring and/or recording; passionate educators with a full list of private students, clinics and workshops. Seasoned players with a brain for invention and an eye for design. Charismatic professionals with a unique, outgoing personality.

Questions.

If you need more information, please contact Dominic Tancredi via email.

Due to our normal business volume and the significant interest in our endorsement program, please do not contact us to inquire about the status of your application; we will contact you once we’ve had a chance to review your packet, have made a decision or if we’d like to speak with you more.

We appreciate your interest and look forward to working with you in the near future!
