Actually, I did have some feedback. I used the George McCurdy signatures at a show that evening, and one of the tips essentially exploded during the performance. The handle and taper remained intact, but the tip splintered into a dozen or so pieces. Now, I’ll admit that I was playing very hard, but it was still a problem I’d never seen before.
I contacted Agner about the problem, and they said they were actually already redesigning the tip to prevent that kind of problem in the future. The new McCurdy signature has a more rounded tip to prevent breakage, and is also a bit longer.
Hello,
Just found your site. I was thinking about Dennis Stauffer today – I’d had a Phattie kit built about 6 months before he passed. Read your interview – thanks for that. Reminds me of how much I liked him despite only chatting a couple times during the build of my kit. Now following your site – look forward to reading. Thanks, Darren
Hi, last year you did a review on Agner drumsticks. You talked about using them for a show that evening. Any followup on the performance? Thanks, Mike

Thanks for the inquiry!

Thanks so much, Darren. I knew Dennis very briefly, but he helped me out a ton in that time. Such a generous and thoughtful guy.
