I understand what you're saying, but I know for a fact he already had an endorsement with Shine custom drums, and changed to Truth after about a year out of preference, hasn't changed since.
Not to be harsh, but that's kind of another "meh" brand, IMHO. Tarted up Keller shells. Not that this is a bad thing... but I think the fact that the raw materials are the same is very telling. The artist in question switched for some other reason.
FYI, You could build your own stuff just the same. Some of the DIY distributors will do all of the hard stuff for you for free. You just need a screwdriver and then get your IKEA on.
And the kits do sound great, as we all know ears don't lie, and every band I've seen live with a Truth kit has had great sounding drums!
Ears may not lie, but sound boards stretch the truth (I swear, no pun intended!). Unless you play these kits yourself, you just can't say anything about the sound.
I'm not really trying to say "Yay" or "neigh". Food for thought.
