Especially when I was younger I was probably more influenced by what my fav drummer was endorsing. As someone has already said, I believe that there are some who endorse because of their experience in knowing a good product.
As I have gotten older, and more expierenced myself, I go more for the sound of the instrument rather than who is endorsing it.
I can relate to Bermuda in that there are some instruments that I would not touch just because of who is ensorsing them! I won't mention any names, but a new recent cowbell comes to mind!
As far as the drum companies "fooling themselves" in getting endorsers who may not be selling gear, trust me, I'm sure they have done their homework. They are not going to participate or invest in marketing strategies (endorsers) that do not sell.
