Reply To: Joey Sturgis Tones “We Love Vocals” Weekend Sale — Up to 92% Off

[Peter Woods]

The name Joey Sturgis brings back memories of the most honest influencer that I’ve ever known (and no, not perfectly honest, but incredibly more honest than any influencer I’ve ever known), Cory Pellizari. It was his review of a Joey Sturgis drum library I was researching and his follow up comments that led to my respecting him and us becoming friends. I’ll probably do a blog post about it at some point. I really cared about and do miss Cory.

But he did what other influencers would never do, he told his true, unedited opinions of the product he reviewed and his experience with the developer. Cory told me about a few developers he felt similarly about — including Impact SoundWorks and Fluffy Audio, after I shared my takes on the two developers with him. But he did say that he was hesitant to do this again due to the fallout and other developers being afraid to work with him.

From his YouTube page with the review:

“UPDATE – Joey Sturgis Drums simply does not care about their product or its customer base. Despite customer feedback, they’ve maintained silence and refuse to optimise the patches, so it looks like my custom patches are the closest you’ll get to a smooth working experience with Miles McPherson Drums. sigh Developers really need to keep their egos in check.”
