pointless anecdote time: briefly met Tosin and Ken Susi at a Fishman clinic at the local music store a number of years back. ("met" as in fistbumped and said hi, that was the extent of it. I don't like pestering people, esp. when they're busy.) I bought one of Tosin's practice / technique demo DVDs, which Ken was handling and hustling off to the side. I figured that was a more direct way to support the artist than buying a set of pickups I didn't need. Ken jacked the price five or ten bucks higher than what they'd mentioned before the clinic and was presumably pocketing the difference? 
Tosin was chill (and high af, I think he floated in on a cloud of weed smoke hahaha) and passing around his custom guitar (Falbo Abasi days) for folks to try out. Susi somehow managed to condescend to me multiple times in a ~30 sec. transaction where I gave him cash for a DVD, which was hilarious and almost impressive. posterboy of the intersection of "cocksure" and "smarmy" if there ever was one. I don't think anyone around or under 20 even knew who he was, which made it even funnier. what a maroon.
