What the Test Drive Winners Are Saying:
In its third edition of the contest, Test Drive has really helped past winners with their careers. The next winner could be YOU. Here is what past winners Andy Brown and The N Result had to say about winning Test Drive:
Andy Brown: "If it weren't for this contest, and companies like Taylor, Elixir, and Sonicbids, we wouldn't have had this amazing experience and reached so many new fans. It has opened a lot of doors for the band, and gives us hope that there are more amazing opportunities out there that are within our reach."- The N Result: "Winning the Taylor/Elixir Testdrive 2009 competition has really helped take our band to the next level. Not only did we receive top of the line instruments, strings, and cables, we were also able to record in one of the hottest studios in NYC and develop major industry connections. Thank you Taylor, Sonicbids, and Elixir for this tremendous opportunity!"
