Thats called a pyrimid plan..kinda fishy if you ask me. I think you really need whats called a " morter and bricks " business for musical instruments
Any of you familiar with Mary Kay, Advocare, or any of those other business plans where you step up based on your sales?
Does anyone know of any sort of percussion business with this platform?

Many of them are pyramid schemes. Mary Kay and Amway have always been a bit more polished but at the end of the day, they are a form of multi-level marketing where you have to pay a fee to get in. Whether you do well or not, they've got their fee up front.
There's probably not anything like that in strictly the drum business but I've seen it in music before, targeting musicians. Back a few years ago there was a company called BurnLounge and they were claiming big profits by pushing music downloads. A lot of friends of mine were getting caught up in it. They even had a famous name on the literature that baited you in because it makes somebody think that, if that famous guy endorses them, then they must be OK. Well, a lot of people got scammed (burned) and I saw it on the news a year or so later that the company was in being investigated and later it dissolved.
Here's a Wiki on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BurnLounge
So bottom line: Be careful of things that sound almost too good to be true. And if it even remotely looks like multi-level marketing (read, Pyramid scheme), run the other way!

I agree with Drummer business like that use big names to get people sucked into buying their products.
I wonder you you get a pink set of drums if you make it big in this MLM scheme?

Not all multi level marketing things are bad, some smaller buisnesses are very legit actually. they just get a bad name. But there are many out there that are scams.
