NAMM 2008
I FINALLY managed to get into the NAMM show this year.. after being in LA for 3 years! I’m only getting round to blogging about it and putting pics up, though it happened January 20th. I hope to get in to the show properly next year without sneaking in with someone else’s pass
.
Lots and lot of cool stuff to be seen. I only got in for the last few hours on the last day and though I was glad to get in, I was disappointed I didn’t have more time as there was just SOOOO much to see. My pics are pretty much drum focused but the show covered every western instrument you can think of and then some, including the usual guitar, bass, drums, keys, but also pianos, stringed instruments, wind instruments, marching percussion, computer software/hardware, mics, speakers.. just everything.
Back to drums .. here’s Glen Sobel playing some particularly weird looking but extremely cool see-through partially square drums! ..
Biggest-bass-drum-in-the-world prize goes too..
Littlest-bass-drum-in-the-world to ..
Bluest-kit goes to..
Saddest/funniest-job-in-the-world, for a few minutes anyways..
