The NAMM show is the most sought-after convention for drummers. With a colossal display of drums, new products, creative ideas and up coming future occurrences. The year is 2009 and so we had the privilege to attend the show, shoot some footage, talk to some great people/drummers and check out the cool new gear that is for release for this year.
Being that this is Drummer Connection’s second NAMM show, we came back with a plan of action! Even cooler, DC founder Eric Rosebrock and content administrator/drummer, Keith Thomas joined the ddrum company a week prior to NAMM to help them set up their monster booth for the show! We got a chance to spend the week (and weekend of course) with Terry Platt and all the guys from ddrum and got to see everything they had in store for everyone to see when the doors open on NAMM day 1.
Come first day of the NAMM show, we were ready! We had plans to meet up with previous contacts from last years NAMM, along with establishing some new ones. The whole experience was great, and every night had an exciting list of events hosted by many vendors in attendance of the NAMM show. With that, we got some great footage of many artists performing, and even were standing next to celebrities standing in the audience watching!
All in all, the 2009 Winter NAMM show was an amazing event for everyone that showed up. New products, new artists, and all the free swag you could get in your bag and through security! Be sure to check out all the pictures and videos of what we saw at the show!
