Excitement fills the air, opportunity awaits. NAMM 2016. From the minute the gigantic blue banner appears in your peripherals, the excitement builds. The long walk to the front entrance seems like an eternity. You can’t wait to enter those doors because once you enter, anything is possible. You get the first look, the first crack. A privilege. It’s the “cool kids” private party everyone wants to be invited to. A chance to rub elbows with the big dogs.
A look behind “closed doors”, it only takes a few minutes after walking through those NAMM doors to realize your mind is about to hit sensory overload. GEAR, GEAR and more GEAR! New and improved gear, it’s everywhere around us.
The drumming manufactures didn’t disappoint this year at NAMM. From sleek new drum finishes to small gadgets that make a drummer’s life easier. There’s so much to see in a short time. It’s all there.
Over the course of the next few weeks I’ll be reviewing the gear I found interesting and apply them to “real world application”. Do they work? Are they affordable? Are they worth checking out? We shall see. Stay tuned, who knows, maybe some of this gear will be a “Game Changer”.
For now, check out exclusive footage of NAMM 2016. You might see familiar faces. Even Lars Ulrich makes an appearance.
