djarrett Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 Hey, DRUM GODS! I am going to Summer NAMM 2001 with MusicPlayer.com over the next three days. I am lucky in that the event is in my town of Nashville. This way, I can still check in with you guys. While at NAMM, I will be seeing, touching, experiencing all the latest and greatest stuff. Is there anything in particular that you want to know about? Let me know here and I will see what I can find out about your request. Perhaps I will answer back specifically, or will include your item in the NAMM report that I will compile after the show. Let me know. Thanks, DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mightydog Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 Bring me back a few samples from the Tama booth, would ya? A couple of pedals, maybe? Swing by Vic Firth and talk 'em outta one of their cool hats with their logo on it. It's a trade show--crap on, man!!! I can't complain, but sometimes I still do... --Joe Walsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidereal Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 Actually DJ.... I'd love to hear a report on snare drums. I'm really jonesin' for a whacked out snare as an auxiliiary to my Tama Artstar. The Porkpie small diameter ones for example, like 8", 10", I'm wondering about their tone.... or any manufacturer with something different in snares. even anything that just makes a snare sound... anything! I'm in full-on obsessed snare drum mode!!! (somebody... hose me down) Just for the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bb thomas Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 djarrett, How about a pic of Ron Spagnardi wearing a WFD "Extreme Sport Drumming" T Shirt and hugging Miss WFD. Now that would be the money shot! (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnie c. Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 dj, I hope you let us know what drummers are there and whats going on with those two editors. Maybe you could ask them, if they are there, to post a thread with a friendly debate on this w.f.d. subject. This would be a thread that everybody would want to see. For and against.

djarrett Posted July 21, 2001 Author Share Posted July 21, 2001 Hey, Vinnie C: Keep your shirt on! Some things are developing regarding this editorial battle! Regarding drummers that I saw today ... Bernard Perdie, Tris Imbodem, Jim Chapin, Freddie Gruber, Matt Savage, Johnny Rabb, Glen Caruba, Tommy Wells, Paul Liem, Eddie Bayers and the list grows!

felix stein Posted July 21, 2001 Share Posted July 21, 2001 I want a 10 pc. sonor designer series in heavy maple or birch...maybe a champagne sparkle with a 6.5 bronze snare and a whole array of paiste cymbals and sound effects.

MPCman Posted July 22, 2001 Share Posted July 22, 2001 Hi there, go check out the ddrum4 setup. They can now be supplied with mesh headed pads as well. greetings, Pieter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidereal Posted July 22, 2001 Share Posted July 22, 2001 dj.... can you ask the Sonor guys what are some good online dealers who sell their Jungle Snare. I haven't been able to find a good one. Looking forward to your Summer NAMM '01 report! Just for the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djarrett Posted July 22, 2001 Author Share Posted July 22, 2001 I hope to answer all issues asked for here! Give me time to get some sleep first. It is back to the show tomorrow for the final day! Having a blast and wishing you guys were here. We could hoist a cold one (beer or ice tea! Whichever your pleasure!) Perhaps you guys should all check out the Percussive Art Society's site ( go to www.pas.org) and come to Nashville for PASIC 2001. There are going to be tons of great drummers in clinic and a percussion only-like namm show! DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djarrett Posted July 25, 2001 Author Share Posted July 25, 2001 No ... I understand he stopped coming to NAMM shows long ago. Saw the rest of the great MD gang, Kevin Kearns, Bob Berenson, and Rick Van Horn. DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chance6245 Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 Did you get to look at the Peavey Radial Pro 1000 series drums? I saw a Tangerine set at a local Peavey dealer and it was killer. CHANCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djarrett Posted July 26, 2001 Author Share Posted July 26, 2001 Hey, Chance: I did see these drums. They were not new to me, but they are now offering add on toms for these sets. That is encouraging for Peavey drum players. Although I am not fond of the design, I must say that Peavey's bass drums are the bomb! DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidereal Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 I'd love to hear your full report DJ. Snare drums, snare drums, snare drums, snare.... http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Just for the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
