Any NAMM rumors?

[dje31]

I saw those showing up in their photos a few months ago. I was wondering when they were going to release them.

Might one of those be the direct drive version? Was interested in them, but seemed many folks had issues with v1.0.

Any news on a possible special edition Paiste 2002's 50th anniversary? I know I play Zildjians but I'd buy them if they made 'em

Thank God...FINALLY!

what’s funny is that I could 100% see John good sitting there tapping on 23.5 shells explaining how that extra .5 inches makes all the difference in the world.

I wish Yamaha would offer more than a handful of colors on all their drums, except PHX. I would LOVE to see an end to all satin finishes, just boring boring boring to me. Rant over.

They're on Sweetwater now. 700, 800, and Concept series stands and pedals are all redesigned.

Yes there's new direct drive too.

I know what you mean, but satin finishes really work well on stage under lights.

I wonder if Mapex will bring back mydentity...maybe supporting higher shell lines.

I'd like to see something like Alesis/Yamaha/Roland offer cheaper pads with sampling etc for us non pros....

Never did NAMM, have always been on the fence if it was something I wanted to do or not. Is it cool? Think I would rather do Chicago drum show where it feels like there's more to buy.

It will definitely be cool your first time (and it was cool back in the day). I started going to NAMM around '98 and have gone somewhat regularly -- I've skipped a few years here and there. If you like to see more than just drums, it can be a neat place (though there's plenty to see in the drums section). It just seems to have gotten louder and louder (or I'm just getting older and older -- this one is a fact, ain't it?).

NAMM is still a trade show, so almost all the buying is done in the form of orders by dealers that will be delivered to them later. I believe some of the exhibitors at NAMM will sell some of their display items, but it's not a "shopping" show like Chicago is.

Sweetwater just sent an email with new NAMM releases from Tama, PDP, Sonor, Meinl, Ludwig, Yamaha and Roland. Ludwig seems to have a couple of new finishes for the NeuSonic line, that was the only thing that caught my eye.

Paiste added some new stuff and brought back some old stuff to their site/lineup today.
- 19” & 20” Signature Power Crashes
- 20” & 22” Signature Power Rides
- 14” & 15” Signature Power Hats
- 14” Signature Heavy Hats
- 22” Signature Mellow Ride

That’s all I noticed. There may be more. I know I’m buying a new 22” Sig Power ride and 19” Sig Power crash for sure. Once they hit stores lol.

There is a certain new finish in a certain Sonor line that people will really appreciate I think

 

[KingLudwig]

I know/confirmed that Pearl is releasing their new stuff in March in honor of their 75th birthday. Hopefully they have some cool anniversary model drums as well.

Actually on April 2nd...
PEARL DRUMS • "Celebrating 75 Years"

Rosewood in/out? That's not new! Ok ok. I'm doing some research.

New Tama Peter Erskine signature snare. Spruce/Maple hybrid 4.5x14"

PE1445 | Peter Erskine | SNARE DRUMS | PRODUCTS | TAMA Drums

Find a great collection of 「PE1445」 at TAMA Drums. The drum set is a jazz instrument — but you can play any style of music on it. The "Jazz Bass" was, in fact, played on more hit pop tunes than you can count; the "Jazz Snare" may enjoy equally legendary status one day. Designed to be affordable...
