NAMM 2007 starts today and runs through Sunday January 21st, in Anaheim, California. The annual National Association of Music Merchants show usually has alot more going on than the general public will ever see, so it's really cool to get an inside look. This year should be better than ever.
Celebrity Guests:
Bassist Extraordinaire Tony Levin has blogged about his past NAMM experiences, and always has nice pictures to enhance his daily post about the goings on. He's usually at the Ernie Ball Music Man booth, where he says it's always interesting to see what their new theme is. So we'll just have to see, won't we?
Another legendary bassist, Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Trapeze) will be at a meet and greet signing session at the Manne Guitars booth this Friday January 19th. Booth #1630, Hall E at 3:00 pm.
Hughes will also be featured on the national syndicated radio show Rockline, which will air on Wednesday February 7th, starting at 8:30 pm PacificTime (11:30 pm Eastern.) You can call into their national toll free fan line @ 800-344-7625. www.rocklineradio.com
Glenn Hughes' new solo album Music For The Divine will be released in the US on January 30th, on Demolition Records. The album features Chad Smith on drums and J.J. Marsh on guitar, with special guest John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Ludwig Drums have announced five new Access CS Drum Outfits. The five high gloss glitter finishes are available in amber, blue, cherry, green and purple and are applied to 100% birch shells. All outfits feature Vibra-Bands and include Ludwig 300 Series hardware on either the Power, Fusion, Fusion Plus or Jazz styles.
The Ludwig Accent line feature the famous "Zep Set" and "Fab 4" outfits, which are now available in Black Diamond, White Marine Pearl, Silver Sparkle and Black Oyster Pearl, and are available with the sturdy 700 Series double brace hardware. That's the only way to go for a rock and roll drummer. They sure worked for John Bonham and Ringo Starr! www.ludwig-drums.com
