NAMM 2013!

We’ve just arrived in Southern California for the 2013 NAMM show, the largest musical instrument trade show in the world, and we couldn’t be more excited! Over the next four days we are going to be bringing you our complete NAMM coverage of all the latest and greatest in the world of drums and percussion. Stay tuned to this blog and our facebook page to see it all!

In the meantime, check out all of our new photo galleries from past NAMM shows.

Coming Soon: Gibralter G-Class Kick Pedal

As we make our list of new gear that we want to make sure to get our hands and feet on at NAMM this weekend, we wanted to show you this new G-Class bass drum pedal from Gibralter. This bad boy features a sculpted single-pillar frame, two cam drive adjustment points, and a variable-weight beater. The footboard height and beater angle can be independently adjusted, and it has a built-in tool kit attached to the cast-metal baseplate. We think it looks like some futuristically-retro Steampunk mashup, and we’re intrigued!

JUST IN: Silver Sparkle Ludwig Club Date

Old-School Specs with Modern Swagger

Check out this fresh silver sparkle Ludwig Club Date! 6-ply Cherry/Gum Wood shells with all round bearing edges give it that warm, resonant, tasty vintage Ludwig sound. It’s the perfect kit for gigging vintage collectors, and this just might be our favorite finish they come in. We’ll have it on the site soon, but until then give us a call if you’re interested (503-288-6950), this won’t be around for long! Things have come a long way since 1956…
