NAMM 2009
Wow, what a great year at Namm. This is the first year I attended the convention as an endorsed artist. Mark at MRP drums hung up a huge banner of me just under the MRP banner, it looked great.
The first day, I spent mostly with my good friend Steve Ratcliff. I was lucky enough to get into the Sabian party where I saw Jojo Mayer perform with his group. As well at F5 perform with Jimmy DeGrasso on drums. A friend of mine took me back stage to watch F5, that was way better to not have to fight the crowds.
The second day was even better than the first. I sat in on a bunch of Ableton Live demo's. Saw Peter Erskine perform with his Quartet, checked out lots of new cymbal companies, and met a ton of new people. That night I scored some tickets to see Papa Roach and the Street Drum Corp. That was a cool show, but I am not really into Papa Roach.
Anyhow, I will be posting videos up on You Tube from the show, as well as pics on my web site soon. It was a great time, hopefully I will meet you all down there next year.
Peace, STEVe
