Hey,
I have been invited to NAMM in Jan 2009. Has anyone here been to a NAMM festival? How was it? What did you see/accomplish?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I used to go there in the early years when I was teaching for a retailer up here. As awfulldrummer said. Take pictures. I was there with the retail boys for their drumming school and therefore I was doing business for them. Got to meet a lot of people important to my playing career and also caught up with quite a few cats I knew in the playing game. Don't expect to get much sleep. Ask a lot of questions and keep your ears open.Concentrate on the drumming and Music end of things and avoid a lot of the parties which can take away from the learning curve.

You'll love it! What muso wouldn't? Dig your band by the way. Particularly like "King Of Lies". Good stuff!

Thanks Pywacket! If you are interested, there is a live video of King OF Lies here (yes, this is a shameless plug): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8onRC2GnbQ
Kind of funny, I actually called the people at NAMM and the lady on the phone specifically said there is no point for an artist to go. This is because the event is for manufacturers to sell their products to retailers. I am going to call Mark from MRP and get the skinny on what I should be doing out there. He is the one that invited me.
Thanks guys.
