I wasn’t able to make it out to Anaheim for this year’s NAMM show, but I’ve been keeping a close eye the coverage coming though a number of outlets. So, here I’ve compiled my favorite photos and video from the show. Big thanks to DrumART, DRUM! Magazine and each of the companies that shared their own videos. First, the guys at DrumART put together these excellent albums with lots of photos from each booth. Click each photo to launch the album, and while you’re there, like their Facebook page.

Part 2

The good people over at DRUM! Magazine have been running their NAMM coverage almost nonstop since late last week. You can see everything they’ve posted on their 2012 NAMM Show Page.

I also wanted to share a few of my favorite pieces they put up this week. Each photo will take you to a page with descriptions and video.

Plenty of great video from the manufacturers themselves as well.

More from the great guys at Ear Filters

And an incredible look at the new Roland TD-30 from Mike Dolbear
