What a great NAMM show we had!

 

The Brady booth was again styling this year, with four outstanding and playable kits on the show floor, and a glorious wall of snare drums outlining the right perimeter of the booth. Quite the eye

catcher indeed!

 

On Saturday's show day, Korn frontman Jonathan Davis spent two hours signing

autographs for the hundreds of fans that turned up at the Brady booth to see him make his official drum debut. Photos of this event will be hitting all drum-related press in the near future so keep an eye out for it!

 

We were honored that so many of the industry's finest players took time out from their busy days and paid us a visit. The Professionals’ first choice this year: Those new 16" snare drums! Some of the drummers seen checking out the new gear at the Brady booth this year were:
