The Best Of NAMM 2017

Jared Falk  /  UPDATED Aug 22, 2022

Aaaand that’s a wrap! Another year, another NAMM in the books. We’d like to look back and share with you our biggest highlights of this year’s show.

NAMM2

The biggest highlight for the Drumeo team was having our own booth. In previous years, there was a chance we’d bump into students and artists when walking around – but this year we were able to connect with EVERYONE since they all knew where to find us. The couches were constantly occupied with tired NAMM-goers.

Here are just a few of the familiar faces we came across..

We also saw and heard the finest selection of bronze:

Zildjian’s new line of K Custom Special Dry cymbals! It’s about time they re-released their dry hats.
