Pics from NAMM 2010

Mr. Scribbling Gypsy (my darling husband, Austin) was awesome enough to take these snaps at this year's NAMM Show, which is one of the largest music product trade shows in the world. It was held January 14-17 at the Anaheim Convention Center.

These are some scenes from the Remo booth:

Master drummer Donavon Lerman and Ed Lee

and international drumming star Issam Houshan

Drumming at the NAMM Show 2009

Here's a video my husband took of our good friend Ed Lee drumming with master percussionist Issam Houshan at the Remo drums booth at the NAMM Show in Anaheim on Saturday, Jan. 17. Since Ed picked up the doumbek a couple of years ago, he's become an amazing drummer -- but here you can see even an amazing drummer knows when to sit back and let a star like Bellydance Superstars' Issam Houshan shine...

NAMM 2009 show highlights...

This was the weekend when music professionals from all over the country gathered at the Anaheim Convention Center for the annual National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Show, including a strong showing from the Middle Eastern music community. My husband, Austin Cameron, and local percussionist Ed Lee attended the closed-to-the-public event and took these snapshots at the Remo drums booth.
