NAMM week is here, a week where music instrument manufacturers showcase their latest and greatest gear and fly down big name musicians to hock their wares.
Our sister site, Gear Gods is keeping a schedule of artist performances, signing sessions and interviews at this year’s NAMM Show and it’s being updated constantly as more sessions are announced. A few big names we see so far: Mille Petrozza (Kreator), Stephen Carpenter (Deftones), Devin Townsend, Max Cavalera (Soulfly), John Petrucci (Dream Theater), Gary Holt (Exodus, Slayer), and Javier Reyes (Animals as Leaders). Check out the full list here, and let Gear Gods know if anything’s missing.
Beyond that, Gear Gods will be posting all week from the festival, as well as in the following weeks, revealing breaking news, product announcements and exclusive interviews.
To get a taste of what to expect, here are two awesome videos Gear Gods produced. First, a training video for NAMM:
