5 COOL THINGS FROM NAMM A Report by Bruce Adolph
5 COOL THINGS FROM NAMM REPORT …
Each year we like to have some of our team present to you our “ 5 Cool Things From NAMM ” report . These selections are new products that caught our eye . Tools that will help you do what you do . They cover all price ranges and are even not all guitar related .
Before we kick off the items , I would like to briefly list the “ 5 Cool Things That Happened at NAMM ”. Things that I am grateful to the Lord for and things I want to also thank our friends at NAMM for allowing us to be involved in . I touched on these a little in my Sound Check at the start of the magazine , but there wasn ’ t enough room there for some photos and commentary I wanted you to know . Enjoy our recap .
Pre-NAMM Hang
THE PRE-NAMM HANG : The evening before NAMM kicks off , we had our own kick-off party with 20 Sponsors in a restaurant banquet hall set up and ready to mingle with our worship leader , Christian musician , and record producer friends . It was a fun A & R type Meet n ’ Greet and a chance to see old friends and make new ones .
YAMAHA ’ S NIGHT OF WORSHIP : This year the annual Night of Worship moved from the Pacific ballroom of the Hilton Hotel to Yamaha ’ s outside main street stage . Saddleback ’ s Worship team opened the night and then gospel artist Fred Hammond and his ensemble of great players and singers tore it up !
When two capo companies get along :)
WORSHIP MUSICIAN SUMMIT / TEC TRACKS : Our very own Doug Doppler ( Editorial Director ) courageously hosted seven workshops in a row on a variety of topics on Saturday . The panelist he recruited openly shared their insights and the classes had a very good turnout , especially for the lower attendance numbers at NAMM overall this year . We will have video for you in
