The
NAMM show for 2002 was held in Anaheim, California, at the
Anaheim Convention Center. NAMM is the "Show of Shows" in
the music manufacturing business and is the place where
all the buzz about products is created. All music manufacturers
show off their wares, and debut new products to Musical
Instrument retailers from around the world.
The NAMM show is held every year in California, and this
year it was held January 18th through the 21st.
Pearl introduced tons of new and exciting gear this year
at NAMM and here is your chance to get a sneak peek at the
most innovative drum products available way before they
