I Went To NAMM So You Don't Have To (2022 Ultimate Walkthrough)

[@charliemay5758]

Thanks Justin. There are indeed real live people out here, so don't stop what you're doing. Great video.

[@65Drums]

Thanks Charlie!

[@FreedrumRocks]

Thanks for stopping by the booth! It was great to have you we really love the channel! Great work Justin!

[@gabe9671]

Excellent overview and makes me feel good for not going this year, thanks for taking one for the team!

[@65Drums]

For sure! Thanks for watching :)

[@scottskinner6602]

One of the best NAMM Show overview videos out there..Great job, Cool perspective of the show..

[@65Drums]

Thanks Scott! I was trying to make it feel like you were there

[@swimseven77]

Very well-edited Justin! Thank you so much for putting this together.

[@strauss777]

Man what an absolutely massive building. Very cool to see all the things.

[@paultowns]

Beep boop I’m not a bot lmao. I’m a real boy!! Thanks man I hope to go to this to see the latest and greatest and you get me a sneak peak and I appreciate that. Keep up the good work!!! I look forward to your vids and you have saved me thousands of dollars by your reviews and honest feedback. Keep kickin ass!!

[@ThePowerchimp]

Thanks for this from Sydney Australia! Players all over the world that appreciate a virtual tour like this! Subbed.

[@seanwalsh999]

Thanks for doing all the walking so we don't have too. Did you have one of those step counters? You probably did a few number of miles. That was certainly a whirl-wind tour, thanks for giving us the flavor.

[@65Drums]

lol I looked it up, my busiest day of NAMM clocked in at 20,721 steps. Lots of walking for sure

[@adrianjmanuel]

Justin! Can't believe I didn't realize that was you at Donner! I was working the booth, and you can see me wearing Nikes and khaki pants at 6:58 to 7:05! I think I may have asked you if you had any questions about the kit LOL Bummed I didn't get a pic with you, though hopefully there's next year!

[@aapolehtonen6404]

Man, that place is HUGE. Thanks for the tour!

[@65Drums]

it really is big, easy to get lost

[@natashanyxx9486]

Very fun. Thanks for giving us the whole walkthrough!

[@drummermomcjs]

This looks like a blast to attend. Hopefully someday I will be able to visit a NAMM show. Great video!

[@Zembassi3962]

This place is MASSIVE, not just HUGE! Plus, that drum circle looks like loads of FUN! Reminds me of ROCKIN' 1000! 🥁🥁🥁🥁

[@ArtesiaProNorthAmerica]

This is great, Justin! I was glued to the booth the whole time so it was really fun to watch this.

[@65Drums]

I keep forgetting you guys never get to leave the booth lol. But at least you got a taste of the rest of the space in the video. Good meeting you again!

[@jonny526]

EFNOTE bringing the heat, the fact they seem to be blooming even with everything that happened the last few years is amazing to see. Really shows they are doing it right

[@1ajgtwm]

you are speaking gospel man, i want one of their kits

[@jezusmylord]

they seem to be a bit cheaper version of ATV with a own hihat tech.

[@tomjones2348]

Superb video/audio of this event! I used to go to the Messe Frankfort years ago. I'd be there for days and never see everything. Today's technology is amazing.. Now, back to my drum practice. (I'm on day 5 and loving it).

[@alaric007]

was that Daniel Thrasher in the piano world section? that's an awesome cameo! :D

[@ProdByShawn]

Thought the same thing

[@WelchTuningSystemsInc]

Great video! Thanks for stopping by our booth and most especially for sharing the whole show experience.

[@65Drums]

Thanks for allowing me to film! I always enjoy visiting your booth every year, it definitely stands out

[@fraserhobbs9016]

Lmao you got unintentionally photobombed by Daniel Thrasher at 14:39

[@TonyDiaz.]

Awesome job, man. The fact that I live in another country makes this all the more compelling. Thanks!

[@65Drums]

That makes sense, there's some big instrument conventions in Germany, the UK, and China that I'll probably never get to see, but I'd like too. Just too expensive to travel that far

[@balfit]

@@65Drums how do you mean…? The UK is right here. ;-)

[@genericsomething]

7:27 I love the finish on that Ludwig kit. It has really cool greyscale art deco look. I want it!

[@65Drums]

I really liked that pattern on the shell too

[@ajmpatriot4899]

Thanks!

[@65Drums]

Thanks for the support AJM!

[@the6ig6adwolf]

The Fly By Night clock @6:33 is fantastic.

[@BaconFire]

I have not been to NAMM in Anaheim since early 90s. SO overwhelming when its at full tilt. I always brought ear plugs just to survive the sheer volume in some areas. Looks pretty mellow since Covid. Thanks for posting this. :)

[@cliffberry]

I remember my first trip to NAMM. For all whom haven't been, imagine walking through 30 Guitar Centers that are joined together. All the different products but also all the noise; some good, some bad.

[@PaulBirm]

Justin- That was epic man thanks for taking the time, money and energy to put this together, I might not other ever get there. Keep on Rocking my friend!

[@DeathswingKettlebell]

That brass sizzles adapter for cymbals is by Cherry Hill Drums. Best stuff

[@allenmitchell09]

Wow I’m glad you showed even non-drum stuff.

[@65Drums]

I usually do a drums only version, but the "drum world" section was a third of it's usual size this year. So I though why not show the entire show from beginning to end?

[@allenmitchell09]

@@65Drums I feel ya bro

[@passiton3801]

The place is huge. Never seen anything like it. Thanks for giving us brief insight into what is called NAMM. It would take a week to get around it all, if u could!

[@galgogergo]

omg 7:36 Traps Drums?? Are they still alive?? Their e-kit offering was one of my favorites! (cheapest Roland alternative at the time) Didn't know they're still in business.

[@EDCaub]

Great vid! Since I was running a booth the whole time I never got to go to any of the upper floors so it was cool to see that now!

[@65Drums]

Awesome! I think I talked to you at the booth too, see you next year :)

[@Les_h_drums]

Wow!!!! Lots of beautiful instruments. Things you may never get the chance to see. I was very saddened by the fact that yes it was busy at these “instrument” booths BUT when you walk into the DJ section you couldn’t move for the amount of people in there. Very telling as to where the music industry has gone and where it is heading. Parents, get your kids into music and buy them an instrument!

[@balfit]

Nice job Justin, thanks for showing around

[@gadymarcus5297]

magnificent sound thanks SIR.

[@marcosdepaula3593]

thanks for the insider look, awesome video as always.

[@seangonzales3530]

Thiiiiis iiiissss a treat! Thank you very much! And oh hey... you had a good cardio walk right there haha! 😂

[@hdfloyd]

Thanks dude!! i am going to NAMM next year just cause its on my bucket list. That Yamaha Piano on the wall sick....Oh the drums where cool too.

[@ajmpatriot4899]

Very well done and enjoyable to watch and hear! 👍

[@65Drums]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@Hasselblad9999]

Excellent coverage of the show.

[@kdw735]

Thank you for going and doing this. I had dreamt of going for years and finally got to as an artist the last big one. With the price of airline tickets the and feeling it wasn't going to be what it once was I sat this one out. Cool to see what I missed. Every serious musician should get the chance to go.

[@hooyah_whit7054]

Thanks for this Man!!! At the moment, attending NAMM with my Sons is still on my wishlist because of our jobs/college but we will attend in the near future!!! Take care and keep doing what you do...Im one of those real people!🤘😎

[@frankpuleo2009]

Nice job Justin, thanks for the walk through!

[@Yakuo]

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO

[@prod.lilsip5904]

always look forward to this video, thanks justin

[@blessedheavyelements8544]

Wow. A shell of it's former glory. Best Regards and Best Wishes!

[@65Drums]

It was much much smaller this year. But I think it'll come back eventually. Covid really made the companies reconsider if they actually wanted to spend tens of thousands of dollars on big booths this time

[@bungeechord1]

Great job! I wish there was more from AMI, aka KAT at the Hal Leonard booth. Mario was killing it with the ElectronicPercussion!

[@aaronsparks9012]

Even though Justin said NAMM was downsized this year it kind of reminded me of what it's like too be in an art show I wonder if he can keep doing this until the pandemic is over thanks for showing us what it's like too be at the NAMM show Justin.

[@Jdrumseattle]

My feet almost hurt. Very cool Thanks man!

[@DaveonDrums]

Loved this video! Please do this again next year!

[@yankeesdrums2]

Bro, thank you so much for the work you do to bolster music!

[@cederickforsberg5840]

Those WTS tuning systems looks a little funny but probably work FANTASTIC for tuning accuracy!

[@TheCrazyAztec]

Thanks for going and filming, I don’t feel bad NAMM was missed this year, everything looks like 2020 with the exception of alligator man 🐊✌🏼

[@robbiemaupin]

Loved the bubble pop transition

[@markziva7038]

Very impressive! I must go when possible!

[@StarrAckerman]

Thanks Justin! - nailed it! ❤️

[@mullrump2]

That was cool man!Tanks..

[@stevol6282]

Was hoping to see more from efnote. Would like to see a video on the new Simmons Titan 50 if you happen to get your hands on one. Side mounted triggers on a $450 drum kit with decent internal sounds could be a game changer.

[@tonydesousa5652]

I never been to a NAMM Festival , for me I would love to attend one ☝🏻.

[@louisa5984]

Really enjoyed the video Thanks!!

[@GianVillegas]

Thank you man! This is top content.

[@sjh0010]

That was superb, must have been an excellent day, thanks for sharing, I'm a robot.

[@geevee7823]

Bless that man who restored the Chamberlin.

[@U_ever]

Not a Bot but enjoyed the video. I'm glad you endured the crowd so I didn't have to. Thanks.

[@BDM7]

That snare with the string connecting all the tension "rods" to a knob is quite interesting. I wonder how well that would work for toms. Snares are quite different in you can tune them unevenlly and get any sound you want. Still, I'd be curious to see it.

[@tonycarpenter-Makzimia]

I'd forgotten what a cacophony of sounds those things are. My Autism would be off the charts at that. Thanks for a remote view :).

[@dilankarun9172]

Waiting for you to post your video at the Kat Drums booth. We'll get to see Sweetwaters NDV in the back-ground ! (Inside joke, Justins on one of Sweetwaters videos lol)

[@65Drums]

I'm working on that video right now

[@JCrowe86]

Seems like a blast! With a lot of coverage I've seen, others seemed to insinuate that it was rather empty but your coverage looked like there was just a ton going on. If that was empty in comparison to years past, then no telling what it's like normally.

[@photonpilot__]

As someone who has been to NAMM quite a few times pre-pandemic, it looked empty in this footage. Usually it's so packed you have trouble walking around.

[@samtrissel1591]

amazing video!

[@demonicsweaters]

Really enjoyable video man!

[@65Drums]

Thanks Justin! took forever to edit this, glad you like it.

[@demonicsweaters]

@@65Drums I bet! I really wanna go next year. I don't understand why there's not one in NYC. We have everything else, haha.

@@demonicsweaters That's a law of the universe, can't have everything lol. It would be fun if it was held in NYC one year, I've never been there

come on Loyd, only a bot would casually mention in conversation that they "definitely aren't a bot" ;)

[@PaulLea]

Great clip. I would be in heaven there.

[@gonzorudeboy]

im bothered that the Odery drum at 4:35 have the red stripes on the botton side of the drums but the bass drum has it on the "upper" side of the drum

[@wouldstock1]

Awesome!

[@hstreub]

Daniel Thrasher was in that Bechstein clip!

[@johndef5075]

Thanks Justin!

[@65Drums]

thanks for stopping by again John!

[@djabthrash]

Not related to NAMM, but a quick video suggestion (sorry if it's been done before) : a guide to make your VSTi sound like real drums in the room from the drummer's perspective (using bullet mic channels, etc). By that i mean make it sound like what you hear when you're behind an actual acoustic drum kit (which is way different than listening to a fully miked kit).

[@jono6794]

What happens if you play the first section of fur elise in the piano section?

[@thomasnappo6309]

Thx Justin...another good video well done...my question is...Can you purchase anything there..like a cymbal..snare...thx again.

[@lrblouie]

THANK YOU

superb video - thank you

Yup, he's a pretty cool dude

Thanks man

wish you'd spent a minute at kat/alternate perc... that was Mario, playing the malletKat, the guy who makes the trapkat, the malletkat and the diti about 35 miles from my house!!... i own a trapKat love it like air!!
