Yeah man.... By invite only.... Kinda sucks....

Not true the general public can be admitted for a hefty price,$15-25 (Daily)possibly.Endorsees and retail merchants generally get in free of charge.If you know someone thats Endorsed they can get you in on one of their two Guest passes,Thats how I get in.

im pretty sure its invite only. i tried gettin tickets for 2005 through a local drum shop and they said u couldn't buy them. once we became better friends, they hooked it up for 2006.

NAMM is an organization... only NAMM members get into the NAMM show...
You have to apply to be a NAMM member and it costs $195 per year to be a member...People can loose their
membership for letting non-industry individuals sneak in under their company name. However companies are allowed a
certain amount of guest passes. The fee is about $25 per guest pass.

It's a place for people working in the industry....Companies usually pay for their endorsing artists to attend.

NAMM is OFFICIALLY WACK!!!!! YO BIG B LACK LEMME GET YOUR GUEST PASS HOMIE U ENDORSED BY LIKE 3 companys lol im tryna get in man!!!

Thanks for the proper info Rick.

$195 isn't bad at all for an Industry Networking Event. It's all abou tthe business not the lookee-lou (Though I have to admit my first time out I may be a straight up tourist/groupie,

).

In all seriousness though folks, If you REALLY want to be a pro it would not hurt you to start investing in Industry affairs. Get you a professional press pack worked up and plenty of copies of it... throw it in a shoulder strap brief case and handle up.

You dress up as Elvis and i'll dress up a Jimi Hendrix. I'll meet you at the news stand across the street from the convention center and we'll take it from there. Bet?

I'M NOT SURE BUT, I DON'T THINK THAT VIDEOS AREN'T ALLOWED. WITH AS MANY VID CLIPS I'VE SEEN OF NAMM I THINK THEY ARE PERMITTED. IF NOT SERCURITY AIN'T ON THEY JOB. lol

BUT, I'M GONNA TRY MY BEST TO GET SOME TYPE OF ENDORSEMENT WITH SOMEONE. MOONGEL, LUDWIG, UNIVERSAL PERCUSSION, MENIL, MUSSER, CB DRUMS, ANYBODY. lol

HOLLA
