Hi all,

Well as the tittle suggests I am making the 14 hour flight to the states to attend the NAMM show, taking in some events like Bonzo Bash and a STYX concert I will be In LA for a few days here and there.

Drum shops and lessons are a plenty but just wondering who on here is up for a hang with some random Australian drummer, I arrive on the 20th and plan on getting lost in some drum shops, steak houses, cigar bars ETC...

So who's up for a catch up?

Oh and look at this...I mean LOOK AT IT......NEW....paid almost nothing at a clearance sale at a local drum shop......seriously......AWESOME!!!

Hop you are all well and safe....

Pre-emptive welcome!

I'll be there this year, probably checking out the Nomads (Whitty, Brown, Minh-Doky, Weckl) at Catalina's Thursday night before the show starts in earnest, would be cool to meet up with whomever's around from HoD.

You will have a blast. Check out the aristocrats at Alvas in San Pedro. They will be there for a week! Also Holdsworth and Virgil are in hermosa beach on the 25. Both are in the South Bay area. As long as u are renting a car all is good. The shows around Los Angeles are super fun. I could care less about namm.

Willy your near hermosa beach? Nice. I am walking distance from the venue on the 25th. I am having a hang at my place before the show. A few musician buds coming over for grub and suds then walk down to the jolly good show. Stop by. Any HOD cat is welcome.
