We've just returned from the giant NAMM show held every year in Anaheim, CA. The Namm show brings together manufacturers, distributors, retailers and artists from around the world for four days of business and music making.

Our new exhibit will be bigger and more interesting than ever. Now that we're the new Premier USA distributor, in addition to tambourines, triangles, snare drums, and other accessories, we'll have Premier timpani, marimbas, glocks, chimes, marching and pipe band drums on display!We're also unveiling a new model tambourine at the show. Can't give the details just yet (we don't want...
