NAMM 2010 coverage starts here...

well, here actually.

That's right, this Thursday sees the start of the annual NAMM show in Anaheim, California. This is the event where all major drum companies launch their new products, innovations and ideas to the world. Rhythm will, of course, be there and we'll be updating daily via our Twitter account with all the latest news, as well as blogging on MusicRadar.com.

If that's not enough then keep your eyes peeled for the February issue of Rhythm, on sale 19 January, bringing you all the gear, drum talent and albums you need to check out in 2010. It's going to be a bumper year!

I'm MusicRadar's eCommerce Editor. In addition to testing the latest music gear, with a particular focus on electronic drums, it's my job to manage the 300+ buyer's guides on MusicRadar and help musicians find the right gear for them at the best prices. I dabble with guitar, but my main instrument is the drums, which I have been playing for 24 years. I've been a part of the music gear industry for 20 years, including 7 years as Editor of the UK's best-selling drum magazine Rhythm, and 5 years as a freelance music writer, during which time I worked with the world's biggest instrument brands including Roland, Boss, Laney and Natal.
