The 2010 Winter NAMM show was rockin’ for Pro-Mark.  Lines stretched around the corner and down the aisle for autograph sessions featuring Thomas Pridgen, Ray Luzier, Pete Lockett, Barry Kerch, Jason Bittner, Jason Bonham, Mike Portnoy, John Fred Young and Abe Cunningham.

Steve Ferrone, Danny Seraphine, Doane Perry, Michael Cartellone, Jonathan Moffett and many, many more stopped by to say hello or just hang out.  Actor Gary Senise (CSI New York) even spent some time in the booth with his drummer-son.

Pro-Mark artists from across the genres gave special performances all week long! Michael Cartellone performed with Damn Yankees one day as a special event. Also, Dave Lombardo of Slayer performed Kiss’ “Deuce” live with members of Machine Head and Slipknot!

On the business side of things, dealers seemed to have a positive outlook for 2010, but continue to request your favorite store carry our new models. Without your voice being heard, dealers will be wary on stocking new items!!

If you missed it this year, mark your calendar. Winter NAMM 2011 is January 13-16, and we’re already planning for it!
