The Best and Worst of Summer NAMM
Ah, yes… the giant, beautiful candy store for musicians also known as NAMM. While not many outside the music industry get the chance to physically attend this biannual gathering of music merchants and pros, there is never any shortage of content for anyone to feel like they’re right there in the great event center.

- That’s where I come in. In the video below, I’ll show you some of the best parts of NAMM that you won’t find details about on any other media outlet–for better or for worse.
