The crew at LP Music showed a surprising number of new products.

This cool new conga mount system makes setup a breeze.

Stanton Moore’s pandeiro. Is it the next drum set necessity?

A hi-hat shakere. The bigger beads enable it to be effective with up-down motion.

Stanton Moore, enough said.

They were making noise on the DM-10 at the Alesis booth.

Timbalero Ralph Irizarry and Kachiro Thompson on congas showed how to move the rhythm around

Very cool. The bass drum lift.

Jason McGerr of Death Cab For Cutie lays into it.

You’d be smiling if you made drums as well as Ronn Dunnett does, too.

The non-hairy mens club. Legendary builder Johnny Craviotto, DRUM’s Andy Doerschuk, and Joe Kenney.

Always beautiful, the Black Swamp Percussion booth.

Got cymbals? The Stagg booth.

Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez mesmerized the crowd.

Johnny Rabb is back in the drum stick biz. Look for more news soon.

Small, but great. This new BodyBeat metronome uses vibration to keep you on track.

Should we take some marimbas home? Yeah, why not?

The Army’s Old Fife and Drum Corps is a great gig. So great, that openings are rare.

Billy Cuthrell of the Percussion Marketing Council.
