We are pleased to announce details of Yamaha’s activities at The London Drum Show taking place on 4th and 5th September at London Olympia; the show is expected to draw crowds in their thousands.
Yamaha will be exhibiting on stand C16-C19 where we will be showcasing our revolutionary Acoustic and DTX Electronic products. The kits include the hard hitting Rock Tour, pioneering PHX and the brand new DTX900 series featuring Yamaha’s ground-breaking pad technology.
Our retail partner at the show is Professional Music Technology and they are putting the finishing touches to some amazing special offers on Yamaha products across the range - exclusively available at the show.
Along with the exhibition and retail area’s there will be an array of Yamaha drum endorsee’s who will be performing and holding meet and greet sessions. Yamaha Artists who will be performing clinics and master classes during the London Drum Show include Ndugu Chancler, Dave Weckl and Andy Fisenden.
This is a rare chance to see Ndugu Chancler perform. Throughout his career Ndugu has performed with Blue’s legend Miles Davis and global phenomenon’s Frank Sinatra and Lionel Richie. Ndugu Chancler became a Yamaha endorsee in 1974 and has played Yamaha Drums throughout his career. We are honoured Ndugu is able to attend the show for a rare UK appearance.
Dave Weckl last performed drum clinics in the UK during 3 sold out events throughout for Yamaha in 2008. The attendees who were lucky enough to see Dave perform up close and personal went crazy about his playing which has to be seen to be believed. The chance to see Dave Weckl during the London Drum Show is a real must.
New to the UK scene is Australian drummer and Yamaha Endorsee Andy Fisenden. Andy has it all in styles, born in Perth, Andy landed in the UK in 2009 and has since created a buzz in the industry as he’s secured sessions and tours with Tinchy Stryder, Professor Green and the Sugababes. Catch Andy at 1pm in the main hall.
Finally, we are delighted to announce that Yamaha’s legendary endorsee Stave Gadd will be opening the show as he visits the UK for the ‘Mission from Gadd’ tour.
Yamaha Drums product manager Gavin Thomas explained. “It is very important that the drum industry in the UK have a dedicated drum show for all drum enthusiasts and I’m delighted that The London Drum Show has been made possible. We have pulled out all the stops to make this event a success with the artists involved, the new product’s on display and plenty of bargain’s to be had. This year’s show is going to be an event not to be missed”.
