The
2009 Winter NAMM Report: Brady is Back!
It
was difficult to miss Brady’s nature-inspired booth at the
2009 NAMM convention this past January in Anaheim, California.

To
celebrate our return to the show, the unique Australiana display
only further enhanced our stunning and innovative new products.
And best of all, Chris Brady – our creative chief and company
founder – was on hand to introduce our finest newest instruments.

The
NAMM Show was very rewarding for Brady,
as dealers showed their commitment to the company's unique instruments
by placing orders that far-exceeded our expectations. All of our
display items, including our 2009 introductions, were snapped
up by noon on Day 1 and many special orders followed! There was
also a steady stream of artists who all wanted to play the drums,
talk about how great they recorded and meet Chris.

Taking
pride at the very center of our 2009 NAMM booth was our
new Kosaka Block Snare Drum. Shown in
a 14 x 5.5 model, these special drums were created to
honour the memory of Tat Kosaka, longtime president of
Pro-Mark Japan and a special friend of Chris Brady. They
are made of condensed bamboo, which offers a much higher
note than our traditional Australian timbers, allowing
for a powerful, yet sensitive sound. The Kosaka model
snare drums are very loud and cutting, without being too
abrasive, and are available in 14” x 4.5”,
14” x 5.5” and 14” x 6.5” configurations.
