In 2025, NAMM came back in full force, and there were amazing drum shows in Nashville and Chicago. Back in California, Drum Workshop and Guitar Center collaborated on a DW Factory Day complete with tours, clinics, and special Guitar Center sales and deals. All in all, the drum industry was showing their exciting new gear everywhere, and Modern Drummer was “on the beat” and there every step of the way. Here are the highlights from Modern Drummer’s coverage of Yamaha’s Night in the Pocket Concert, Nashville’s Music City Drum Show, The Chicago Drum Show, Drum Workshop and Guitar Center’s Factory Day, and NAMM. See you next year for an even better year, and even more happenings, in the drum industry!
