Day 4 - NAMM day 2

Woke up after a great nights rest, had a nice Starbucks Chai Latte and a croissant, some nice quality iPad-Skype chat session with Jessica and off to the second day of NAMM. I had to be early in there, as the people from The Kelly SHU wanted to shoot a little video of me promoting their products. As I had an exhibitor’s badge I was able to get in before the floor opened up to the public, and that was great to be able to speak with some of my endorser companies before mayhem appeared. Shot the video for Kelly SHU, another one for Vater Percussion and had a great time looking at all the new gear, get inspired for the coming investments in my studio, check a new Vater drum stick I will use, and just had a lot of fun. At the end of the day I teamed up with Rich and his wife and daughter & friends who where at the NAMM all day today. And after an Ihop diner and a great chat with some musicians I finally arrived back here at the studio around 2:30 am. LOOOONG day.
Time for bed! Below a few pics I took at NAMM today.

I am drummer of the Dutch post-prog band Dilemma (http://www.dilemma.band) and drummer and founder of the progressive rock/metal band Affector (www.affectormusic.com). As a musician I made a name in the progressive rock scene as drummer, bandleader and tour manager of the progressive rock legend Neal Morse (Transatlantic / Flying Colors / ex-Spock’s Beard). With him and a lot of other acts, I toured the world and recorded many best-selling CD's. I own a music studio and label, where I record, produce and release my own music and other bands & artists. Next to being a musician, I am an entrepreneur since the age of 19. I started 4 businesses. My main company is Novae Popschool (www.popschool.eu). A modern music school with multiple locations throughout The Netherlands. As musician, producer, teacher, author and entrepreneur I work with a mission: "I help musicians create and develop their own musical singularity, through which they will have a more successful and more fulfilling life. It is my mission to contribute to a more socially, loving and caring society through the power of music and modern music education. Rock on!
