sounds of NAMM ’22 / a FREE drum & loop kit captured in the field.

One of the biggest Music Trade Shows, sampled.

Thousands upon thousands of musicians, instrument makers, and other music industry professionals gather together at the annual NAMM Show in Anaheim California, and it's just as loud as you'd think it would be.

Nevertheless, between all the noise there are always some amazing jams and musical happenings that will catch your ear and make you stand and listen for a while.

I took the 2022 show as an opportunity to walk through the halls with a field recorder in hand, capturing every interesting sound I could capture in a somewhat isolated manner. The result is probably my weirdest sample pack to date but it certainly contains some really useful yet quirky musical tidbits. Enjoy!
