Stagg cymbals and cases. Stagg makes a nice China type and there
were some other product lines that were interesting.

 


Stagg cases - affordable hardshell cases

 

Tama - always an impressive booth.

 



Tama has been pushing the Bubinga kits and it seems to be doing well.

ITama improved the isolation mounting system with this dedicated die cast enclosure.
The rubber isolators are of a very low durometer so the toms really do float nicely.

 

 

 

 


Tama also managed to circumvent the sliding bass drum mount with this tom holder that also allows the toms to be positioned closer to or further from the drummer.

Yamaha. This years acoustic showing seemed like more of an afterthought. There was "absolutetly" nothing new or of particular interest.

 

Note the banners for famous Yamaha GUITAR artists behind the drum kits.

A new "hybrid" line of K cymbals from Zildjian. Apologies to Zildjian for only one image on the pictorial.

That brings you to the end of the MusikMesse portion of the pictorial. We hope you enjoyed it.
