It was a highlight of the NAMM show this year getting to attend, and film, the Sabian Live Event at the Sheraton Park Hotel. The evening started out with Virgil Donati performing with Allan Holdsworth, Dennis Hamm and Jimmy Haslip.
After that massive display of talent, the stage was graced by Tony Royster Jr. and friends. This was our first time seeing Tony play live, and it was nothing short of stellar. His ease of motion, creativity and just the way he hit the drums was very impressive. Far too much groove for one human, but we're not complaining.
Last but not least was Mike Portnoy, Tony MacAlpine, Billy Sheehan and Derek Sherinian as the headlining act.
Sabian always put on an amazing, and free show, and this year was no exception. It's one of the coolest events at the NAMM Show, it's always free and jam-packed with talent. Thanks again Sabian!
