Charlie Benante (ANTHRAX),Chris Broderick (MEGADETH, ex-NEVERMORE, JAG PANZER) and John Tempesta (THE CULT, ex-ROB ZOMBIE, EXODUS, TESTAMENT) are among the guest musicians who will take part in the 30th Anniversary Simon Phillips Retrospective concert, which will be held on Thursday, January 15, 2009 at the Anaheim Marriott Ballroom F in Anaheim, California. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m. Show times are 8:00 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. Like the NAMM musical instrument convention itself, the show is a "trade-only" event and not open to the public. A NAMM badge with ID will be required for entry.

The 30th Anniversary Simon Phillips Retrospective concert is a celebration of the 30th anniversary of Simon Phillips' endorsement of Tama drums and both the drummer and the drum company intend to celebrate in the proper fashion.

"To celebrate this historic milestone," said Terry Bissette of Tama, "we've created a 30th Anniversary Retrospective concert at the Anaheim NAMM convention on Thursday night, January 15, 2009. This event will include Simon and his band PROTOCOL featuring guitarist Andy Timmons, a special opening 'drum circle' including several special guests as well as a star-studded special guest-filled retrospective portion that will see Simon run through songs he has recorded and performed throughout his career."
