Former QUIET RIOT Drummer Attending NAMM

January 16, 2009

Former QUIET RIOT drummer Frankie Banali will attend this year's NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants),which is being held January 15-18 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.

Commented Banali: "Little did I know in 1983 as the drummer for QUIET RIOT and being fortunate enough to have anyone ask me for my autograph, that 26 years later I would still be fortunate enough to have anyone asking for my autograph! I am indeed a lucky man!

"I will be signing at Ludwig drums on Saturday, January 17 at 1:00 p.m. in Hall C and at Vic Firth at 4:00 p.m. in Hall D also on Saturday. I will also be visiting my friends at Sabian cymbals in Hall also located in Hall D throught the day."

Important: The NAMM show is **NOT** open to the public. The only attendees are NAMM member companies and their invited guests.

Video footage of Frankie Banali's "24/7/365" drum clinic, which was held on October 4, 2008 as part of the 11th annual Hollywood Vintage and Custom Drum Show in Hollywood, California, can be viewed below.

Frankie Banali in 2007 created a labor of love with a CD (released under the FRANKIE BANALI & FRIENDS banner),entitled "24/7/365 - The Tribute to Led Zeppelin". Frankie invited many of his friends to join him on making a heartfelt tribute to his favorite drummer John Bonham and his band LED ZEPPELIN.
