I am guessing we might see a new flagship from Yamaha. A silicone 14 inch pad would be nice. Not sure about Roland having a new flagship yet. It would be a good idea if it was groundbreaking.

Roland tend not to announce new products at NAMM.
Superior Kicks and Snares isn't going to happen. The EZX version has just about everything you need already.

A new ground breaking module from Sweden...:-)

No - that won't happen this Namm...
eDrumin 40?

It is disappointing I can't go in person this year and I can't imagine when they could do this again considering how crowded it is. The website is promoting NAMM 2022.

...be sure I got it right from the start

i heard yamaha is working on a software editor, that allows easier editing of sounds in a module..
imagine a birds eye view of all sound parameters at once .. that would be great..

So January NAMM 2021 is cancelled and in it's place is some giant cope event. What a wasted opportunity. Manufactures could have just submitted a compilation of new product videos and let the organisers sort out the presentation on twitch or something.

I doubt Roland will ever announce anything significant at NAMM again, they have their own expo, so should Yamaha. I eagerly await what's going to happen with the DTX series - would like to leave the VST scene one day!

Actually, NAMM is not entirely "cancelled." As I noted in the OP, it's being held virtually (online) this year.

So, in effect, I imagine it's happening much as you suggest via product videos/presentations.

I believe this gives vendors an ample platform on which to announce new products, so from our perspectives here, unless anyone was planning to attend, it's pretty much the same thing IMHO.

I'm with you on the DTX. I'd love to see what they do with it. If the DTX-PRO is the little brother, I'd love to see the big brother soon, along with their mesh pad noted in the DTX-PRO manual.

I can think of one advantage of online product announcements, it avoids the inevitable problems of folks finding or creating problems by playing around with the gear. If I am not mistaken, it’s been 8 years since the VH 13 came out, hate to see that empty USB port on my TD 27.

Looking forward to see what will be announced by Roland this year. January 15th last year, the VAD Acoustic Design range was introduced. Looking forward to see if they come up with a 16" Floor tom or 8" small rack tom to extend my 506 set. A digital Hihat is even more preferred.

I'd suggest turning it around then

[ToDaMax]

I'm predicting the Roland digital hi hat will be released, finally.

If not, it would be nice if they got rid of the mechanical trigger and go with an optical-based system as ATV has.

Checked on Roland's events page and they did have this for NAMM attendees, not a product reveal, but what the heck.

That does not sound like a product presentation.
